The year 2025 is set to be a transformative one for sports, with several pioneering events and substantial shifts across competitions and media. Golf fans will see Tiger Woods lead the innovative TGL, a tech-infused team league featuring top PGA Tour players. The league kicks off on January 7, 2025, with a fast-paced format and primetime matches on ESPN. In addition, Woods is anticipated to make a significant impact on the PGA Tour Champions once he becomes eligible later in the year, as noted by industry legends.
Other major developments include the election of a new International Olympic Committee president and the conclusion of the high-profile legal battle between Manchester City and the Premier League. Football enthusiasts can also look forward to FIFA’s revamped Club World Cup, relaunching in the U.S. as a 32-team tournament. Meanwhile, media shifts are underway as Netflix expands its live sports coverage, now airing NFL games, WWE's Monday Night Raw streamed through a historic 10-year partnership, and even WrestleMania 41 set to draw viewers in April 2025.
