The SoFi Center which is scheduled to host Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy's TGl on January 9, 2024, met with a major setback when the dome of the stadium collapsed about two days ago.
It was reported that an overnight temporary power failure in the area caused the unfortunate incident at Palm Beach State College in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
A drone footage of the arena, which surfaced on X (formerly Twitter) earlier today, showed the extensive damage that the dome has suffered. Watch the video below:

However, as per a statement by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy's TGL to Golf.com, there was no injury or technological damage at the SoFi Center in Florida. The Spokesperson said:
"An overnight failure to the temporary power system used during the construction phase caused partial deflation and limited damage to the air-supported dome section of the site. The dome section has been further deflated by our crew and will remain down while they work to remedy the situation. There were no injuries, and no technology was impacted. Other work on site will continue."
While there are some speculations regarding the postponement of the upcoming tech-based league, no official statement regarding the same has come forward till now.
