The road to glory runs through the Par 3s: The Grass League is a Par 3 league you need to know about

Played under the lights and created to flip the script on traditional golf formats, The Grass League is set to play its second event of the year in August. Founded in Tempe, Arizona, the league promises to deliver “fast-paced, high-stakes action” on par-3 courses around the world.

“Unlike traditional creator golf formats, The Grass League was built on one guiding principle: competition comes first,” according to TGL.

The league lives by the saying, “If you can make it, we’d love to have you.”

“Franchises have complete control over their rosters, giving them the freedom to add anyone, with only the constraints imposed by other tours limiting eligibility. That open structure makes Cinderella runs and surprise storylines possible, all while keeping the competitive integrity of the sport intact,” according to a release.

The 2025 Season Features Three Marquee Events:

• May 2-3: Season opener at Grass Clippings at Rolling Hills (Tempe, AZ)
• August 30-31 (Labor Day Weekend): Event 2 at Goat Hill Park (Oceanside, CA)
• December 5-6: Championship finale back at Grass Clippings at Rolling Hills

The league includes 11 franchise teams representing major U.S. markets. Notable ownership includes:

• The Dallas Horsemen, co-owned by Good Good Golf
• The San Diego Muni’s, led by 2023 U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark and golf lifestyle brand Municipal
• The Los Angeles Roses, co-owned by World Series champion and Dodgers manager Dave Robert

The Grass League has partnered with NBC Sports for multi-platform distribution:

• The May opener streamed exclusively on Peacock
• The Labor Day and December events will air on Golf Channel’s linear broadcast

The league has engaged WME Sports to oversee global partnership sales and HNS Sports Group for elite-level event production.

“Anchored by the Grass Clippings team and its flagship venue in Tempe, the league is actively expanding to other lighted par-3 venues across the U.S. and beyond,” according to the release.
