The Detroit franchise joining TGL (TMRW Golf League) in 2027 revealed its official brand identity and logo on Thursday, April 30.
Motor City Golf Club is set to become the seventh TGL franchise – and the first expansion team – in the league founded by Rory McIlroy, Tiger Woods and media executive Mike McCarley.
The new logo features dark blue and white colors with a checkered-flag pattern inside a circle with “Motor City Golf Club” and “Detroit” on the edge.
Motor City Golf Club is owned by private investment group Middle West Partners, which includes Sheila Hamp, the primary owner of the Detroit Lions.
The club says Detroit’s identity as the Motor City inspired the logo reflecting a culture of “speed, design, and mechanical excellence that’s part of the city’s DNA.”
“As TGL’s first expansion team, we’re thrilled to reveal a new brand that embodies Detroit and takes a major step to bringing Motor City Golf Club to life,” said team governor Michael Hamp. “We wanted the brand to feel like its home city while honoring Detroit’s pride, culture of design and innovation. We also aimed to establish an identity and team colors that stand proudly alongside Detroit’s celebrated sports logos. We couldn’t be more pleased with the result and we feel the MCGC logo represents the history of our city and sits uniquely amongst the other teams in the TGL landscape.”
TGL played its inaugural season in January 2026 with six teams: Atlanta Drive, Boston Common Golf, Jupiter Links, Los Angeles Golf Club, New York Golf Club and The Bay Golf Club.
All matches are played at SoFi Center – a facility designed specifically for the league that mimics a full-size golf course indoors using high-definition video screens and an adjustable putting surface – in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. It cost $50 million to build and seats 1,500 people, according to the league.
