For years, the gold standard in performance golf was defined by what nature could provide. Today, the world’s most innovative golf league—TGL presented by SoFi—proves that the future of elite play is powered by technology and precision engineering. If you demand the highest level of performance for your practice space, whether for your home in the Texas Hill Country or a commercial installation in downtown San Antonio, you need the world-class quality of San Antonio putting green turf.
We at SYNLawn are thrilled to step back into the spotlight as the Official Synthetic Surface Partner for TGL Season 2. This is not just a sponsorship; it is the ultimate stamp of approval. When TGL needed a surface to flawlessly translate data-driven simulator play into real-world action, they vetted over 100 brands. SYNLawn was the unequivocal choice, proving the unmatched realism of our golf turf.
The SYNLawn Difference: Validation on a Global Stage
The TGL GreenZone is an intense environment where short-game skills are tested under pressure and televised scrutiny. The turf must not only look authentic but also perform with measurable, scientific precision. This requires more than just grass—it requires an engineered system.
We spent more than two years engaged in rigorous testing and development with TGL. Why? Because the surface had to meet the hyper-critical standards of tour professionals. Our turf systems are engineered to support “tech-infused” competition, ensuring perfect short-game play, realistic ball bounce, and seamless integration with virtual data tracking. This alignment with a next-gen, tech-driven league reinforces our reputation as an innovative provider of high-performance San Antonio golf greens.
Upgrading the Field: What’s New in GreenZone 2.0
The TGL venue, the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, received a significant overhaul for Season 2, and we were proud to execute the synthetic surface installation. Based on direct, invaluable feedback from the professionals who played Season 1, the GreenZone was strategically redesigned to enhance strategy and challenge.
SYNLawn installed approximately 31,000 square feet of high-performance turf to complete the project. Key updates included:
- A Larger Canvas: The putting surface is now one-third (38%) larger, increasing the total size to 5,270 sq ft. This offers the pros more variety and strategic pin placements.
- Mound Restructuring: The demanding 7-foot mound was lowered by 18 inches, creating more natural slopes and improving the flow of play.
- Bunker Excellence: The number of bunkers was reduced from three to two, with the remaining enlarged by 50%. These now feature our PermaEdge Bunker System with stacked construction, mimicking challenging links hazards.
These adjustments underscore the fact that our core SYNLawn products—trusted in Season 1—remain the gold standard for putting greens.
The Technical Roster: Products Engineered for Perfection
The installation showcases a complex layering of our advanced product lineup. We started with Precision Putt™, our flagship putting surface, covering 5,178 sq ft and installed to achieve a lightning-fast, tournament-ready Stimpmeter rating of 11.0. Surrounding the green is nearly 24,500 sq ft of SYNTipede 243, providing the durability and realistic feel needed for the fringe and fairway areas.
To truly simulate course conditions, we installed 1,510 sq ft of SYNBlue 949 to create a dense, true-to-life rough simulation that affects ball speed and spin on approach shots. For the hazards, our SYNSport White was used as the base for the bunkers, which are then filled with Augusta National white sand. Finally, our specialized Tee Strike product was installed for the practice bays, built to handle full swings and hold a standard tee.
Our GreensMaster certified installers meticulously manage every detail, ensuring the precision roll and performance of these putting green turf systems—if it works for Rory, it will work for you. This partnership provides unmatched product validation; if it performs under competitive fire, it’s the ideal choice for your home San Antonio golf turf.

SYNLawn Golf Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the nylon fiber in your turf compare to other synthetic grass materials? Nylon is the strongest synthetic fiber available, offering superior resilience and memory. For putting greens, this means the turf fibers stand up better to traffic and force. This ability to maintain an upright structure is key to achieving the realistic ball roll, check, and spin characteristics required for professional-grade play.
2. Is the speed (Stimp rating) of the putting green permanent once installed? The initial speed is determined by the specific product (like Precision Putt) and the installation technique, which involves specific amounts of infill. While the speed is highly stable and consistent, our GreensMaster installers can calibrate the speed during installation to match your preference, from a moderate residential speed to a fast tournament pace.
3. How does practicing on a SYNLawn synthetic green translate effectively to natural grass courses? Absolutely. Since our turf is engineered to replicate the biomechanical properties of a natural green—allowing balls to check, roll truly, and accept spin—it provides a far more realistic practice environment than cheap alternatives. Practicing on a SYNLawn green builds authentic muscle memory that directly translates to improved scores on natural courses.
4. How does SYNLawn turf handle the intense heat and sun in San Antonio? Many of our high-performance golf products incorporate our proprietary HeatBlock™ Technology. This feature helps to reflect sunlight and reduce heat absorption, ensuring the surface remains cooler and more comfortable for play throughout the hottest summer months.
