TGL launches women's league with top LPGA stars set to compete

TGL launches women's league with top LPGA stars set to compete

The WTGL will feature the world's top women golfers competing in fast-paced, team-based match play. The league is scheduled to kick off in winter 2026–27, following the LPGA season.

"Partnering with TMRW Sports on WTGL reflects our belief that ‌innovation can help the game reach new fans and create greater visibility for LPGA athletes," ‌LPGA Commissioner Craig Kessler said in a joint press release.

"I've seen how new formats can engage audiences ​while showcasing both athlete personality and performance, and WTGL brings that spirit of innovation to the women’s game. It creates another global stage ‍for our athletes - one that helps fans connect more deeply with them and continues to elevate the visibility and growth of women’s golf."

TGL, founded in 2022 by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy's TMRW Sports in partnership with the PGA Tour, features six squads of four players competing in primetime team golf.

A seventh team is set to join the league in 2027.

"I think we've already seen the success with TGL and it's been able to highlight a little different side of the guys (and) so I think seeing that for the LPGA Tour is going to be really exciting," Patrick Cantlay said.

In the most recent contest at SoFi Center on Tuesday, Billy Horschel drained the decisive putt to give Atlanta Drive GC their seventh consecutive victory in a 7-4 win over The Bay Golf Club.
