TGL partnering with LPGA to launch women's league

The women are following the men into tech-infused golf.

The LPGA and TMRW Sports on Tuesday announced the formation of the new WTGL, which will begin in the winter of 2026-27.

WTGL will feature teams of LPGA Tour stars competing in simulator-based matches from SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.

Yet to be confirmed are the players involved and whether teams will be aligned with the current TGL franchises.

"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. "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."

TMRW Sports was founded by Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and former NBC Sports executive Mike McCarley.

"In partnership with the LPGA, WTGL is another step in creating a modern, media-focused version of a centuries-old game that appeals to today's sports fan," said McCarley, who serves as CEO of TMRW Sports.

"Since the launch of TGL a year ago, TMRW Sports has been putting the pieces in place to create a women's league featuring the best players in the world. Now, along with the LPGA and its athletes, we look forward to creating a stage to help showcase the stars of the LPGA. WTGL's short-form, team golf format will engage new audiences and complement the LPGA Tour's global appeal."
