The WTGL will launch in winter 2026-27. TMRW Sports announces the first LPGA Tour players joining the new team golf league.
TMRW Sports revealed the initial group of LPGA Tour players committed to the WTGL, a new team golf platform in partnership with the LPGA. This global group includes world number one Jeeno Thitikul from Thailand, rising English star Charley Hull, triple Olympic medalist Lydia Ko from New Zealand, Canada’s most successful golfer Brooke Henderson, and seven-time U.S. Solheim Cup participant Lexi Thompson.
Top Stars Headline the WTGL
Like the TGL, the WTGL will feature some of the sport’s finest stars, as seen by this first wave of committed players.
Leading the group is undoubtedly Jeeno Thitikul, world number one, who has earned five LPGA Tour awards and seven victories, leading the world rankings since August 2025 and regarded as one of the sport’s brightest young talents at just 22 years old.
Also joining the new league next year is Charley Hull, ranked number five globally, with three LPGA Tour wins and an impressive 15-9-3 Solheim Cup record for Team Europe across seven appearances.
LPGA Hall of Famer and former world number one Lydia Ko will also participate, boasting 23 LPGA Tour wins including three majors, as well as three Olympic medals at 28 years of age.
Canadian Brooke Henderson is the fourth player announced by TMRW Sports for the WTGL, with 14 LPGA Tour victories including two majors, making her the most successful Canadian female golfer in history.
Rounding out the initial WTGL roster is 30-year-old American Lexi Thompson, the 2014 Kraft Nabisco Championship winner and the second youngest major champion in LPGA history.
\”WTGL Will Be a Global Stage\”
Mike McCarley, founder and CEO of TMRW Sports, expressed optimism following the announcement: \”The WTGL will be a global stage where LPGA stars shine, and this first group of committed players represents that opportunity with some of the world’s very best. These players will thrive in the WTGL’s competitive environment while fans admire their skills and connect more deeply through unprecedented access provided by the league’s modern team matchplay format.\”
