Major winner Nelly Korda is conflicted about the new Women’s Tomorrow Golf League, criticizes its concept and keeps her participation open.
The Tomorrow Golf League (TGL) announced earlier this year the expansion of their indoor league, revealing that from late 2026, the LPGA Tour will be integrated. This will give rise to the Women’s Tomorrow Golf League (WTGL), which will also feature the top female players from the LPGA Tour. While the WTGL announced the first participants — including world number one Jeeno Thitikul from Thailand, triple Olympic medalist Lydia Ko from New Zealand, and seven-time US Solheim Cup player Lexi Thompson from the United States — the two-time major and Olympic champion Nelly Korda has not yet been named.
Nelly Korda Expresses Critical Views on WTGL
On Tuesday, Korda spoke for the first time about the newly founded league in an interview with the American golf magazine Golfweek. While training at the driving range of Lake Nona Golf and Country Club in Orlando, Florida, she expressed mixed feelings about the WTGL and criticized the TGL: \”I’m surprised no other players have spoken out. It’s a real shame we aren’t playing alongside the men. There’s no better way to advance the sport, and it would have been revolutionary. I believe it would’ve been the first time men and women stood on the same course competing for the same prize money. But I also think it’s great we have this opportunity. Those are my mixed feelings.\”
Korda also suggested that instead of creating a separate women’s version of the TGL, it might have been possible to integrate a female player into existing men’s teams. She mentioned that many of her peers on the LPGA Tour share similar views.
