The WTGL will launch in winter 2026-27. TMRW Sports announces the first LPGA Tour players joining next winter.
TMRW Sports has revealed the first group of LPGA Tour players committed to the WTGL, a new team golf platform in partnership with the LPGA. The international roster features world number one Jeeno Thitikul from Thailand, rising English star Charley Hull, three-time Olympic medalist Lydia Ko of New Zealand, Canada’s most successful golfer Brooke Henderson, and seven-time US Solheim Cup participant Lexi Thompson.
Top Stars to Headline WTGL
Like the TGL, the WTGL will feature some of golf’s biggest names, as reflected by this initial wave of committed players. Leading the group is undoubtedly world number one Jenny Thitikul, who has won five LPGA Tour awards and seven tournaments. She has held the top world ranking spot since August 2025 and is considered one of the sport’s brightest young talents at just 22 years old.
Also joining next year is English player Charley Hull, ranked fifth in the world, with three LPGA Tour wins and a notable 15-9-3 record across seven Solheim Cups representing Team Europe. LPGA Hall of Famer and former world number one Lydia Ko will participate as well. The 28-year-old has amassed 23 LPGA Tour victories including three major championships and three Olympic medals.
Canadian Brooke Henderson, the country’s most decorated female golfer with 14 LPGA Tour wins including two majors, is the fourth player announced by TMRW Sports for the WTGL. The final face of this inaugural WTGL group is 30-year-old American Lexi Thompson, who won the 2014 Kraft Nabisco Championship as the second youngest major winner in LPGA history.
\”WTGL Will Be a Global Stage\”
Mike McCarley, founder and CEO of TMRW Sports, expressed confidence in the WTGL’s future: \”The WTGL will be a global stage where LPGA stars can shine. This first wave of committed players represents this opportunity with some of the world’s best talents,\” he said. \”These players will thrive in the WTGL’s competitive environment while fans can admire their skills and build deeper connections through unprecedented access enabled by the league’s modern matchplay team format.\”
