Brooke Henderson, announced as the fourth WTGL player by TMRW Sports, holds 14 LPGA Tour wins with two majors, making her Canada’s most successful golfer.
The final player in this inaugural WTGL group is 30-year-old American Lexi Thompson, who won the 2014 Kraft Nabisco Championship, becoming the second-youngest major winner in LPGA history.
