The WTGL will launch in winter 2026-27. TMRW Sports announces first LPGA Tour players joining this new team golf platform.
TMRW Sports has revealed the first group of LPGA Tour players committed to the WTGL, a new team golf platform in collaboration with the LPGA. The global lineup includes world number one Jeeno Thitikul from Thailand, rising English star Charley Hull, three-time Olympic medalist Lydia Ko from New Zealand, Canada’s most successful golfer Brooke Henderson, and seven-time US Solheim Cup participant Lexi Thompson.
Major Stars Headline WTGL
Following the model of the TGL, the WTGL will feature some of the sport’s top stars. The initial group of players already signed confirms this high level of talent.
The flagship player is undoubtedly Jeeno Thitikul, the world number one who has earned five LPGA Tour awards and seven victories. She has led the world rankings since August 2025 and at just 22 is regarded as one of the sport’s biggest talents.
Charley Hull will also compete in the new league next year. The English player is ranked fifth globally, has won three LPGA Tour events, and is noted for her outstanding 15-9-3 record over seven Solheim Cups for Team Europe.
LPGA Hall of Famer and former world number one Lydia Ko, aged 28, will also be part of the WTGL. She has achieved 23 LPGA Tour wins including three majors, as well as three Olympic medals.
Brooke Henderson, Canada’s most successful golfer with 14 LPGA Tour victories including two majors, was the fourth player announced by TMRW Sports for the WTGL.
The final face of the first WTGL group is Lexi Thompson. The 30-year-old American won the Kraft Nabisco Championship in 2014, becoming the second-youngest major winner in LPGA history.
\”WTGL Will Be a Global Stage\”
Mike McCarley, Founder and CEO of TMRW Sports, expressed strong optimism about the WTGL’s future following the announcement: \”The WTGL will be a global stage where LPGA stars can shine, and this initial wave of committed players represents this opportunity with some of the world’s best athletes,\” he said. \”These players will excel in the WTGL’s competitive environment, while fans can admire their skills and build deeper connections through unprecedented access facilitated by modern match-play team formats.\”
Scheduled to begin in winter 2026/27, the WTGL will offer a fast-paced team match play season at the custom-built SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
