The WTGL will launch in winter 2026-27. TMRW Sports announces the first LPGA Tour players joining the new team golf league.
TMRW Sports has announced the first group of LPGA Tour players committed to the WTGL, a new team golf platform in collaboration with the LPGA. This global group 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.
Top Stars Headline the WTGL
Similar to the TGL, the WTGL will feature some of the sport’s best stars. The first wave of players already committed reflects this commitment. The flagship star is undoubtedly Jeeno Thitikul, the world number one, who has won five LPGA Tour awards and seven LPGA Tour titles. She has led the world rankings since August 2025 and at only 22 years old is one of the world’s greatest talents.
Also joining next year is Charley Hull from England, ranked number 5 globally, with three LPGA Tour wins and a notable 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 compete next year. The 28-year-old has 23 LPGA Tour wins including three majors, plus three Olympic medals.
Canada’s Brooke Henderson is the fourth player announced by TMRW Sports. With 14 LPGA Tour wins, including two majors, she is the most successful Canadian golfer in history.
Rounding out the first WTGL group is 30-year-old American Lexi Thompson, who won the 2014 Kraft Nabisco Championship and became the second-youngest major winner in LPGA Tour history.
\”The 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 Tour stars can shine, and this first wave represents that opportunity with some of the world’s best players,\” he said. \”These players will excel in WTGL’s competitive environment while fans admire their skills and build a deeper connection through unprecedented access provided by the league’s modern matchplay team format.\”
