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 revealed the initial group of LPGA Tour players committed to the WTGL, a new team golf platform in partnership with the LPGA. This global roster includes World No. 1 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 U.S. Solheim Cup participant Lexi Thompson.
Top Stars Joining the WTGL
Like the TGL, the WTGL will feature some of the sport’s biggest stars, evident from the first wave of players committed to the league.
Leading the charge is Jenny Thitikul, the world number one, who has already earned five LPGA Tour awards and seven LPGA Tour wins. She has held the top spot since August 2025 and, at just 22, is among the sport’s brightest talents.
Also joining is Charley Hull, ranked fifth globally. The English player has won three LPGA Tour events and holds an impressive 15-9-3 record across seven Solheim Cups for Team Europe.
LPGA Hall of Famer and former world number one Lydia Ko will also participate next year. The 28-year-old has 23 LPGA Tour victories, including three major titles, and three Olympic medals to her name.
Canada’s Brooke Henderson, the fourth player announced by TMRW Sports, boasts 14 LPGA Tour wins, including two majors, making her the most successful Canadian golfer in history.
The final member of the first WTGL group is Lexi Thompson. The 30-year-old American won the 2014 Kraft Nabisco Championship, becoming the second-youngest major winner in LPGA Tour history.
