WTGL launches in winter 2026–27 with top LPGA players confirmed by TMRW Sports for the inaugural season.
TMRW Sports unveiled the first group of LPGA Tour players committed to WTGL, a new team golf platform in partnership with the LPGA. The global roster includes World No. 1 Jeenae 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 Solheim Cup participant Lexi Thompson.
Star-Studded Lineup for WTGL
Like TGL, WTGL will feature some of the sport’s best stars, evident from the initial group of players signed for the league. The flagship is undoubtedly Jeenae Thitikul, the world number one who has earned five LPGA Tour awards and seven victories. Leading the rankings since August 2025 and just 22 years old, she is one of the sport’s brightest talents.
Joining her is Charley Hull, ranked fifth worldwide. The English golfer has three LPGA Tour wins and is renowned for her impressive 15-9-3 record across seven Solheim Cups representing Team Europe.
LPGA Hall of Famer and former world number one Lydia Ko will also compete in the upcoming WTGL season. The 28-year-old has secured 23 LPGA wins, including three majors, and won three Olympic medals.
Canada’s Brooke Henderson is the fourth announced player. She claims 14 LPGA Tour victories, including two majors, making her Canada’s most accomplished female golfer.
Rounding out the first WTGL group is American Lexi Thompson, who won the 2014 Kraft Nabisco Championship, becoming the second-youngest major winner in LPGA history at age 30.
“WTGL Will Be a Global Stage”
Mike McCarley, founder and CEO of TMRW Sports, expressed confidence about WTGL’s future following the announcement: “WTGL will be a global stage where LPGA stars can shine, and this first wave of committed players reflects that opportunity with some of the world’s best golfers,” he said. “These players will excel in WTGL’s competitive environment, while fans gain unprecedented access and deeper connections through the league’s modern matchplay team format.”
Scheduled to launch in winter 2026/27, WTGL will showcase fast-paced team matchplay at the purpose-built SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Building on the foundation of TGL presented by SoFi, WTGL will incorporate key elements like microphone moments, risk-reward team decisions, and the throwing of the hammer, alongside a technology-driven platform providing comprehensive shot performance data and statistics seamlessly integrated into the competition. With Alex Morgan’s Trybe Ventures as lead capital partner, WTGL is TMRW Sports’ second major project in partnership with the LPGA.
