TMRW Sports has announced the first five LPGA players committed to the Women's TGL (WTGL), a new indoor team golf league launching in winter 2026-27. The group includes world No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul, along with Charley Hull, Lydia Ko, Brooke Henderson, and Lexi Thompson. This move aims to showcase top women's golf talent in a tech-infused format.
On January 19, 2026, TMRW Sports, founded by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, revealed the initial lineup of LPGA players for WTGL, partnering with the LPGA to bring team golf to women. The announcement, made in Orlando, Florida, highlights a global roster designed to engage fans through innovative match play.
The committed players bring diverse achievements. Jeeno Thitikul from Thailand, the current world No. 1, earned the 2025 Rolex Player of the Year and Vare Trophy, with seven LPGA wins, including back-to-back CME Group Tour Championships. She represented Thailand at the 2024 Paris Olympics. England's Charley Hull, ranked No. 5, has three LPGA victories and a strong Solheim Cup record of 15-9-3 across seven appearances, plus two Olympic outings for Great Britain.
New Zealand's Lydia Ko, a LPGA Hall of Famer and former No. 1, boasts 23 LPGA wins, three majors, and three Olympic medals: gold in 2024, bronze in 2020, and silver in 2016. Canada's Brooke Henderson, the country's most successful golfer with 14 LPGA victories and two majors, is a three-time Olympian and 2019 ESPY winner. American Lexi Thompson, with 11 LPGA wins including one major, has seven Solheim Cup appearances and two Olympics.
"WTGL will be a global stage to showcase LPGA stars, and this first wave of committed players represents that opportunity with some of the world’s best," said Mike McCarley, TMRW Sports founder and CEO. He emphasized the league's mic'd-up players and team formats for deeper fan connection.
LPGA commissioner Craig Kessler praised the partnership: "Partnering with TMRW Sports on WTGL reflects our belief that innovation can help the game reach new fans and create greater visibility for LPGA athletes." The season will occur at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, mirroring the men's TGL's 2025 debut. More details on teams and signings are forthcoming.
