A group of big-name female golfers are set to team up in the inaugural Women's TGL league, a tech-infused competition that promises to shake up the sport. Charley Hull and Lexi Thompson are among the LPGA Tour stars who have signed on for the new venture, joining Lydia Ko and Brooke Henderson as part of the initial lineup.
The announcement comes ahead of the league's launch in late 2026-27, with TMRW Sports' Mike McCarley saying that WTGL will be a "global stage to showcase LPGA Tour stars". The competition promises to deliver an unprecedented level of access for fans, with every player mic'd up and competing in a modern match play team format.
The league's innovative approach is likely to appeal to new fans, while also giving existing ones a fresh perspective on the sport. WTGL will feature the same key components as its men's counterpart, TGL, which was launched last year in partnership with the PGA Tour.
One of the standout features of WTGL is its focus on team play, which McCarley believes will "engage audiences while showcasing both athlete personality and performance". With a season of fast-paced match play matches on the horizon, fans can expect to see some thrilling competition from these top players.
The news has been welcomed by LPGA Tour commissioner Craig Kessler, who sees WTGL as an opportunity to "elevate the visibility and growth of women's golf". Additional details on the league will be announced in the coming months, including further signings and team names for their maiden season.
