Women’s golf is coming to TGL. The league and the LPGA announced Tuesday the creation of WTGL, which will feature LPGA stars competing in the same format as the men currently do in this, the second season of TGL.
The team match play format will be played in the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., and will begin next season, which is labeled as "winter 2026-27."
“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,” said LPGA commissioner Craig Kessler. “I’ve seen how new formats can engage audiences while showcasing both athlete personality and performance, and WTGL brings that spirit of innovation to the women’s game. It creates another global stage for our athletes—one that helps fans connect more deeply with them and continues to elevate the visibility and growth of women’s golf.”
Said TMRW Sports CEO and founder Mike McCarley: “Now, along with the LPGA and its athletes, we look forward to creating a stage to help showcase the stars of the LPGA. WTGL’s short-form, team golf format will engage new audiences and complement the LPGA Tour’s global appeal.”
The number of teams and specific names of players who will compete were not announced. It also not known if the women will have any competitive interaction with the men. Additional details are expected to be released in the next few months.
