WTGL Reveals Five Inaugural Teams and 25-Player Rosters

The LPGA-backed, tech-driven indoor league aims to stage a November–December season at the SoFi Center pending commercial deals.

Overview

  • WTGL announced complete rosters for five founding teams on Monday, August 31, 2026, naming 25 players who will compete in the league’s first season.
  • The lineups mix major champions and fan favorites — including Jeeno Thitikul, Charley Hull, Lydia Ko, Brooke Henderson and Michelle Wie West — but only four players are in the world top 10 and world No. 1 Nelly Korda is not on any roster.
  • Matches will be played at the indoor SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, in a TGL-style format with three-player matchups, a regular season, semifinals and a best-of-three final scheduled for November and December.
  • Franchise groups include established sports owners such as Fenway Sports Group and Motor City investors, and TMRW Sports’ Series A valuation near $500 million underpins the venture’s early financing.
  • Key commercial elements remain unresolved — notably a formal TV-rights deal — and those decisions will affect player commitments, fan access and the league’s wider financial reach.
