WTGL 2026: Teams, Players, Schedule, and Everything Golf Fans Should Know

Women’s professional golf is getting a new kind of competition. On November 8, 2026, WTGL will make its debut, bringing some of the LPGA Tour’s biggest names together for a fast-paced indoor team golf league. 

Created through a partnership between the LPGA and TMRW Sports, WTGL builds on the concept behind TGL, offering a different way to watch professional golf. Instead of following individual players across a traditional course, fans will see teams compete inside a high-tech venue, with strategy, quick decisions, and team rivalries at the center of the action. 

With five teams and 25 LPGA players confirmed for its inaugural season, there’s plenty for golf fans to look forward to. Here’s what you need to know before WTGL tees off. 

What is WTGL?

WTGL is a women’s team golf league developed by TMRW Sports in partnership with the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA). It will feature professional women golfers competing in indoor team matches at SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. 

The league follows the technology-driven approach introduced by TGL, which brought professional golf into an indoor arena with a massive simulator screen and a specially designed short-game. WTGL will use a similar setup, giving players a chance to compete in a different environment while bringing fans closer to the action. 

Each match will feature two teams going head-to-head in a fast-paced competition that lasts approximately two hours. The format is designed to combine the skill and precision of professional golf with the energy of team sports. 

For the LPGA, WTGL also creates another platform to showcase its players and introduce women’s golf to new audiences. 

How Does WTGL Work?

WTGL will feature five teams, each with a roster of five players. However, only three players from each team will compete in an individual match. 

The competition takes place inside SoFi Center, where players hit full shots toward a large simulator screen before moving to a physical green area for shorter shots and putting. The venue also features a rotating green that changes the playing setup between holes.

Like TGL, WTGL will include several features designed to keep matches moving and make the competition more engaging: 

• Shot clock: Players have limited time to make their shots, adding pressure to important moments.
• The Hammer: Teams can use this strategic element to increase the value of a hole by one point, potentially changing the direction of a match. 
• Mic’d-up players: Fans can hear conversations, reactions, and team discussions during competition.
• Real-time performance data: Technology provides shot information and statistics that help explain what players are doing on the course. 

The league will also adapt playing distances and shot requirements to reflect performance data from the women’s game. This means WTGL won’t simply copy the men’s TGL setup; its competition will be designed around the abilities and playing characteristics of LPGA athletes. 

Meet the Five WTGL Teams and Their Players

The inaugural WTGL season will feature five teams with a combined 112 LPGA Tour victories, 48 Solheim Cup team selections, and 15 major championships among their players. Each roster brings together established champions and emerging talent. 

Here’s a closer look at the teams and some of the names fans can expect to see. 

1. Atlanta Drive GC

Atlanta Drive GC features a strong mix of major champions and experienced LPGA players. Its roster includes Charley Hull, Minjee Lee, Yuka Saso, Andrea Lee, and Nataliya Guseva.

Minjee Lee brings three major championships to the team, while Yuka Saso is a two-time U.S. Women’s Open champion. Hull is another familiar name, known for her competitive personality and three LPGA Tour victories. 

2. Boston Common Golf

Boston Common Golf combines experienced players with rising talent. Its roster includes Céline Boutier, Chizzy Iwai, Megan Khang, Lottie Woad, and Ina Yoon. 

Boutier won the 2023 Amundi Evian Championship, while Khang has represented the United States in four Solheim Cups. Woad is also one to watch after making an impressive start to her professional career. 

3. Los Angeles Golf Club

Los Angeles Golf Club has a roster featuring Michelle Wie West, Gaby López, Aki Iwai, Alison Lee, and Kiari Romero. 

Wie West is one of the most recognizable names in women’s golf, having won the 2014 U.S. Women’s Open. López brings international experience, while Iwai and Romero add younger talent to the lineup. 

4. Motor City Golf Club

Motor City Golf Club features several accomplished international players, including Brooke Henderson, Jeeno Thitkul, Lexi Thompson, Ruoning Yin, and Albane Valenzuela. 

Thitikul finished 2025 as the world’s No. 1 player, while Henderson has 14 LPGA Tour victories and two major championships. Thompson also brings plenty of experience, with 11 LPGA Tour wins and six Solheim Cup appearances. 

5. New York Golf Club

New York Golf Club rounds out the lineup with Lydia Ko, Rose Zhang, Danielle Kang, Linn Grant, and Yana Wilson. 

Ko is an LPGA Hall of Famer with 23 tour victories, three major championships, and three Olympic medals. Zhang made history by winning the Mizuho Americas Open in her professional debut, while Kang adds another major champion to the roster. 

With so many accomplished players across the five teams, the inaugural season should offer plenty of interesting matchups.

WTGL 2026 Schedule: When Does the Season Start?

WTGL’s inaugural season begins on Sunday, November 8, 2026, with Los Angeles Golf facing New York Golf Club at 3 p.m. Eastern Time on ESPN. 

The regular season will feature 10 matches, with each team facing the other four teams once. At the end of the regular season, the top four teams will advance to the playoffs. Here are some important dates to mark on your calendar: 

Date	Match or event
November 8	Los Angeles Golf Club vs. New York Golf Club
November 29	WTGL doubleheader on ABC
December 15	Regular-season finale
December 20-21	Semifinals
December 22-23	Finals

The Finals will use a best-of-three format, with the winning team becoming the first WTGL champion. 

The November 29 doubleheader is another date worth watching. It will feature Boston Common Golf against New York Golf Club, followed by Motor City Golf Club taking on Atlanta Drive GC. Both matches will air on ABC.

Where can you watch WTGL?

For viewers in the United States, WTGL matches will be available across ESPN platforms: ABC and ION. 

The opening match on November 8 will air on ESPN, while selected regular-season games will appear on ION and ABC. The Finals are scheduled to air on ESPN2. 

Fans who want to experience the competition in person can also purchase tickets to matches at SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. The venue places approximately 1,500 spectators around the playing area, offering a close-up view of the simulator screen, rotating green, and players. 

International viewers should check local sports broadcasters and official WTGL announcements for viewing options, as U.S. broadcast information does not necessarily confirm availability in other countries. 

How is WTGL Different From TGL?

Since WTGL follows the concept introduced by TGL, fans may wonder what separates the two leagues. 

The biggest difference is the players. TGL features men’s professional golfers, while WTGL brings together players from the LPGA Tour. Both leagues use indoor golf technology, team-based match play, shot clocks, and the Hammer. 

However, WTGL’s playing setup will be calibrated for women’s professional golf, including adjustments to hole distances and shot requirements based on performance data from the women’s game.

The two leagues share a similar approach to competition, but WTGL gives women’s golf its own platform, teams, and storylines. 

Why WTGL Could Be a Big Moment for Women’s Golf

WTGL gives LPGA players another opportunity to connect with fans outside the traditional tournament schedule. Its indoor setting and team format also offer a different viewing experience for people who may not regularly follow professional golf. 

The team structure could be particularly interesting. Fans can support a club, follow its players throughout the season, and watch rivalries develop as teams compete for a playoff spot. The shorter match format may also appeal to viewers who prefer a quicker sporting event. 

For the players, it offers another way to showcase their skills and personalities. Mic’d-up conversations, team decisions, and fast-paced competition can reveal parts of the game that traditional tournament coverage may not always capture. 

Of course, the league’s long-term impact will depend on how fans respond once matches begin. But with an established group of LPGA stars and a format built around technology and team competition, WTGL has a promising starting point. 

Final Thoughts: What Golf Fans Can Expect From WTGL

WTGL brings a new dimension to women’s professional golf by combining familiar LPGA talent with indoor technology and team-based competition. Its inaugural season will give fans a chance to see some of the sport’s biggest names compete in a format that is different from traditional tournaments. 

With the first match scheduled for November 8, golf fans won’t have to wait long to see how the league performs. Whether you’re already a TGL follower or simply curious about the future of indoor golf, WTGL is one new competition worth keeping an eye on.
