The LPGA and TMRW Sports announced the WTGL, a separate women’s indoor golf league that will be run apart from the existing TGL. Matches are planned for the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. The WTGL will use a tech-infused, indoor format similar in look to TGL. Several operational details remain to be finalized, including team numbers and ownership groups.
Key facts:
- The WTGL was announced as a women’s indoor league affiliated with the LPGA and TMRW Sports and will be run separately from TGL.
- Matches are scheduled to take place at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
- The league is expected to be played primarily during the LPGA offseason and could overlap with parts of the TGL schedule.
- Organizers have not yet announced how many four-player teams will be in the inaugural WTGL season and ownership groups are still forming.
- TMRW Sports said TGL drew a notably young audience in its inaugural season, with a median age of 52 and 41% of viewers in the 18-49 age group, and the WTGL is presented as a similarly media-focused effort.
Summary:
The WTGL introduces a short-format, media-focused indoor competition intended to raise visibility for LPGA players and present matches in a two-hour, more intimate setting. The league remains in early stages for logistics such as team count, ownership and precise scheduling. Undetermined at this time.
