The Women’s TGL (WTGL) has officially unveiled the complete player rosters for its five founding squads as the league prepares to kick off its inaugural season in November. This announcement marks a significant milestone for the new venture, which was conceived by golfing legends Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy through their company TMRW Sports.
After successfully launching the men’s TGL in 2025 and partnering with the LPGA earlier this year, the organization is now ready to showcase a fresh, team‑oriented format for women’s professional golf. A total of twenty‑five elite golfers have been allocated to five teams, each comprising five members. Among the notable names are Charley Hull, a former Solheim Cup stalwart, and Jeeno Thitikul, the Thai prodigy who has already made a splash on the international stage.
The selection process was designed to balance star power, emerging talent, and geographic diversity, ensuring that each team can compete at a high level while also offering compelling storylines for fans. Collectively, the rosters represent an impressive résumé of experience and achievement.
The players together have amassed 48 Solheim Cup appearances, a testament to their proven ability to perform under pressure in team competition. This includes eight athletes who have already secured spots on the 2026 Solheim Cup roster, underscoring the depth of talent on display. In addition, the squads have claimed 15 major championship titles among them, highlighting the caliber of play that will be on display in the indoor arena. The international flavor of the league is equally noteworthy.
The combined Olympic experience of the twenty‑five golfers amounts to 28 appearances, and they hail from 13 different nations. This global representation aligns with the WTGL’s mission to broaden the appeal of women’s golf and provide a platform where fans from around the world can rally behind their favorite players.
Below is a breakdown of each team and its members: **Atlanta Drive** – Nataliya Guseva, Charley Hull, Andrea Lee, Minjee Lee, Yuka Saso **Boston Common Golf** – Céline Boutier, Chizzy Iwai, Megan Khang, Lottie Woad, Ina Yoon **Los Angeles Golf Club** – Aki Iwai, Alison Lee, Gaby Lopez, Kiara Romero, Michelle Wie West **Motor City Golf Club** – Brooke M. Henderson, Jeeno Thitikul, Lexi Thompson, Ruoning "Ronni" Yin, Albane Valenzuela **New York Golf Club** – Linn Grant, Danielle Kang, Lydia Ko, Yana Wilson, Rose Zhang All matches will be staged at the purpose‑built, climate‑controlled SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
This venue, originally constructed for the men’s TGL, offers a high‑tech, indoor environment that eliminates weather variables and allows for a fast‑paced, spectator‑friendly experience. The arena’s design incorporates immersive fan zones, dynamic lighting, and real‑time data displays, all intended to amplify the excitement of team competition. Rufus Hack, the president of golf at TMRW Sports, articulated the vision behind the league: "WTGL will combine teams of world‑class LPGA Tour stars with the energy of fans inside SoFi Center to create a thrilling new experience for women's golf.
The five teams will go head‑to‑head throughout November and December, creating a consistent spotlight for women's team golf and giving fans a new way to see the players' personalities, competitive instincts and decision‑making as teammates. With the rosters now set, the teams' identities and rivalries can begin to take shape." The competition format mirrors a round‑robin regular season, where each team faces the others multiple times. Every match carries weight, influencing postseason positioning and ensuring that each encounter feels consequential. Following the regular season, the league will transition into a knockout phase featuring single‑elimination semi‑finals and a best‑of‑three championship series.
This structure is deliberately aligned with the LPGA Tour calendar and the broader offseason, allowing players to maintain competitive rhythm while providing fans with continuous, high‑stakes golf action. Beyond the on‑course action, the WTGL aims to innovate in several ancillary areas. Broadcast partners will deliver multi‑camera coverage enriched with player mic feeds, strategic analytics, and behind‑the‑scenes access, offering viewers an unprecedented glimpse into the strategic nuances of team golf.
Moreover, the league plans to integrate interactive fan experiences, such as real‑time voting on certain match‑play decisions and virtual meet‑and‑greets with the athletes. The launch of the WTGL represents a bold step forward for women's professional golf, blending the sport's traditional elegance with modern entertainment elements.
By assembling a roster of accomplished champions, rising stars, and international representatives, the league is poised to capture the imagination of both die‑hard golf enthusiasts and casual viewers alike. As November approaches, anticipation builds for what promises to be a landmark season that could redefine how women's golf is presented, consumed, and celebrated worldwide.
