The Women's TGL (WTGL) has officially unveiled the complete rosters for each of 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 is the brainchild of golf legends Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy through their joint enterprise, TMRW Sports. The organization previously introduced the men's TGL in 2025 and has been working closely with the LPGA since the beginning of the year to bring a fresh, team‑based format to women’s professional golf. A total of twenty‑five elite players have been allocated to five teams, each comprising five members.
Among the notable names are Charley Hull, a former world No. 2 and major champion, and Jeonge "Jeeno" Thitikul, the teenage prodigy from Thailand who already boasts multiple LPGA victories.
The selection process aimed to balance experience, international representation, and a mix of playing styles to ensure competitive parity and excitement for fans. Collectively, the rosters bring an impressive pedigree to the league. The players have accumulated 48 Solheim Cup appearances, a testament to their ability to perform under pressure in team environments.
Eight of those appearances are slated for the upcoming 2026 Solheim Cup, indicating that many of the WTGL athletes are key contributors to their national teams. In addition, the combined tally of major championship victories among the twenty‑five athletes stands at 15, underscoring the high caliber of talent that will be on display. The international flavor of the league is further highlighted by the fact that the participants have logged 28 Olympic appearances across 13 different countries.
This global diversity not only enriches the competitive landscape but also aligns with the WTGL’s goal of expanding the reach of women’s golf to new audiences worldwide. 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 contested at the purpose‑built indoor arena known as the SoFi Center, located in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
This venue, originally constructed for the men’s TGL, features a climate‑controlled environment, cutting‑edge technology, and a compact, fast‑playing course that encourages aggressive shot‑making and dynamic spectator experiences. By utilizing the same facility, the WTGL can leverage existing infrastructure while also creating a seamless transition for fans familiar with the men’s league.
Rufus Hack, President of Golf at TMRW Sports, emphasized the league’s vision: "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 is designed to keep every match meaningful. During the regular season, the five squads will engage in a round‑robin schedule, meaning each team faces every other team at least once.
Unlike traditional stroke‑play events, every encounter carries postseason implications, as points earned contribute directly to playoff qualification. After the round‑robin phase, the top teams will advance to a knockout stage consisting of single‑elimination semifinals followed by a best‑of‑three finals series to crown the inaugural champion. Aligning the WTGL calendar with the LPGA Tour’s offseason allows players to participate without compromising their individual schedules. This synergy also offers fans a continuous flow of high‑quality golf content during a period that would otherwise be relatively quiet, thereby maintaining engagement and building momentum for the sport.
Beyond the on‑course action, the league is poised to deliver a multimedia experience. Partnerships with streaming platforms such as NOW, as well as traditional broadcasters like Sky Sports, will provide live coverage, behind‑the‑scenes features, and interactive fan elements.
Podcasts, including the Sky Sports Golf Podcast, will offer analysis and commentary, further enriching the narrative surrounding the league. In summary, the WTGL’s five teams bring together a blend of seasoned veterans, rising stars, and international talent, all set to compete in a novel indoor environment that promises fast‑paced, spectator‑friendly golf. With the rosters finalized, the stage is set for new rivalries to emerge, for players to showcase their skills in a team context, and for fans to experience women’s golf in a fresh, exciting format that could reshape the sport’s future.
