The Women's TGL has officially announced the full line‑ups for its five inaugural teams, setting the stage for a groundbreaking season that kicks off in November. This new venture, the brainchild of golf legends Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy through their TMRW Sports venture, follows the successful launch of the men's TGL in 2025 and the partnership with the LPGA earlier this year. A total of 25 elite players, featuring well‑known names such as Charley Hull and Jeeno Thitikul, have been allocated into five squads, each comprising five athletes. These five teams collectively bring an impressive résumé to the competition.
Between them they have logged 48 Solheim Cup appearances, with eight of those players already earmarked for the 2026 Solheim Cup roster. The group also boasts 15 major championship victories, underscoring the high caliber of talent on display. In addition, the athletes have represented their nations at the Olympic Games on 28 occasions, spanning 13 different countries, which highlights the global reach and diversity of the league.
The rosters are as follows: **Atlanta Drive** – Nataliya Guseva, Charley Hull, Andrea Lee, Minjee Lee, and Yuka Saso. This squad blends seasoned veterans with rising stars, offering a mix of power, precision, and strategic acumen. **Boston Common Golf** – Céline Boutier, Chizzy Iwai, Megan Khang, Lottie Woad, and Ina Yoon. Boston’s lineup features a strong international presence and a balance of aggressive play and steady consistency.
**Los Angeles Golf Club** – Aki Iwai, Alison Lee, Gaby Lopez, Kiara Romero, and Michelle Wie West. With a blend of experience and youthful vigor, this team is poised to bring excitement to the West Coast fan base. **Motor City Golf Club** – Brooke M. Henderson, Jeeno Thitikul, Lexi Thompson, Ruoning "Ronni" Yin, and Albane Valenzuela.
The Motor City roster includes several players who have already made a mark on the LPGA Tour and international competitions. **New York Golf Club** – Linn Grant, Danielle Kang, Lydia Ko, Yana Wilson, and Rose Zhang. New York’s contingent is stacked with former major champions and emerging talent, promising high‑stakes match play. All five teams will compete at the purpose‑built, climate‑controlled indoor arena known as the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
This venue, originally constructed for the men’s TGL, offers a cutting‑edge playing surface and a fan‑centric atmosphere that aims to redefine how spectators experience golf. By housing the competition indoors, the league eliminates weather variables, ensuring that each match is decided solely by skill and strategy. Rufus Hack, president of golf at TMRW Sports, emphasized the league’s ambition: "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 traditional round‑robin schedule during the regular season, where each match carries weight for postseason qualification. Every team will face each of the other four squads, and every result will influence the standings heading into the playoffs.
The postseason will consist of single‑elimination semi‑finals followed by a best‑of‑three championship series, delivering high‑intensity drama and a clear path to the title. Beyond the on‑course action, the WTGL aims to integrate seamlessly with the broader LPGA Tour calendar. By aligning its schedule with the LPGA’s offseason, the league provides players with a competitive outlet during a period that would otherwise be a lull, while also offering fans continuous golf content year‑round.
This alignment also opens opportunities for cross‑promotion, media partnerships, and fan engagement initiatives that can boost the profile of women’s golf globally. The league’s launch comes at a pivotal moment for the sport, as interest in team‑based formats continues to rise. The success of events like the Solheim Cup and the Presidents Cup has demonstrated that fans are eager for narratives that go beyond individual rivalries. WTGL seeks to capture that enthusiasm by fostering team identities, encouraging camaraderie among players, and delivering a fast‑paced, visually engaging product that can attract both traditional golf enthusiasts and newer audiences.
For viewers, the league will be accessible through streaming platforms, including the NOW service, and will be complemented by additional content such as podcasts and live analysis on Sky Sports Golf. These media partnerships are designed to provide comprehensive coverage, from in‑depth player interviews to strategic breakdowns of each match. In summary, the unveiling of the five star‑studded teams marks the beginning of an exciting chapter for women’s golf.
With a blend of seasoned champions, rising talents, and a state‑of‑the‑art indoor venue, the WTGL promises to deliver compelling competition, foster new rivalries, and elevate the visibility of the sport on a global stage.
