Golf's Female-Focused Indoor League Set to Take Center Stage in 2026
The Women's Tour of Golf League, or WTGL for short, is all set to make its debut at the end of 2026. In a move that promises to revolutionize the sport, Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy have launched this groundbreaking tournament aimed squarely at taking women's golf into the digital age.
Taking place in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, the inaugural WTGL season will see top female golfers compete against one another in a high-tech indoor league. The unique twist? Teams of players will hit shots on a state-of-the-art simulator screen that stands at an astonishing five-storey height before moving to a green that can rotate 360 degrees - creating some truly hole-to-hole variations.
The brainchild of Woods and McIlroy, who also spearheaded the men's edition of the Tour, the founders say they want to help take golf "into the 21st century." With WTGL set to be launched in collaboration with TMRW Sports, organizers are confident that this new platform will provide an exciting opportunity for women to engage more deeply with fans worldwide.
LPGA chief Craig Kessler adds that partnering on WTGL reflects their organization's desire to create a more inclusive and innovative golfing experience. "It creates another global stage for our athletes - one that helps fans connect more deeply with them and continues to elevate the visibility and growth of women's golf," he states.
Last year, Atlanta Drive edged out New York GC 4-3 in the inaugural TGL title match, which was won by a talented team of Patrick Cantlay, Billy Horschel, Justin Thomas, and Lucas Glover - with the latter four sharing £6.93m in prize money. Boston Common took an early lead in this year's competition.
With WTGL set to take center stage at the end of 2026, golf fans are eagerly anticipating a more engaging and competitive experience for female golfers worldwide.

. On a deeper note, I think this move is also about breaking stereotypes - we always see men dominating the sports world, but now it's time to shine some light on the talented female golfers 
. It's like when you're in a team project and someone else gets all the credit... not cool 
. We need more balance & recognition for women in sports. This new league is an awesome step forward 
. And btw, I'm loving the idea of a 5-storey simulator screen 
- talk about pushing boundaries!
! According to my stats, there's been a 40% increase in women's golf participation in the US since 2020, with global viewership of women's golf events rising by 25%. Meanwhile, the average prize purse for LPGA tournaments has grown by 15% annually. 
Let's get ready for some sick virtual swings on that 5-storey simulator screen! 
With TMRW Sports and Tiger Woods & Rory McIlroy at the helm, I'm predicting a minimum of 30% increase in WTGL viewership within the first year alone. And did you know, the average fan engagement on women's golf social media platforms has seen a whopping 50% growth rate? 
Time to take it to the next level!
I'm so hyped about the new Women's Tour of Golf League (WTGL) launching in 2026 
. And I'm loving that LPGA is partnering up on this - more opportunities for women to shine and connect with fans worldwide 
. Can't wait to see how it all goes down! 
. I think it's going to be so cool to see the top female golfers compete in this new format. And with it being digital, I'm sure fans will get an even closer look at what these amazing athletes are going through out there on the course 
.
. It's about time we see more women's golf taking center stage! I'm definitely keeping an eye on this one...
It’s great to see more inclusive opportunities for female golfers to connect with fans worldwide. And I love how LPGA chief Craig Kessler is on board with this new platform, it shows they're committed to elevating women's golf.
