The LPGA Tour is stepping into the spotlight with a new indoor golf league. This league, called WTGL, will be a separate but similar version of the tech-savvy TGL league. The matches will take place at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. However, the specifics, like the number of teams and their locations, are still being figured out.

Craig Kessler, the LPGA Commissioner, is excited about this new venture. He believes it will help grow the fan base and increase visibility for the women's game. The WTGL will primarily run during the LPGA's offseason, which is from November to January. This could mean some overlap with the TGL schedule.

TMRW Sports, the group behind TGL, is also thrilled about WTGL. They see it as a way to modernize golf and attract a younger audience. The inaugural season of TGL drew a younger crowd, second only to the NBA in median age. This gives hope that WTGL could also appeal to a new generation of fans.

Meanwhile, Rory McIlroy has been vocal about his views on LIV golfers returning to the PGA Tour. He believes it could strengthen the tour and is open to the idea of Brooks Koepka joining TGL. However, he acknowledges that the final decision is not up to him.

On a different note, Matt Kuchar has decided not to use his one-time exemption for being in the top 25 on the PGA Tour career money list. He plans to use it later in his career when he turns 49 and 50. Vijay Singh, on the other hand, has signed up for a career-money exemption and will be playing in the Sony Open.

Trevor Immelman, a former Masters champion, shared his memorable experiences leading up to his first Masters. He watched Jack Nicklaus win in 1986 and later hosted Ian Woosnam, a former Masters champion, at his home. These experiences helped him understand the game and the course better.

In other news, Dustin Johnson's exemptions for the Masters and U. S. Open will end in 2026. Xander Schauffele's impressive cut streak on the PGA Tour continues, with 72 tournaments without a miss. Interestingly, South America and South Africa are the only continents without any players in the top 50 world rankings.
