Women's Indoor Golf League Takes Center Stage
The LPGA Tour is making waves with the introduction of WTGL, a new indoor golf league. This league will operate separately but similarly to the tech-driven TGL league. Matches will be held at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, though details like the number of teams and their locations are still under consideration.
A Vision for Growth
Craig Kessler, the LPGA Commissioner, is enthusiastic about this new venture. He believes WTGL will help expand the fan base and increase visibility for women's golf. The league will primarily run during the LPGA's offseason, from November to January, potentially overlapping with the TGL schedule.
Modernizing Golf
TMRW Sports, the organization behind TGL, is equally excited. They view WTGL as a way to modernize golf and attract a younger audience. The inaugural TGL season drew a crowd with a median age second only to the NBA, suggesting WTGL could also resonate with a new generation of fans.
