Women’s Golf: Indoor League Launched
By Prof Dr Ian Blackshaw
It has been reported that the first women's edition of the indoor golf league (TGL), which was founded by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, will take place at the end of this year.
The inaugural men's TGL season was held in 2025, with Woods and McIlroy stating that they wanted to help take golf "into the 21st century".
The world's best women golfers will compete in a season of team matchplay in the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, United States.
In the new WTGL, teams of women players will hit shots at a five-storey-high simulator screen before moving to a green that can rotate 360 degrees, creating hole-to-hole variations.
The Ladies Professional Golf Association head, Craig Kessler, stated that:
"Partnering with [TGL organisers] TMRW Sports on WTGL reflects our belief that innovation can help the game reach new fans and create greater visibility for LPGA athletes."
And he added that:
"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."
