WTGL announces new player signings and unveils brand identity

Celine Boutier, Danielle Kang, Megan Khang, Andrea Lee, Minjee Lee and Albane Valenzuela join LPGA stars committed to new women’s indoor team pro series

TMRW Sports has announced commitments from six more LPGA Tour stars, and unveiled the brand identity for WTGL, a new women’s team golf platform created in partnership with the Ladies Professional Golf Association. 

WTGL will launch its inaugural season later this year at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. 

The newly announced players include six-time LPGA Tour winner and major champion Celine Boutier; world no.24 Andrea Lee; three-time major champion Minjee Lee; six-time LPGA Tour winner and major champion Danielle Kang; LPGA Tour winner and four-time Solheim Cup player Megan Khang, and Switzerland’s Albane Valenzuela, who has represented her country three times at the Olympic Games. 

The additions bring WTGL’s current roster of committed players to 14, including five of the top 10 players in the world. Collectively, the group represents eight countries, 92 LPGA Tour victories and 12 major championships.

“WTGL continues to build momentum as a global platform for LPGA stars and women’s team golf,” said Pete Jung, Chief Marketing Officer of TMRW Sports. “With today’s brand reveal and 14 LPGA Tour players now committed, this milestone underscores the excitement we’re seeing from players, team ownership groups and potential partners as we prepare for WTGL’s inaugural season.” 

WTGL’s logo was unveiled at a reception for WTGL players held on Monday at the LPGA Tour’s Mizuho Americas Open. WTGL previously announced Arthur Blank and AMB Sports and Entertainment and Alexis Ohanian with Los Angeles Golf Club as WTGL’s first two ownership groups and Alex Morgan’s Trybe Ventures as the league’s lead capital partner.

Founded by Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and sports executive Mike McCarley, TMRW Sports is supported by a diverse investor group of athletes, celebrities and business leaders from the worlds of sports, media, technology and finance.

Additional details, including team ownership groups, rosters, media partners and sponsors will be announced in the coming months at WTGLGolf.com.
