Women’s professional golf has officially entered a new era, and it all started right here in Palm Beach County.
WTGL, the new team golf league created by TMRW Sports in partnership with the LPGA, made its debut Sunday, November 8, 2026, at SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, with Los Angeles Golf Club defeating New York Golf Club 3–1 in the league’s first-ever match.
The opening matchup featured some of the biggest names in women’s golf, including Michelle Wie West, Lydia Ko, Rose Zhang, and Alison Lee, along with a star-studded audience that included LA Golf Club owners Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian.
Los Angeles Takes the First WTGL Victory
Los Angeles Golf Club’s Michelle Wie West, Alison Lee, and Gaby López made history by securing the league’s inaugural win over New York’s Rose Zhang, Linn Grant, and Lydia Ko.
Los Angeles jumped ahead early and held off several comeback attempts, with Lee delivering key putts to preserve the lead.
One of the afternoon’s biggest moments came on the seventh hole, a new virtual par 3 designed by golf legend Annika Sörenstam. Wie West nearly made a hole-in-one, hitting the flagstick on a hole inspired by a historic Swedish warship.
The match also gave fans a first look at WTGL’s entertainment-focused format, complete with music, a shot clock, team strategy, and players wearing microphones throughout the competition.
A New Home for Women’s Golf in Palm Beach County
WTGL brings 25 professional golfers across five teams to SoFi Center, the 1,500-seat arena on the Palm Beach State College campus in Palm Beach Gardens. Unlike traditional golf tournaments, matches combine simulator technology with real short-game play on a rotating green, creating a faster-paced, two-hour competition. With both TGL and WTGL calling SoFi Center home, Palm Beach Gardens is becoming a major destination for technology-driven professional golf.
What’s Next for WTGL?
The inaugural WTGL season is just getting started, with 10 regular-season matches followed by semifinals and a best-of-three championship series in December. The five inaugural teams are Atlanta Drive GC, Boston Common Golf, Los Angeles Golf Club, Motor City Golf Club and New York Golf Club.
Next up, Los Angeles Golf Club faces Motor City Golf Club on Tuesday, November 10, at 8 PM, with LPGA stars Lexi Thompson and Brooke Henderson making their WTGL debut.
All matches take place at SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, with tickets available through Ticketmaster and broadcasts across ESPN, ESPN2, ABC and ION.
