Korea’s Ina Yoon will be amongst a star-studded cast to feature in the WTGL, the new women’s team golf league created by TMRW Sports in partnership with the LPGA, as the complete rosters for its five inaugural teams, Atlanta Drive GC, Boston Common Golf, Los Angeles Golf Club, Motor City Golf Club and New York Golf Club, were announced today.

The rosters bring together 25 dynamic and talented players that include World Golf Hall of Fame members, major champions, Solheim Cup winners, legends of the game and young up-and-coming stars who are ready to showcase women’s team golf and bring new fans to the game. The five teams will begin competition in November at the custom-built, tech-infused SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.

Fans can get a closer look at the players, teams and storylines shaping the inaugural season during a special roster reveal show premiering today on YouTube.

The 23-year-old Yoon, who finished in the top-five at the Chevron Championship and Women’s PGA Championship this season, will represent Boston Common Golf alongside World No. 6 Lottie Woad (England), Megan Khang (United States), seven-time LPGA Tour winner Céline Boutier (France) and Chizzy Iwai (Japan).

Yoon said: “Screen golf is a big part of golf culture in Korea, and it is also where my own golf story began. I first became interested in golf when I went to an indoor screen golf facility with my father. SoFi Center is unlike any other screen in the world. Competing in the inaugural season of WTGL now feels like a full-circle moment, and I am excited to share it with fans in Korea and around the world.”

On representing Boston Common Golf, she added: “I had such a great time at Fenway Park last year for my first Major League Baseball game that I have been cheering for the Red Sox ever since. That makes joining Boston Common Golf especially exciting. Lottie, Megan, Celine and Chizzy are all outstanding players, and I am looking forward to bringing our different strengths together as a team.”

Rufus Hack, president, golf at TMRW Sports, said: “WTGL will combine teams of world-class LPGA Tour stars with the energy of fans inside SoFi Center to create a thrilling new experience for women’s golf. The five teams will go head-to-head throughout November and December, creating a consistent spotlight for women’s team golf and giving fans a new way to see the players’ personalities, competitive instincts and decision-making as teammates. With the rosters now set, the teams’ identities and rivalries can begin to take shape.”

The 25 players announced for WTGL have a combined 112 LPGA Tour victories and 15 major championships and includes eight of the top 15 players in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings.

Aside from Yoon, seven other golf stars from the Asia-Pacific region have committed to the WTGL: Jeeno Thitikul (Thailand), Chizzy Iwai (Japan), Aki Iwai (Japan), Lydia Ko (New Zealand), Minjee Lee (Australia), Yuka Saso (Japan) and Ruoning Yin (China).

COMPETITION AND TEAM STRUCTURE:

WTGL features five teams competing in a round-robin regular season where every match carries postseason implications, building to the Playoffs: single-elimination Semifinals and a best-of-three Finals. Like the best team sports, the format is simple to follow — two teams enter, and roughly two hours later, one leaves the winner. Each team is built on a balanced five-player roster, assembled in partnership with team ownership groups, players and their representatives to align with the LPGA Tour and offseason schedules. Three players from each roster compete in every match, putting a premium on strategy and lineup decisions.

WTGL’s competition was purpose-built to showcase the power, precision and strategic decision-making of the world’s best women golfers. LPGA performance data informed the hole distances and design elements, creating a variety of shot shapes and risk-reward decisions. The fast-paced format combines mic’d-up access, strategic use of the Hammer, shot-clock pressure and real-time performance data and analytics, giving fans new insight into the athletes’ talent, personalities and decision-making as teammates. As with other team sports, the objective is simple: Two teams compete head-to-head, and approximately two hours later, one emerges as the winner.

SELECTED PLAYERS’ QUOTES

Jeeno Thitikul (Thailand)

“I’m very excited to be part of the inaugural season of WTGL. The team format, fast pace and technology can introduce golf to a new generation of fans while giving them a fresh way to see our personalities. I love the mix of talent and personalities on our team. I’m especially excited to play with Ruoning again. We won a team event together in Michigan in 2024, so we already know how to have fun and compete together.”

Ruoning Yin (China)

“WTGL is a great opportunity for me and for women’s golf. I have always enjoyed team competition, and this format will give us a fun way to showcase our games and personalities while introducing new fans to the sport.”

On Motor City Golf Club: “I have great memories of winning in Michigan with Jeeno in 2024, and now we get to be teammates again with Motor City Golf Club. Jeeno, Lexi, Brooke and Albane are all great players and people I enjoy being around. I think we will have a lot of fun together, and I can’t wait for the season.”

Yuka Saso (Japan)

“Rory McIlroy has been one of my favourite players for a long time, so I followed what he helped create with TGL. I am excited that WTGL will now give LPGA players the opportunity to compete in that environment and bring our own personalities and style to the format. Atlanta Drive GC has already shown how strong a team can be when players with different styles work together. Charley, Nataliya, Andrea and Minjee are all great competitors, and I am excited to learn from them, support them and compete for Atlanta.”
