The Women’s TGL (WTGL) is set to launch its first season on November 8, 2026, at the technologically advanced SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Unlike traditional outdoor golf, WTGL’s format condenses competition into a two-hour, indoor event where professional women golfers compete in team-based matches inside an arena. The venue features a giant simulator screen and a large, mechanized GreenZone with a rotating turntable that alters the green’s topography, allowing for varied hole designs within a compact space. This format is designed to cater to both core golf fans and casual viewers by making the sport more fast-paced, interactive, and viewer-friendly.
WTGL is part of TMRW Sports’ expanding golf ecosystem and represents the first professional women’s golf competition to adopt this high-tech indoor format in the U.S. The matches feature renowned players such as Lydia Ko, Rose Zhang, and Danielle Kang competing in teams like the New York Golf Club and Los Angeles Golf Club. TMRW Sports aims to bring fans closer to the players and the action by using technology to simulate the full golf experience on a scaled-down field, allowing viewers to see every shot live and hear the players’ in-game conversations, thanks to enhanced broadcasting features including multiple cameras, augmented reality, and player microphones.
The innovative technology inside SoFi Center plays a vital role in creating WTGL’s unique experience. The facility’s golf simulator includes an expansive 64-by-53-foot screen paired with optical cameras and radar launch monitors that track every shot’s details. The GreenZone’s 22,475-square-foot surface has 604 actuators beneath it and a massive 124-foot turntable to shift hole layouts dynamically. This setup ensures that golfers experience realistic conditions with real turf, sand, and rough, but in a controlled environment that optimizes both competition and broadcast storytelling. Notably, the technology enables a more intimate and engaging presentation of golf, encouraging fan interaction and viewer immersion.
Beyond the technology and innovative format, WTGL hopes to change how women’s golf is perceived by emphasizing personality, team dynamics, and fan accessibility. Traditional golf’s long, sprawling courses mean players are often distant and hard for audiences to connect with. WTGL’s arena setting brings athletes together, allowing fans to witness more candid moments, player emotions, and strategizing. The partnership with broadcasters ESPN and ION Sports, platforms increasingly supporting women’s sports, further amplifies WTGL’s potential reach. With a 1,500-seat stadium and broadcasts focused on player engagement, WTGL aims to both grow women’s golf’s fanbase and offer a fresh, entertaining alternative to the sport’s usual presentation.
