The Women's TGL launches as the tech-infused sister league to the men's Tomorrow's Golf League, founded by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy's TMRW Sports in partnership with the PGA Tour. The inaugural season features five LPGA Tour teams of five players each, representing different cities, competing at the SoFi Center in Florida from November through December. Every match is broadcast exclusively on Sky Sports, with all players mic'd up for the made-for-TV experience.
Matches take place in a purpose-built indoor venue combining virtual and real golf. Players hit into a Full Swing simulator with real grass, fairway, rough and sand. The field is nearly 100 yards long and 50 yards wide, accommodating around 1,500 spectators. Unique features include a 41-yard rotating green turntable and virtual holes transitioning to real-time shots.
The match format consists of 15 holes per game divided into two sessions: nine holes of triples (three-versus-three alternate shot) and six holes of head-to-head singles. Each player competes in two singles matches. The scoring system introduces 'The Hammer,' which triples a hole's value, with each team receiving three per match. Overtime decides ties via a closest-to-the-pin competition.
Sky Sports holds exclusive broadcast rights for the 2026 and 2027 seasons across Sky Sports Golf, Sky Sports+, and Sky Sports Mix. The app provides additional news, highlights and scores. This innovative league marks the expansion of women's professional golf through cutting-edge technology and team competition.
