The Women’s Golf League (WTGL) unveiled its inaugural schedule on Thursday, confirming that the league’s first matches will begin on Nov. 8 at the SoFi Center on the campus of Palm Beach State College in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
Season format and broadcast partners
WTGL will field five teams composed of top LPGA players who will compete in a team‑match format. The regular season consists of ten matches, after which the league will move into playoffs and a championship series slated for Dec. 22‑23. All games will be broadcast nationally on ESPN, ABC and ION, with additional local coverage on WPBF 25.
Ticket information for fans
Fans can secure presale tickets starting Sept. 18, with general public sales opening on Sept. 21. The league is promoting the schedule as an opportunity for South Florida residents to see the sport’s biggest stars in a new, team‑oriented setting.
Connection to the existing TGL
WTGL serves as the women’s counterpart to the technology‑focused golf league TGL, which was founded by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy. By adopting a similar venue and format, WTGL aims to bring high‑profile women’s golf to Palm Beach Gardens while showcasing the sport’s talent in a fresh, fan‑friendly environment.
Local impact
League officials highlighted the economic boost the season is expected to bring to the area, citing increased tourism, hospitality revenue and job opportunities tied to event staffing and venue operations. The SoFi Center, already a hub for college athletics, will host the league’s matches, providing a state‑of‑the‑art facility for both players and spectators.
Community leaders expressed enthusiasm for the league’s commitment to the region, noting that the partnership aligns with Palm Beach Gardens’ ongoing efforts to position the city as a destination for major sporting events.
Looking ahead
WTGL’s leadership indicated that the league plans to expand its footprint in future seasons, potentially adding more teams and exploring additional venues across the country. For now, the focus remains on delivering a successful debut season that highlights the skill and competitiveness of women’s professional golf.
