WTGL adds six LPGA players for its inaugural season

Celine Boutier, Andrea Lee, Minjee Lee, Danielle Kang, Megan Khang and Albane Valenzuela are the most recent commitments to the WTGL, which starts play this fall.

The Women's Team Golf League (WTGL) is officially taking shape, and the excitement is building for its debut season this fall at the Sofi Center in Palm Beach Gardens. With six more LPGA stars joining the roster, the league is already looking like a powerhouse of talent.

Joining the WTGL are Celine Boutier, a six-time LPGA Tour winner and major champion; Andrea Lee, ranked No. 24 in the world; Minjee Lee, the No. 7 player globally and a three-time major champion; Danielle Kang, another six-time LPGA Tour winner and major champion; Megan Khang, a Solheim Cup veteran with four appearances; and Albane Valenzuela, a three-time Olympian. These players bring a mix of experience, grit, and championship pedigree that will make for some thrilling team matchups.

These new commitments push the WTGL's roster to 14 players, including five of the top 10 in the world. Collectively, the group represents eight countries, has 92 LPGA Tour victories, and holds 12 major championships. That's a serious level of competition right out of the gate.

"WTGL continues to build momentum as a global platform for LPGA stars and women's team golf," said Pete Jung, Chief Marketing Officer of TMRW Sports. "With today's brand reveal and 14 LPGA Tour players now committed — including major champions, Olympians, and Solheim Cup players from around the world — this milestone underscores the excitement we're seeing from players, team ownership groups, and potential partners as we prepare for WTGL's inaugural season."

The league also unveiled its official logo on May 4 during a reception at the LPGA Tour's Mizuho Americas Open, marking another step toward its fall launch.

On the ownership side, the WTGL has already secured two high-profile groups: Arthur M. Blank and AMB Sports and Entertainment, along with Alexis Ohanian and the Los Angeles Golf Club. Interestingly, both Blank's Atlanta Drive and Ohanian's LA Golf Club have claimed wins in the first two TGL seasons, setting the stage for some friendly rivalry to carry over into the women's league.

With a mix of major champions, Olympians, and rising stars, the WTGL is shaping up to be a must-watch event for golf fans everywhere. Whether you're cheering for your favorite player or just love the team format, this league promises plenty of drama and world-class golf.
