Orlando, Fla. (Jan. 15, 2026)

Okay, this is MAJOR news for women's golf! 🙌 TMRW Sports just announced that Trybe Ventures is stepping up as the lead capital partner in WTGL, and I am absolutely here for it. For those who do not know, WTGL is a brand new platform for team golf created in partnership with the LPGA that will showcase the best women golfers on the planet.

Trybe Ventures, which was co-founded by soccer legend Alex Morgan, has assembled an absolutely stacked investment group. We are talking business powerhouses like Linnea Roberts, Jenny Just, Susan Lyne, Jen Mackesy, and Ellie Rubenstein, plus fellow U.S. soccer icons Mia Hamm and Abby Wambach. Talk about a dream team! 💪

The league is set to launch in winter 2026-27 and will feature teams of LPGA Tour stars competing in fast-paced, team match play from the custom-built SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

"I am so proud to bring this amazing group of women together to support and accelerate the growth of women's golf. We all love the game and look forward to working together with TMRW Sports and the LPGA to build this innovative new property to showcase the best players in the world," said Morgan, co-founder and managing partner of Trybe Ventures.
