Atlanta and Orlando, Fla. (Feb. 2, 2026)
Big news for women's golf! TMRW Sports has announced Arthur M. Blank as the very first team owner for WTGL, the exciting new women's team golf platform created in partnership with the LPGA. His team will represent Atlanta, and I am here for it! 🙌
WTGL is gearing up for a winter 2026-27 launch and will feature fast-paced team match play at the custom-built SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. This is going to be something special.
Blank's WTGL Atlanta team will be operated by AMB Sports and Entertainment, joining an absolutely stacked sports portfolio that includes Atlanta Drive GC (the defending TGL champions!), the Atlanta Falcons, Atlanta United FC, NWSL Atlanta 2028, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and PGA TOUR Superstore. Talk about a sports empire! 👏
"We are thrilled to partner with TMRW Sports to be a founding owner in WTGL," said Blank. "The growth of women's sports over the past few years has been remarkable, and as we have seen through our other golf properties, women and girls are participating in the game at a higher rate than ever before. We are excited to provide a platform for the top golfers in the women's game to showcase their talent and personalities while competing for championships for Atlanta. Atlanta Drive GC has established itself as a premier team in TGL, winning the inaugural SoFi Cup, and we aim to replicate that success with our WTGL team beginning this upcoming winter."
Mike McCarley, founder and CEO of TMRW Sports, shared his excitement about bringing Blank on board: "As WTGL begins to take shape, adding sports leaders like Arthur Blank and the experienced team at AMB Sports and Entertainment is another substantive step toward building a premier platform for women's team golf. Partners like Arthur Blank recognize the opportunity women's sports represents in the modern landscape and specifically the growth opportunity for women's golf. WTGL's fast-paced, team golf format will appeal to the modern sports audience and drive engagement between the LPGA Tour stars competing and a broader spectrum of new fans."

What Makes WTGL Special
WTGL will feature all the elements that have made TGL such a hit: mic'd moments, risk-reward team decisions, and yes, throwing the Hammer! 🔨 The tech-driven platform will deliver comprehensive shot performance data and statistics-based analytics built seamlessly into the competition.
TGL presented by SoFi has already been described as a "high-energy arena spectacle" by Vanity Fair, "pure entertainment" by GQ, and "golf's boldest new venture" by Fast Company. WTGL is building on that foundation with Alex Morgan's Trybe Ventures as the lead capital partner.
More details on players, team ownership groups, and sponsors will be announced in the coming months. For more information, visit WTGLGolf.com.
This is a huge moment for women's golf, and I am so excited to see how WTGL elevates the game and showcases these incredible athletes! 💪⛳
