Women's TGL Launch

TMRW Sports and the LPGA have partnered on the WTGL, with chief marketing officer Pete Jung saying the brand reveal is attracting owners.

The logo was shown to WTGL players at the Mizuho Americas Open in New Jersey on Monday.

History

Historical Context

In 1950 the Ladies Professional Golf Association was incorporated, with 13 founders such as Babe Zaharias and Patty Berg, launching the first Tampa Women’s Open tournament. The LPGA grew into the United States’ oldest women’s professional sports body, later adding the Epson developmental tour. TMRW Sports’ new WTGL, signing stars like Minjee Lee, seeks to echo that pioneering expansion.
