COMPETITION AND TEAM STRUCTURE:

WTGL features five teams competing in a round-robin regular season where every match carries postseason implications, building to the Playoffs: single-elimination Semifinals and a best-of-three Finals. Like the best team sports, the format is simple to follow — two teams enter, and roughly two hours later, one leaves the winner. Each team is built on a balanced five-player roster, assembled in partnership with team ownership groups, players and their representatives to align with the LPGA Tour and offseason schedules. Three players from each roster compete in every match, putting a premium on strategy and lineup decisions.

WTGL’s competition was purpose-built to showcase the power, precision and strategic decision-making of the world’s best women golfers. LPGA performance data informed the hole distances and design elements, creating a variety of shot shapes and risk-reward decisions. The fast-paced format combines mic’d-up access, strategic use of the Hammer, shot-clock pressure and real-time performance data and analytics, giving fans new insight into the athletes’ talent, personalities and decision-making as teammates. As with other team sports, the objective is simple: Two teams compete head-to-head, and approximately two hours later, one emerges as the winner.
