TGL Rumors: Tiger Woods' Virtual Golf League to Launch Women's League
@Source: newsweek.com
It has been a month since we heard any TGL (Tomorrow Golf League) news. The Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy founded league had its inaugural season wrap up on March 25th, where Justin Thomas's team, Atlanta Drive, claimed victory and earned $9M for themselves.The first season was a resounding success, drawing in a star-studded crowd, with celebrities like DJ Khaled and Celine Dion in attendance, showering the league with love.The list wasn't limited to just fans and celebrities, though! PGA Tour members and LPGA pros, including the World No. 1, Nelly Korda and Rose Zhang, were spotted hammering their support.Interestingly, Zhang, an investor in the Bay Area Golf Club, was also spotted advocating for female golfers' participation in the event along with Arthur Blank."Potentially, there will be gals involved" in the format, Blank said at one of the TGL's events. And it appears like there is serious traction.According to the Sports Business Journal, in a conversation with the CAA World Congress of Sports, TMRW Sports co-founder and CEO Mike McCarley revealed some key information regarding TGL's future plans."Nothing has been finalized, but progress has been made on both fronts," McCarley said referencing the addition of a team and a women's specific league.He further expressed that the first step in expansion will be to "start with one [new team] and then it'll grow from there."Meanwhile, Alexis Ohanian, owner of the LA Golf Club, chimed in, sharing that he has been "bugging these guys about the LPGA deal for a minute."The Seven Seven Six founder added, "They have been very interested. It's just these things take time, and I'm not allowed to make any news." McCarley backed Ohanian's statement, further expressing:"There's no secret we're working on that. Alexis has been a great thought leader for us on that, and I think most of our team owners are right behind them in that area, too."Although there's no concrete evidence on whether the TGL has started working on the LPGA deal, the team seems open to expanding it for Nelly Korda and other LPGA players.Adding to the excitement, rumors are circulating that Dallas might be the next city to join the TGL family, with new team owners potentially shelling out around $77 million if the deal goes through.More Golf: PGA Tour Ratings Spike Rarely Seen This Century amid Justin Thomas' Win
