Orlando, Fla. (Jan. 27, 2026) – TMRW Sports announced two more committed LPGA Tour players for WTGL, a new platform for team golf in partnership with the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA), with the addition of rising stars Lottie Woad (England, World No. 11) and Rose Zhang (United States, World No. 66). Woad and Zhang both won their professional debuts, are former World No. 1 amateurs, and Augusta National Women’s Amateur champions.

Additionally in the field are WTGL commits Brooke Henderson, Charley Hull, Lydia Ko, and Jeeno Thitikul.

“The response to WTGL since our launch has been incredibly encouraging, particularly in the level of interest and commitment we’re seeing from players across the LPGA Tour,” said Liz Moore, Chief Media, Strategy and Legal Officer. “Having Lottie and Rose join this growing group — and seeing so many WTGL players competing this week at the LPGA Tour’s season-opening Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions — reinforces our belief that WTGL will complement the LPGA in a meaningful way and create new opportunities to showcase the incredible talent, personalities and competitiveness of our athletes.”
