WTGL announces first commitments, list includes Lexi Thompson, Lydia Ko, and Charley Hull

WTGL announces first commitments, list includes Lexi Thompson, Lydia Ko, and Charley Hull

We officially have names to look forward to with WTGL.

TMRW Sports announced the first group of commitments from LPGA Tour players on Monday and there are some heavy hitters that will be a part of the action in 2026-2027:

To say this list is loaded is quite the understatement.

Thitikul is the current top player in the world. Hull has multiple wins on Tour and has been on 7 European Solheim Cup teams.

Ko is a former number one in her own right and is literally an LPGA Hall of Famer. Henderson holds two major champions to her name. Thompson, who helped announce the formation of the WTGL, has double-digit wins on Tour, a major, has also made 7 Solheim Cup appearances, and she has been to multiple Olympics.

WTGL is a women’s version of the popular TGL league that is currently in its second season in play. Viewers can expect it to fully begin next season, so to speak, and it would appear that they are preparing for it to be just as successful as TGL.

Deadspin | Max Homa hoping to finally carry over Masters success to RBC Heritage  Apr 9, 2026; Augusta, Georgia, USA; Max Homa plays his shot from the fifth tee during the first round of the Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club. Mandatory Credit: Bill Streicher-Imagn Images   Max Homa has found quite a bit of success the last three years at the Masters.  Carrying that over to the RBC Heritage the following week has surprisingly proven a tough challenge.  Homa, coming off his third straight result among the top 12 at Augusta National, will look to follow that up with his first top-50 finish since 2020 at Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head Island, S.C.  “(Harbour Town) should fit my game really well,” Homa said. “Unfortunately I haven’t played too well here, so hopefully this is the year.”  After tying for third at the 2024 Masters, Homa followed with a tie for 55th in the RBC Heritage, a signature event. He followed a tie for 12th last year in Augusta by finishing in 70th out of 72 competitors at the RBC.  Homa tied for ninth in this season’s first major, and he seems aware of why his success at Augusta National hasn’t carried over to Hilton Head.  It’s a common refrain heard about the tournament immediately after the Masters, and why a number of competitors often skip the event.  “That mental toll (the Masters) takes on you is pretty draining,” Homa said. “It is crazy how majors just feel like two weeks on you. Augusta is one of the few physical tests we have in golf. It’s quite a bear to walk and prep for.”   Complicating matters for Homa is the fact that his wife and two children under 4 — including one born last August — are with him for the road trip.  “It’s definitely interesting how tired I am. Now, granted, I do have two children, and one of them chose not to sleep last night, so it’s taking me longer to get back into, I guess, a fiery mode,” Homa quipped. ” … I would say by (Thursday) I’m sure my energy will be back and I’ll be ready to compete.”  Sleep deprived or not, Homa seems to have found something of late after a rocky 2025 season. He wound up last year 111th in the FedEx Cup standings, a far cry from the consecutive top-10 finishes he had in 2022 and 2023.  With a top-15 finish at the Cognizant Classic and three other top-40 finishes in addition to another strong Masters showing, Homa has rebounded early this season, sitting in 50th in the FedEx Cup rankings entering this week’s event.  He credits a return to working with coach Mark Blackburn as what has helped him trend once more in a positive direction.  “I went back to him in, I think, October, and we obviously put a lot of work in in the offseason, and he’s just been amazing,” Homa said of Blackburn. “We communicate so well. He seems very in tune with what makes me tick.”  –Field Level Media   #Deadspin #Max #Homa #hoping #finally #carry #Masters #success #RBC #HeritageApr 9, 2026; Augusta, Georgia, USA; Max Homa plays his shot from the fifth tee during the first round of the Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club.

Max Homa has found quite a bit of success the last three years at the Masters.

Carrying that over to the RBC Heritage the following week has surprisingly proven a tough challenge.

Homa, coming off his third straight result among the top 12 at Augusta National, will look to follow that up with his first top-50 finish since 2020 at Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head Island, S.C.

“(Harbour Town) should fit my game really well,” Homa said. “Unfortunately I haven’t played too well here, so hopefully this is the year.”

Deadspin | Nico Hoerner drives in 5 as Cubs blitz Phillies to win series  Apr 15, 2026; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA; Chicago Cubs infielder Matt Shaw (42) advances home to score against the Philadelphia Phillies in the third inning at Citizens Bank Park. Mandatory Credit: Kyle Ross-Imagn Images   Nico Hoerner had a career-high five RBIs and Shota Imanaga matched a personal best with 11 strikeouts, lifting the visiting Chicago Cubs to an 11-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday.  Hoerner hit an RBI single in the third inning and later scored on a throwing error. He belted a two-run homer in the fifth and ripped a two-run single in the sixth, giving him 19 hits and 16 RBIs in 13 games this month.  Matt Shaw ripped a two-run double and Dansby Swanson launched a solo homer to highlight their respective three-hit performances.  The Cubs finished with 15 hits to win the decisive contest of the three-game series and record a second straight victory for just the second time this season. Chicago has totaled 35 runs on 51 hits over the past four games.  The power surge was more than enough for Imanaga (1-1), who overcame a leadoff homer by Trea Turner to shut down the Phillies. The left-hander allowed one run on three hits and one walk before exiting after six innings. He threw 97 pitches, 67 of them strikes.  Bryce Harper belted a solo homer in the ninth inning for Philadelphia, which mustered just five hits en route to losing for the sixth time in the past eight games.   Turner deposited a 0-1 fastball from Imanaga over the wall in center field to open the scoring.  Hoerner leveled the contest in the third with an RBI single to center field, driving in Shaw, who had doubled. Hoerner advanced to second base on a walk and came around to score after Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto’s attempted throw to third base sailed into left field.  Alex Bregman moved to third on the miscue and scored after Jesus Luzardo (1-3) uncorked a wild pitch, staking Chicago to a 3-1 lead.  In the fifth, Hoerner doubled the advantage by sending a first-pitch fastball over the wall in center field for a two-run homer.  Shaw’s two-run double in the sixth inning drove Luzardo from the game, and Hoerner’s two-run single closed the book on the pitcher. Luzardo permitted nine runs (eight earned) on in 5 1/3 innings. He yielded a career-high-tying 12 hits while fanning four and walking one.  –Field Level Media    #Deadspin #Nico #Hoerner #drives #Cubs #blitz #Phillies #win #seriesApr 15, 2026; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA; Chicago Cubs infielder Matt Shaw (42) advances home to score against the Philadelphia Phillies in the third inning at Citizens Bank Park.
