The expansion of TGL, focusing on high-tech, will start with one additional team, but we are also considering introducing LPGA stars to the women’s league.
Mike McCurly, CEO of TMRW Sports, who co-founded with TGL partners Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, said the six-team TGL expansion will start with one team and go from there.
Speaking at the CAA World Sports Conference in Nashville, McCurley said there is a lot of interest from potential franchise owners.
Alexis Ohanian, owner of TGL’s Los Angeles golf club and husband of tennis star Serena Williams, is looking for a female golfer to be added.
“I’ve been plaguing these guys about LPGA trading for a minute,” Ohanian said. “They’re very interested. These things just take time.”
McCarley said: “There’s no secret we’re working on that. Alexis was a great thought leader for us, and I think most of our team owners are right behind them in that field.”
