Just play, we\u2019ll handle the rest<\/p>\nCanada’s Brooke Henderson is set to play for Detroit.<\/p>\n
Henderson is joining the Motor City Golf Club for the inaugural WTGL season as all five rosters were unveiled Monday.<\/p>\n
WTGL, announced in January as a follow to the Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy co-founded tech-infused golf platform which is entering its third season in 2027, is set to begin its first campaign after the LPGA Tour season wraps up in November.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Henderson will be joined by world No. 2 Jeeno Thitikul, Swiss Olympian Albane Valenzuela, American star Lexi Thompson, and former world No. 1 \u2014 and winner of Sunday\u2019s FM Championship \u2014 Ruoning Yin on the Detroit-based Motor City Golf Club, the newest TGL franchise.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There will be five teams in all.<\/p>\n
Henderson, who is ranked 11th in the world, was one of the first five golfers announced as part of WTGL earlier this year. She hasn\u2019t had too many chances to play team golf as a professional \u2014 although she was a member of the World Team at the International Crown competition last fall \u2014 and told Sportsnet.ca in January this is set to be a unique opportunity.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m really looking forward to WTGL having a new audience and a bigger range of viewers and fans who can see the personalities and the talent of the LPGA Tour,\u201d Henderson said.<\/p>\n
Henderson will be the second Canadian to compete in the SoFi Center after Corey Conners filled in as part of Atlanta Drive GC in December.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Motor City Golf Club, which was announced in May 2025 as TGL\u2019s first expansion team, announced last week that its first male team member is Brooks Koepka.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The team\u2019s ownership group is led by Middle West Partners principals Michael Hamp, Peter Hamp and Kevin Kelleher, all of whom have Detroit roots.<\/p>\n
The other four teams in WTGL are also owned by the same ownership groups as on the men\u2019s side with Atlanta, Boston Common Golf, Los Angeles Golf Club and New York Golf Club.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Boston Common Golf Club roster reveal occurred last week at the FM Championship, which took place at TPC Boston.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWTGL will combine teams of world-class LPGA Tour stars with the energy of fans inside SoFi Center to create a thrilling new experience for women\u2019s golf,\u201d TMRW Sports president Rufus Hack said in a press release. \u201cThe five teams will go head-to-head throughout November and December, creating a consistent spotlight for women\u2019s team golf and giving fans a new way to see the players\u2019 personalities, competitive instincts and decision-making as teammates. With the rosters now set, the teams\u2019 identities and rivalries can begin to take shape.\u201d<\/p>\n
