Nelly Korda Criticizes Lack of Mixed-Gender Format in New Indoor Golf League

Posted : 28 January 2026

World number two Nelly Korda has voiced her disappointment over the decision not to combine men and women in the new indoor virtual golf league, calling it “an unbelievable miss.” The announcement comes after the launch of the WTGL, a women’s team matchplay competition held at the same Florida venue as the men’s TGL, which is currently in the middle of its second season.

The WTGL will feature some of the world’s top female golfers competing in a season of team matchplay at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens. While Korda welcomed the new opportunity for women, she suggested that staging the men’s and women’s events separately was a missed chance to revolutionize the sport.

The indoor golf format features teams hitting shots at a five-storey-high simulator screen before moving to a short-game area with bunkers and a 360-degree rotating green, creating varied hole-to-hole challenges.

Regarding a potential mixed-gender event, Mike McCarley, founder of the TGL alongside McIlroy and Woods, said the idea had been considered. “I think that is something that's interesting to us and is interesting to the LPGA and a lot of the players we're talking to,” he explained. “Right now, we're really focused on building the TGL and providing a platform to showcase the players and their personalities.”

Korda, 27, has yet to confirm her participation in the WTGL, noting that she is still evaluating the time commitment required. Other confirmed competitors include world number one Jeeno Thitikul and British players Charley Hull and Lottie Woad.

The men’s TGL saw Atlanta Drive defeat New York GC 4-3 last year to claim the first title, sharing a prize pot of £10.39 million between the finalists. This season began on 28 December, with the best-of-three final scheduled for 23 March. Details regarding the start date and prize fund for the women’s league are yet to be announced, although it is expected to take place during winter 2026–27.
