“We’re excited to be a founding team in WTGL at a moment when women’s golf is growing in visibility,” said Cohen. “TGL has been a real success. It’s fast-paced, tech-forward, and competitive. It connects more fans with the sport. We think WTGL can do the same for women’s golf, bringing the game to a broader audience and expanding its reach. We’re proud to build out a world-class women’s team that represents the best of New York.”
“WTGL represents a compelling opportunity at the intersection of sports, media and technology, and we have seen firsthand how TGL’s innovative format resonates with fans and partners,” said Andrew B.
