Former U.S. women’s national soccer team star Alex Morgan’s Trybe Ventures will be the lead capital partner for WTGL, which is set to debut in the winter of 2026–27.

WTGL, the newly announced women’s indoor team golf league, will launch with a strong list of high-profile female investors across sports and entertainment.

Former U.S. women’s national soccer team star Alex Morgan’s Trybe Ventures will be the lead capital partner for WTGL, which is set to debut in the winter of 2026–27. 

“I really do think women’s golf has this massive opportunity to just blow up in the way that—over the last few years—we’ve seen in basketball and soccer in the U.S.,” Morgan tells Front Office Sports. “Just with the valuations of the teams, the expansion. … So, for Trybe, we felt like women’s golf was a great opportunity, and if we got the opportunity to invest, we weren’t gonna pass that up.”

WTGL is the second major property for parent company TMRW Sports, which was cofounded by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, and launched the men’s TGL in 2025. Financial details of the initial WTGL investment round are not available. During a 2024 investment round, TMRW was valued at $500 million.

Morgan was already an investor in TMRW and TGL’s Los Angeles Golf Club, which is owned by Alexis Ohanian, who has pushed hard for a women’s TGL product. She is also an investor in Unrivaled and Togethxr.

“Being really close with TMRW Sports and TGL over the last couple of years, we have been pushing hard for a WTGL—I don’t think there’s any secret about that,” Morgan says. “It just ended up being such perfect timing.”

Beyond Morgan, Trybe Ventures’s investment group in WTGL includes fellow former USWNT stars Mia Hamm and Abby Wambach, as well as notable investors Linnea Roberts (GingerBread Capital), Jenny Just (Peak6 Investments), Susan Lyne (BBG Ventures), Jen Mackesy (World Sevens Football, Gotham FC, Chelsea Football Club), and Ellie Rubenstein (Manna Tree).

Like TGL, the plan for WTGL is to sell franchises to individual ownership groups. TGL team owners include major businesspeople who own teams across the top U.S. sports league, like Arthur Blank (Falcons), Steve Cohen (Mets), David Blitzer (76ers and Devils), and Marc Lasry (former Bucks owner). It’s possible some of those TGL owners could also purchase WTGL franchises.

While Morgan says her main focus will initially be building WTGL at the league level, she’s leaving the door open for potential investment in an individual franchise, too. “I wouldn’t rule out anything at the team level right now,” she says.

Other celebrity investors in TMRW or individual TGL teams include Stephen Curry, Serena Williams, Josh Allen, Lewis Hamilton, Andy Murray, Chris Paul, Shohei Ohtani, Tony Romo, Justin Timberlake, Shaquille O’Neal, Dwyane Wade, Kevin Durant, Mike Trout, Michael Rubin, Justin Bieber, DJ Khaled, and Darius Rucker.
