Nelly Korda: Not including women in TGL a 'huge and unbelievable miss'

The TGL, featuring top men’s stars, is early in its second season.
Asked about the upcoming WTGL, the women’s edition that will share the TGL’s virtual platform in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., Nelly Korda told Golfweek on Tuesday, “I have mixed feelings on it if I’m being very honest, and I’m surprised no other girls have, or no one’s really spoken out about it. I think it’s a huge and unbelievable miss that we’re not playing alongside the men.
“There’s no greater way to grow the game, and it would have been revolutionary. It would have been the first time, I think, that men and women are on the same playing field, playing for the same exact amount of money. But I also think it’s great that we are getting this opportunity, so that’s my mixed feelings.”
Korda, a 27-year-old Florida native, spoke to Golfweek in Orlando, where she is preparing for the LPGA’s season-debut Tournament of Champions. The two-time major winner has not yet committed to competing in the WTGL, which has an entry list that features world No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul, Lexi Thompson, Brooke Henderson, Charley Hull, Lydia Ko, Lottie Woad and Rose Zhang.
“I’m just still weighing out the time commitment,” Korda told Golfweek. “I just haven’t really thought about it too much, because I’ve been really focused on trying to get ready for this season. I think logistically, they’re still trying to figure some stuff out, so I will just weigh out my options in the near future.”
Mike McCarley, a former television executive who founded TGL with Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy under their TMRW Sports banner, previously discussed the possibility of TGL becoming coed.
“I think that is something that’s interesting to us and is interesting to the LPGA and is interesting to a lot of the players we’re talking to, but right now, we’re really focused on building (the TGL) out and providing, frankly, a nice stage and really nice platform to showcase the players and their personalities,” McCarley said, according to Golfweek.

Mandatory Credit: Kyle Ross-Imagn Images Nashville SC and the Philadelphia Union played to a scoreless draw on Saturday night in Chester, Pa.
Nashville (7-1-2, 23 points) stayed atop the Eastern Conference table while extending its MLS unbeaten streak to four matches. Keeper Brian Schwake made five saves for the clean sheet as Nashville moved to 3-1-2 on the road.
Philadelphia (1-7-3, 6 points) remained last in the Eastern Conference while pushing its home record to 0-3-2. The Union only lost once at home last season (12-1-4) when they won the Supporters’ Shield. Philadelphia is winless in four straight (0-1-3). Keeper Andre Blake stopped two shots to preserve the clean sheet.
Both teams hit the post early in the second half.
In the 52nd minute, Nashville defender Josh Bauer redirected Warren Madrigal’s free kick off the post.
A minute later, Union midfielder Indiana Vassilev hit the right post with his strike from outside the box.
Philadelphia hit the post a second time in the 72nd minute as Agustin Anello curled his right-footed strike off the far post.
Blake made a glorious save in the 74th minute to keep the match scoreless, diving to get his hand on Ahmed Qasem’s left-footed strike.

The Union’s first quality chance came in the 11th minute as Jovan Lukic put his strike from the middle of the box over the woodwork.
In the 29th minute, Cavan Sullivan forced Schwake to make a save on his left-footed shot from the left side of the area.
Philadelphia defender Japhet Sery Larsen left the match in the 15th minute with an apparent injury and was replaced by Geiner Martinez.

FC Dallas finally win against host Red Bulls after 20-year drought
May 2, 2026; Harrison, New Jersey, USA; Red Bull New York forward Cade Cowell (7) and FC Dallas midfielder Ran Binyamin (6) battle for the ball during the first half at Sports Illustrated Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images Peter Musa scored in the 54th minute and FC Dallas snapped an 11-game road winless skid in all competitions against the New York Red Bulls with a 2-0 victory on Saturday night in Harrison, N.J.
Dallas (4-3-4, 16 points) earned its first road win in the series since its 2-1 win on May 24, 2006, in a game that was played at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. Dallas had been 0-9-2 in the previous 11 visits to the Red Bulls, including a loss in penalty kicks during U.S. Open Cup competition on May 21, 2025.
Musa scored his league-leading 10th goal by capitalizing on a breakdown by New York’s defense.
Left unattended near the left side of the net by Red Bulls defender Matthew Dos Santos, Musa waited for a pass from Ran Binyamin and put a right-footed shot past goalie Ethan Horvath.
Musa scored after missing last week’s 2-1 loss at the Seattle Sounders due to injury. His goal also helped Dallas end a four-game winless skid.
Samuel Sarver scored on a header in the 88th minute on an assist from Logan Farrington. The goal came two minutes after midfielder Ramiro Benetti blocked an attempt by New York’s Rafael Mosquera.
Besides getting another goal from Musa, FC Dallas clamped down defensively. Despite allowing New York to hold possession for 61.2% of the contest, Dallas allowed only seven shot attempts, and Michael Collodi earned the shutout without facing a shot.
New York (3-5-2, 12 points) was blanked for the second straight league game and third time overall as its winless skid reached four games (0-3-1). The Red Bulls also fell to 1-5-2 after winning their first two contests.
Horvath finished with four saves and kept the Red Bulls in it by denying Musa’s header in the 11th minute along with a pair of shots by Binyamin in the opening half.

Cadillac Championship final round moved up due to forecast
May 1, 2026; Miami, Florida, USA; Cameron Young plays his tee shot on the eighth hole during the second round of the Cadillac Championship golf tournament. Mandatory Credit: Jeff Romance-Imagn Images The final round of the Cadillac Championship was moved up to a 7:30 a.m. ET start with groups teeing off from the Nos. 1 and 10 holes due to Sunday’s forecast in Miami calling for heavy thunderstorms and rain.
Formula 1’s Miami Grand Prix also moved up the start of its race from 4 p.m. to 1 p.m.
Cameron Young holds a six-shot lead entering the final round at Trump National Doral’s Blue Monster Course following a 2-under-par 70 on Saturday that put him at 15 under for the tournament. The fifth elevated event of the season features a $20 million purse.
Young will tee off in the final group at 9:42 a.m. along with world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and South Korea’s Si Wo Kim, who are tied for second along with Norway’s Kristoffer Reitan at 9 under.
“I think I tend to play well at difficult golf courses, difficult setups, difficult conditions,” Young said after completing a third round that featured significantly more wind than the first 36 holes. “This is all of those things. I think it plays into my hands a little bit.”
Young will be looking for his second victory of the season and the third of his career on the PGA Tour during Sunday’s final round.
“I’m sure it will not be as easy as I want it to be,” Young said. “Sounds like the weather is not going to be great. It will be a fight from the beginning and just looking to execute the way that I did for the most part today.”
Scheffler shot 69 to move to second place by the time he finished the third round.
“The tournament’s in (Young’s) hands right now,” Scheffler said. “I can go out and have a really good round, and if he has another really good round he’s going to be a tough guy to catch.”
