The indoor golf league is the women’s version of the tech-infused TGL, which debuted last year with some of the top stars on the PGA Tour and currently is in its second season.
Last week, the WTGL announced its first roster members with World No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul of Thailand, England’s Charley Hull (No. 5 in the world), New Zealand’s Lydia Ko (No. 6), Canada’s Brooke M. Henderson (No. 23) and Lexi Thompson (No. 82).
“The response to WTGL since our launch has been incredibly encouraging, particularly in the level of interest and commitment we’re seeing from players across the LPGA Tour,” chief media, strategy and legal officer Liz Moore said in a statement.
“Having Lottie and Rose join this growing group — and seeing so many WTGL players competing this week at the LPGA Tour’s season-opening Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions — reinforces our belief that WTGL will complement the LPGA in a meaningful way and create new opportunities to showcase the incredible talent, personalities and competitiveness of our athletes.”
Zhang and England’s Woad are both 22, are both former No. 1-ranked amateurs and were both winners in their LPGA Tour debuts. Zhang won the Mizuho Americas Open in June 2023 and Woad captured the Women’s Scottish Open last July.
TMRW Sports started the TGL, which was formed in partnership with Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy. The TGL consists of six teams with four players each competing on an indoor golf simulator at Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. A seventh team will be added in 2027. Teams compete head-to-head, leading to a single champion.

Olympian Admits To Cheating on Girlfriend on Live TV After Bronze Medal
They say shooters shoot.
And even though basketball is played in the Summer Olympics, that isn’t stopping Norwegian biathlete Sturla Holm Laegreid from pulling up at the logo to try to win back his ex-girlfriend.
After winning a bronze medal, Laegreid broke down in tears during his bizarre post-event interview, explaining that he cheated on his girlfriend and only came clean one week before competing in the Olympics.
The love triangle unfolded all at once, as the bronze medalist explained that his performance was impacted by his infidelity toward “the love of his life.”
“There is someone who may not be watching today. Half a year ago, I met the love of my life, the world’s most beautiful, finest person,” Laegreid said, according to an NRK transcript translated into English by Google Translate. “And three months ago, I made the biggest mistake of my life and cheated on her.”
“I had a gold medal in my life,” he continued. “There are probably many now who look at me with different eyes, but I only have eyes for her. I don’t quite know what I want to achieve by saying it here now, but sport has taken second place in recent days. I wish I could share it with her.”
The 28-year-old is a former gold medalist in the biathlon event from the 2022 Olympics, but he said the guilt and heaviness surrounding his personal relationship negatively impacted his preparation for this year’s competition.
Laegreid mercifully didn’t name the woman on live television. But if that wasn’t enough, the reporter asked whether he thought there was any chance of winning her back after his emotional confession on national TV.
“Maybe I ruined myself now to get her back,” Laegreid said, according to Google Translate.
“It hurts to admit when you do something you cannot stand for and hurt someone you love so much. But such is life now,” he added. “I had a chance at true love and turned out so amazing. It is not certain that it can be forgiven. But if this can give me a tiny chance to tell her how much I love her, I’d rather commit social suicide on live TV just to get that small chance.”
That might be the best interview we get at the Olympic Games, folks. Enjoy it. Cherish it.
They say once a cheater, always a cheater. But in this case? Maybe Laegreid deserves another chance. After all, any woman who ever Googles his name is in for quite a treat when she stumbles across this masterpiece.

Ravens tab Anthony Weaver as new DC
Oct 12, 2025; Miami Gardens, Florida, USA; Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver leaves the field after a game between the Miami Dolphins and the Los Angeles Chargers at Hard Rock Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Rich Storry-Imagn Images The Baltimore Ravens officially named Anthony Weaver as the team’s defensive coordinator on Tuesday.
Weaver, 45, previously served as the Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator before accepting the job at the same post in Baltimore. He previously worked for the Ravens from 2021-23, starting as a defensive line coach and run game coordinator before getting promoted to assistant head coach.
“A highly regarded defensive mind, Anthony Weaver has a proven track record of success and is the definition of what it means to be a Raven,” Baltimore new head coach Jesse Minter said. “He elevates players with his football IQ, tactical knowledge and natural teaching ability — all attributes that make him one of the game’s most respected coaches.”
Minter, however, will handle the defensive calls for the Ravens next season.
In Weaver’s second season as defensive coordinator for Miami in 2025, the Dolphins allowed 348.8 yards per game (22nd in the NFL) and 24.9 points per game (24th).
With Zach Orr as defensive coordinator, the Ravens yielded 354.5 yards per game (24th) and 23.4 points per game (18th).
Weaver began his NFL career in Baltimore after being selected in the second round of the 2002 NFL Draft. He spent the first four of his seven NFL seasons playing for the Ravens.

Mandatory Credit: D. Ross Cameron-Imagn Images The Colorado Rockies signed right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano to a one-year contract on Tuesday and placed outfielder Kris Bryant on the 60-day injured list.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed for Sugano, however multiple media outlets reported it was worth $5.1 million.
Sugano, 36, signed a one-year, $13 million contract with the Baltimore Orioles ahead of last season after spending 12 campaigns with the Yomiuri Giants in Nippon Professional Baseball. He posted a 10-10 record with a 4.64 ERA in 30 games (all starts) with the Orioles.
Sugano joins a Rockies rotation that includes Michael Lorenzen, Kyle Freeland, Ryan Feltner and likely Chase Dollander.
Bryant, 34, is nursing a degenerative lumbar condition in his lower back. He played in just 11 games last season and 170 over the first four campaigns of a seven-year, $182 million contract with Colorado.
A four-time All-Star and 2016 National League MVP, Bryant is hitting .273 with 184 home runs and 548 RBIs in 1,054 career games with the Chicago Cubs, San Francisco Giants and Rockies.
