personalities, and team spirit of the participating LPGA stars, WTGL will build upon the foundation of

foundational elements of TGL like mic’d up moments, risk-reward team decisions and throwing the
Hammer, WTGL will provide the same tech-driven platform with comprehensive shot performance
data and statistics-based analytics built seamlessly into the competition.
