Expansion of the tech-infused TGL could include incorporating a women’s league.

That’s according to Mike McCarley, the CEO of TMRW Sports, which he co-founded with TGL partners Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy.

Speaking at the CAA World Congress of Sports meeting in Nashville, McCarley said expansion of the six-team TGL would start with one team and go from there. There is plenty of interest from potential franchise owners, he said.

And bringing in LPGA stars for a women’s league also is under consideration.

Alexis Ohanian, owner of TGL’s Los Angeles Golf Club, said he is pushing to add female golfers. Married to Serena Williams, winner of 23 tennis Grand Slam tournaments, he is an advocate for women in sports.

“I’ve been bugging these guys about the LPGA deal for a minute,” Ohanian said, per Sports Business Journal. “They have been very interested. It’s just these things take time, and I’m not allowed to make any news.”

McCarley said Ohanian has support.

“There’s no secret we’re working on that,” McCarley said. “Alexis has been a great thought leader for us on that, and I think most of our team owners are right behind them in that area, too.”
