Palm Beach Gardens, Florida - November 8, 2026 - Michelle Wie West of Los Angeles Golf Club (L.A.G.C.) clinched victory in the inaugural Women's Team Golf League (WTGL) match, defeating New York Golf Club. This marked the first-ever win for the Los Angeles Golf Club and set the stage for future success. The match took place at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens.
New York's Rose Zhang broke the ground with her opening tee shot, hitting the ball 301 yards into the fairway on Cut The Sails. The final score saw L.A.G.C. win the first hole, in a thrilling manner with a thrown hammer on number 3. L.A.G.C. also claimed the win on numbers 5 and 11. Gaby López, a Mexican player, made history as the first to participate in a WTGL team event.
She expressed her excitement over the unique team atmosphere, the music, and the energy that she typically does not experience in other golf events. The Los Angeles team will have another opportunity to extend their winning streak on Tuesday, as they face Motor City Golf Club.
