LPGA star Nelly Korda publicly questioned TMRW Sports' decision to establish a new indoor women's golf league this week. Instead, she argued, TGL should look to integrate LPGA players into the existing TGL competition alongside their PGA counterparts.

Speaking with Golfweek as she prepares for the new season, Korda characterized the choice to create the WTGL as a separate entity as a "missed opportunity." The former world No. 1 suggested that combining men's and women's competitors would be a transformative moment for professional golf.

Korda went on to suggest that competing for identical prize purses would break historical ground. She also expressed surprise that other players have yet to voice similar concerns about TGL's segregated structure.

Co-founded by golf legends Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, TMRW Sports revealed plans for its WTGL offshoot earlier this month. The women's competition will utilize the same technology-driven simulator format that launched at Florida's SoFi Center during TGL's first season.

Multiple high-profile LPGA players have signed on to participate in WTGL's debut season, set for this winter. The roster includes reigning No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul, along with established stars like Lydia Ko, Charley Hull, Lexi Thompson, Brooke Henderson, Rose Zhang, and rising star Lottie Woad.

Korda's name has been conspicuously absent from these announcements.

Regarding her potential participation, Korda indicated she remains undecided while evaluating scheduling demands and operational details. Her primary focus currently centers on preparation for the LPGA season, which kicks off this week with the Tournament of Champions.

While Korda balanced her critique by saying the WTGL offers valuable opportunities, she maintained that an integrated league would have more impact on expanding the pro women's golf's reach.

Gotham FC's inaugural Champions Cup dreams ended on Wednesday morning, as Brazil's SC Corinthians upset the reigning NWSL champs 1-0 in the FIFA competition's London semifinal.

Corinthians captain Gabi Zanotti scored the match's lone goal in the 83rd minute, after Gotham standouts Gabi Portilho and Rose Lavelle exited with injury.

"We feel like we probably should have done better throughout the game and been more clinical in both boxes," Gotham defender Jess Carter said postgame. "There's not really much more to say other than probably a little bit disappointed by it."

Gotham was at a calendar disadvantage as the only Champions Cup team entering the semifinals during their offseason, causing the players some frustration as FIFA similarly eyes a January start for the 2028 Club World Cup.

"You're asking [NWSL] players to cut their offseason short when everyone's just had competitions and Euros and traveling across the world," Carter continued. "We all want to play, we want to give everybody the highest level of entertainment, and we can only do that if were all fully fit and that goes across the board for every single women's game."

Gotham will now face ASFAR for a shot at a third-place finish on Sunday, after UWCL winners Arsenal demolished the Moroccan champions 6-0 in Wednesday's second semifinal.

Once-unbeaten No. 5 Vanderbilt is charging ahead, getting an extra day to recover from their blowout loss to No. 3 South Carolina after winter weather pushed Thursday night's ranked clash with No. 17 Ole Miss to Friday.

"This is why you want to play games like this, on the road in an incredible environment," Vanderbilt head coach Shea Ralph said after Sunday's streak-ending defeat. "There are all kinds of things that we can't control that are happening right now, but the most important part to me is how we respond to it, and that's what we're going to focus on."

As for the Rebels, Ole Miss is fresh off a bounce-back victory of their own, beating unranked Missouri 82-61 last week behind forward Cotie McMahon's 33 points.

In light of the winter storm sweeping the South, the now-Friday afternoon game will take place at Legacy Arena in Birmingham, Alabama.

"Disappointed that we lost a home game BUT grateful that we get to play," Ole Miss head coach Yolette McPhee-McCuin posted to social media on Tuesday, thanking administrators after the storm forced the Rebels to also postpone Monday's matchup against No. 15 Tennessee indefinitely. "Alabama Rebs we could use your support!"

The SEC foes last met in February 2025, with Ole Miss topping Vanderbilt 76-61 — though the Commodores' hot start could flip that script this year.

Ford Motor Company has been named the official vehicle of the LPGA Tour, kicking off a multi-year partnership at the 2026 Tournament of Champions in Orlando this week.

This marks the Tour's first official vehicle partner since 2018's Kia sponsorship. Ford has served as a tournament title sponsor since 2024, demonstrating the auto giant's commitment to women's golf.

The expanded partnership includes the Power Her Drive mentorship program, designed to support LPGA players in the early stages of their careers. The program will specifically target athletes in their first or second years, providing resources, career guidance, and development opportunities.

"At Ford, we believe in the power of human capability and potential," said Ford chief marking officer Lisa Materazzo.

"By teaming up with the LPGA Tour in a completely new way, we’re not just sponsoring tournaments, but we're investing in the careers and futures of the next generation of professional athletes."

Ford will also become presenting sponsor of Drive On, a longstanding storytelling campaign focused on highlighting pro golfers' journeys. The collaboration aims to empower girls and women both on and off the golf course.

LPGA commissioner Mollie Marcoux Samaan expressed gratitude for Ford's alignment with the tour, noting that the partnership demonstrates recognition of the transformative power of women's sports.

The Ford Championship presented by Wild Horse Pass is scheduled to return this spring. The tournament will tee off March 26th at Whirlwind Golf Club in Phoenix, Arizona.

UConn basketball will celebrate one of its most consistent stars Wednesday night, when WNBA standout and UConn alum Aaliyah Edwards becomes the latest Huskies of Honor member before the women's team hosts Xavier at Gampel Pavilion.

Edwards epitomized reliability throughout her career at UConn, missing just three games in four seasons while steadily improving her game. She earned BIG EAST Sixth Woman of the Year in 2021 and BIG EAST Most Improved Player in 2023. In her final year, she collected 2024 All-BIG EAST, Wooden Award All-American, and WBCA All-American honors.

The Kingston, Ontario native racked up 1,861 points and 1,020 rebounds through her four years, finishing 16th in program history in total career points and eighth in rebounds. The Washington Mystics took Edwards No. 6 overall in the 2024 WNBA draft, before a midseason trade saw her join the Connecticut Sun last year.

Legendary UConn basketball coach Geno Auriemma praised Edwards's approach, celebrating both her improvement and her drive during a rough run for the now-No. 1 team.

"Sometimes careers go smoothly; sometimes it's rocky," said Auriemma. "[Edwards] managed to make the best out of a very difficult situation."

Her No. 3 jersey will be added to the wall at Gampel Pavilion during tonight's ceremony.

Of course, today's reigning NCAA champions enter the Xavier rematch on a perfect 21-0 record, having won 16 consecutive victories by at least 25 points. The Huskies routed the unranked Musketeers 104-39 in their first meeting back in late November, hitting a season-high 18 three-pointers while forcing 31 turnovers.

Despite their odds, Auriemma emphasized that UConn basketball must avoid complacency going forward. The team already faced challenges against Seton Hall in Saturday's weather-impacted matchup, overcoming an early deficit to win 92-52.
