"Gino" makes her WTGL debut leading "Motor City" against Michelle Wie West's Los Angeles team.
Gino Arthaya Thitikul, the world’s number two female pro golfer, is set to play in the Women's Team Golf League (WTGL) for the first time, representing Motor City Golf Club. They will face Los Angeles Golf Club, led by Michelle Wie West, at the Sofi Center indoor golf course in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, USA, on Tuesday evening, 10 Nov 2026 (which corresponds to 08:00 on Wednesday, 11 Nov in Thai time).
This match is the second in the inaugural WTGL season, with Gino teaming up with world number six Ruoning Yin from China and American pro Lexi Thompson, who has 11 LPGA Tour wins. They will compete against Los Angeles’s trio of Michelle Wie West, Japan’s Aki Iwai, and Kiera Romero.
Gino said she was excited to be part of this historic league launch and believed it would be full of fun, offering golf fans a fresh and interesting perspective on the players.
“I’m very excited to be part of the league from its first season. Playing as a team, the fast pace of the games, and the technology used should help new generation fans get to know golf better and see us in a new light,” said the 23-year-old pro from Ratchaburi, adding,
“We usually compete every week anyway, so playing for Motor City and competing together is very special. From the first match, fans likely saw we show a different side in this format, with lively, fun games and full commitment. I enjoy playing with Ruoning, and everyone knows how good Lexi is. This match should be very exciting.”
In the league’s historic first match on Sunday, Los Angeles Golf Club defeated New York Golf Club 3-1.
