Charley Hull reacts to Nelly Korda's criticism of WTGL
Charley Hull says she is just grateful LPGA Tour players have been given the opportunity to take part in the WTGL later this year.
Charley Hull says she is just grateful LPGA Tour stars are being given the opportunity to take part in their own indoor golf league later this year.
The inaugural WTGL will be held in the same Florida venue as the men's TGL, which is currently in the middle of its second season.
TGL is the brainchild of TMRW Sports, co-founded by Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and sports executive Mike McCarley.
World number two Nelly Korda is yet to commit to the women's competition.
She hasn't ruled it out but described the lack of a mixed gender TGL "an unbelievable miss".
There is no better way to "grow the game", according to Korda.
Hull visited the venue - the Sofi Center in Palm Beach Gardens - earlier this week for the very first time.
Speaking ahead of the LPGA Tour's curtain-raiser, Hull suggested that women could be added to the men's league in the future.
"I'm just grateful for them giving us an opportunity no matter what really," Hull said.
"Could be something they build in the future, you never know.
"I feel like them giving us an opportunity to go out there on the same stage as the guys, even though it's not at the same time, fair play to them.
"Like I really respect that. Like thank you."
She added: "You never know, in a couple years' time they could do something like that.
"But like having an LPGA Tour and the PGA Tour and now we have the Grant Thornton, you never know.
"That's something they can probably build on."
Hull, 29, is one of two British golfers that have already confirmed their WTGL participation.
Lottie Woad, who turned professional last year after winning the Irish Open as an amateur, has also signed up.
World number one Jeeno Thitikul, America's Lexi Thompson and Canada's Brooke Henderson have also pledged their participation.
Atlanta Drive beat New York 4-3 to win the first TGL title last year.
McIlroy's Boston Common Golf currently lead the way in the TGL standings.
The season concludes in March.
The start date for the women's competition is yet to be announced.
What did Nelly Korda say?
Speaking to Golfweek, Korda said: "I have mixed feelings on it, and I'm surprised no other girls have spoken out about it.
"It's a huge and unbelievable miss that we're not playing alongside the men.
"There's no greater way to grow the game, and it would have been revolutionary.
"It would have been the first time, I think, that men and women are on the same playing field, playing for the same exact amount of money.
"But I also think it's great that we are getting this opportunity, so that's my mixed feelings."
