Nelly Korda isn't as thrilled about the launch of the new WTGL - a women's tech-infused golf league set to debut late this year - as you might expect.

"I have mixed feelings on it if I'm being very honest," the World No. 2 told Golfweek's Beth Ann Nichols on Tuesday. "And I'm surprised no other girls have, or no one's really spoken out about it. I think 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."

The TGL, formed by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy in 2022, is now in its second season.

"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," Korda added. "But I also think it's great that we are getting this opportunity, so that's my mixed feelings."

Brooke Henderson, Charley Hull, Lydia Ko, Jeeno Thitikul, Lexi Thompson, Lottie Woad, and Rose Zhang have all committed to playing in the WTGL, while Korda remains undecided.

"I'm just still weighing out the time commitment," Korda said. "I just haven't really thought about it too much, because I've been really focused on trying to get ready for this season. I think logistically, they're still trying to figure some stuff out, so I will just weigh out my options in the near future."

The WTGL will play at the custom-built SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, where the TGL has held all its matches.
