The golf industry continues to thrive, with new innovative golf leagues now revolutionizing how we once enjoyed the traditional sport. Shortly after TGL hit golfing circles by storm, we now have a new outfit dubbed the Infinity Women’s Golf Tour (IWGT) officially launched in early 2025. The professional women’s golf circuit seeks to transform the sport by fusing elite competition with women’s empowerment initiatives and sustainability. It features a progressive model that fosters global awareness through sports, supports sustainability efforts, and promotes gender equality.
The IWGT is supported by the World for World Organization (WFWO) and the United Nations (UN), seeking to offer a holistic approach that supersedes the traditional golfing experience by unifying high-level professional play with impactful community-driven initiatives. The tour will feature six global tournaments across five continents, pivoting it to become an influential force in professional golf while acting as a trailblazer for how sports organizations can contribute to global change.
Vision and Partnership with the United Nations
Although golf has made significant strides towards promoting gender equality, there has still been a clear need for visibility and more opportunities for female golfers worldwide, giving birth to the IWGT. Existing women tours like the Ladies European Tour and the LPGA Tour have done a great job in providing professional platforms, but the IWGT raises the bar by adding the aspects of women’s empowerment, sustainability, and global outreach to elite competition.
The IWGT’s landmark partnership with the UN and WFWO is one of its defining and most promising features. The collaboration seeks to use professional golf as an advocacy platform to raise awareness about the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
In every 2025 IWGT event, the 18th hole will be dedicated to the International Day of Sports for Development and Peace, serving as a symbol of this partnership and fortifying the tour’s message of empowerment, unity, and sustainability.
The partnership’s key impact areas include:
- Gender Equality and Women’s Rights: IWGT seeks to build a new elite platform for female golfers that offers greater opportunities for professional growth, extensive media coverage, and competitive prize money. The new tour commits to promote gender equality within and beyond golf and advocate for better opportunities for women in sports, leadership and business roles.
- Social and Educational Programs: IWGT will host special initiatives targeting underprivileged communities, such as mentorship programs, scholarships, and youth golf clinics.
- Climate Action and Environmental Awareness: Every tournament will incorporate eco-friendly practices such as waste reduction strategies, sustainable course management, and carbon offset programs.
Tour Structure and Event Schedule
The Infinity Women’s Golf Tour’s debut season will feature six events across five continents from May 2025 to November 2025. IWGT’s emphasis on an inclusive, global schedule underlines its mission of making professional women’s golf more internationally recognized, diverse, and accessible.

Future Prospects and Long-Term Goals

- Expand and grow to a full-season format with 12+ tournaments globally.
