TMRW Sports’ indoor golf league is going to feature teams from the LPGA Tour starting next season. The entertainment group and the LPGA announced the addition Tuesday of the WTGL, which will be run separately from the TGL while looking every bit like the tech-infused indoor league. Matches will be played at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Key details still to be worked out include how many four-player teams will be part of the inaugural WTGL season. TGL has six teams, with a seventh team (Detroit) to be added for its third season in 2026-27. The WTGL also is still forming ownership groups, making it too soon to announce the size of the inaugural season or which cities they will represent. Commissioner Craig Kessler has leaned into four pillars — trust, visibility, growing fans and securing financial stability — since taking over the LPGA in July. “We view our partnership with TGL exciting on two of those — growing fans and visibility,” Kessler said in a telephone interview.  » Read More

U.S. adolescents spend more than one hour per day on smartphones during school hours, with social media accounting for the largest share of use, according to  research published Jan. 5, 2026, in JAMA .

They deprive students of the opportunity to be fully engaged in class and to hone their social skills with classmates and teachers,” said Dr.  Dimitri Christakis , the paper’s senior author.  He is a professor of pediatrics at the University of Washington School of Medicine and practices at Seattle Children's
