Rose Zhang's 301-yard drive during the inaugural WTGL match at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, on November 8, 2026, has raised questions about the technology used to measure driving distances.
The event featured notable golfers Michelle Wie West and Lydia Ko alongside Zhang. The extraordinary distance recorded by Zhang has prompted scrutiny of the WTGL's tracking systems, though no official explanation has been provided.
The match marked the launch of the WTGL, a new technology-focused golf league. Further details on the measurement methodology are expected as the league progresses.
