The 25-year-old recently picked up his first PGA TOUR title at the Fortinet Championship in September. The win was the second PGA TOUR victory by an Indian Golfer (after Arjun Atwal in 2010) following Theegala's 2022-2023 season in which he tied for second at the RSM Classic last November and had seven top-10 finishes.

Theegala is one of five TGL players from California and one of the three announced this week by TMRW Sports Group and TGL CEO Mike McCarley. Theegala joins Keegan Bradley and Cameron Young as the newest additions in the league, bringing the total number of committed players to 19.

“These are three stellar players who will bring competitive fire to any team. Keegan is known throughout the golf community as a fierce opponent and someone who loves team golf, while Cam and Sahith have quickly become fan favorites as two of the most-talented young players in the game,” said McCarley.

The inaugural season of TGL presented by SoFi is set to air in prime time starting on Tuesday, January 9th, on ESPN and ESPN+. Team names, brands, front office staff and assigned players will be unveiled later this year, as will the inaugural schedule and other operational and fan-centric elements of TGL presented by SoFi. Currently four of six team ownership groups have been announced:

• Atlanta Drive GC: led by Arthur M. Blank, AMB Sports and Entertainment (Atlanta Falcons, Atlanta United, PGA TOUR Superstores)
• TGL Boston: led by John Henry, Tom Werner, and Fenway Sports Group (Boston Red Sox, Liverpool FC, Pittsburgh Penguins)
• Los Angeles Golf Club: led by Alexis Ohanian (Angel City FC), Serena Williams, and Venus Williams; as well as limited partners the Antetokounmpo brothers, Alex Morgan, Servando Carrasco and Michelle Wie West
• TGL New York: led by Steven A. Cohen (New York Mets), Cohen Private Ventures

“This is truly an honor to be a part of TGL alongside many players who I have looked up to during my career. TGL has a different energy than traditional golf and provides us as players with a chance to bring in new fans and engage a younger audience, which is very exciting,” said Theegala.
