Professional Golfers and Digital Creators Step into Front-Office Leadership for

Dallas Franchise in a First for the Grass League

DALLAS and TEMPE, Ariz., Sept. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Dallas Horsemen and the Grass League announced today that professional golfers Alexis Miestowski and Marissa Wenzler have been named Co-General Managers of the Dallas franchise. The appointment marks the first women general managers in Grass League history.

Both have emerged as influential voices in the modern golf landscape as founding members of the Good Good Girls platform in 2025, one of the leading creator‑driven platforms in women's golf. Good Good Girls co-founders Yoonhee Kim and Hadley Walts will support Miestowski and Wenzler in their efforts to help strengthen the Horsemen's presence and impact across the league.

In their new roles, Miestowski and Wenzler will lead all franchise operations, player recruitment, roster management, and tournament pairings while serving as the primary public faces of the club. As women's sports continue to experience unprecedented growth in participation, viewership, and investment, the Horsemen are positioning themselves at the forefront of that momentum — building a franchise where women lead, compete, and define the team's identity.

"Alexis and Marissa taking the reins in Dallas further solidifies the inclusiveness of the Grass League," said Jason Pritchett, Grass League Commissioner. "Los Angeles Roses 2025 Grass League Champion Gabi Ruffels showed women can win here. Now two women are not only playing but running the franchise."

Both bring established competitive resumes and prominent national profiles to the Horsemen front office. Miestowski, a Schererville, Indiana native, competed collegiately at Indiana University before transitioning to the professional ranks on the Epson Tour. Wenzler, from Dayton, Ohio, concluded a standout collegiate career at the University of Kentucky in 2024 before turning professional and competing on developmental tours. Kim, originally from Seoul and now based in Southern California, has built a strong competitive and creator presence across women's golf. Walts, from Columbus, Ohio, brings a background in collegiate golf and a rapidly growing national profile.

"We loved competing for the Horsemen, and stepping into the front office gives us the chance to shape the identity of this team," said Miestowski and Wenzler. "The Grass League has made one thing obvious: fans want intense, high‑stakes golf — and women can lead that charge. We're here to build a roster that performs well, set a culture that reflects the League's energy, and collect trophies for Dallas."

Miestowski and Wenzler have paired up as teammates for the Horsemen across multiple Grass League events, giving them firsthand knowledge of the league's high-stakes, two-person scramble play.

"Alexis and Marissa know how this format works because they've played it under pressure," said the Dallas Horsemen Ownership Group. "They understand what it takes to build a competitive roster, they have the respect of players across the country, and they match the personality of this team. Handing them the keys is the right move to build a winning club that Dallas can rally around."

The move highlights the Grass League's open-access model, where elite men and women compete on the same stage under equal rules.

"Alexis and Marissa taking the helm of the Dallas Horsemen ushers in a new era for the franchise and creates an opportunity to bring female talent into the Grass League in a big way," said Jake Hoselton, Co-Founder and CEO of the Grass League. "They're both golfers and fierce competitors, and seeing that competitive spirit translate from the course to the business and leadership side of a franchise only adds to what makes the Grass League such a compelling platform."
