In general one has $T^W = Z(G) \times (\mathbb{Z}/2)^r$ where $r$ is the number of direct factors in $G$ isomorphic to $\text{SO}_{2n+1}$ ($n\geq 1$) except for the case $\text{char}(k)=2$ where $r=0$. The case $\text{PGL}_2$ considered above is isomorphic to $\text{SO}_{3}$ (note $A_1=B_1$) so $r=1$ (unless $\text{char}(k)=2$ where $r=0$). Note also that $r=0$ if the derived group of $G$ is simply connected. However the converse doesnt hold, ie consider $G=PSL_3$ ($\text{char}(k)\neq 2$). References (for the compact Lie group case) are Proposition 3.2(iv) (Update: this should be 3.2(vi)) in Jackowski, McClure and Oliver - Self-homotopy equivalences of classifying spaces of compact, connected Lie groups (MSN), Section 4 in Osse - $\lambda$-structures and representation rings of compact, connected Lie groups (MSN) or Theorem 1.6 in the paper "Normalizers of maximal tori and cohomology of Weyl groups" by M. Matthey.
