TGL Boston team to be led by Red Sox, Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group

The TGL has gone bicoastal.

Earlier this month it was announced that Reddit founder Alexis Ohanian, as well as tennis stars Serena and Venus Williams, would take ownership of Los Angeles Golf Club (LAGC), the first of six team ownership groups for the new tech-infused golf league developed by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy’s TMRW Sports.

On Monday Fenway Sports Group (FSG) was announced as the ownership team for TGL Boston, the league’s second team. A new team name and logo will be released at a later date. FSG is the parent company of the Boston Red Sox, Liverpool Football Club and the Pittsburgh Penguins.

“We are excited for this new journey as one of the six inaugural TGL teams in honor of a city whose love and passion for sports is unparalleled,” said FSG principal owner John Henry and chairman Tom Werner. “Through this new, tech-focused version of the game, New England sports fans will soon have a team of world-class PGA Tour players to cheer for and redefine for this community what it means to play the game in the modern era.”

If you’re unfamiliar with the plans for TGL, here’s the format:

Six teams of three PGA Tour players will compete in 15 regular-season Monday night matches, followed by semifinals and finals matches, starting January 2024. The matches will be played at a tech-infused, short-game complex, and fans will be able to see every shot live over a two-hour broadcast on primetime television.

Woods and McIlroy helped break ground on the TGL venue at Palm Beach State College in February, and currently 12 players have committed to TGL, including Woods, McIlroy, Jon Rahm, Justin Thomas.
