The Boston team joins Los Angeles Golf Club,
which was announced as the first team to join TGL on June 8 and
is owned by Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, his wife tennis
great Serena Williams and her sister Venus Williams.
A total of six teams will make up the TGL, an innovative, new
primetime golf league that fuses technology and live action that
begins play in January at a specially designed state-of-the-art
arena in Palm Beach, Florida.
"We are excited for this new journey as one of the six inaugural
TGL teams in honour of a city whose love and passion for sports
is unparalleled," said Fenway Sports Group principal owner John
Henry and chairman Tom Werner in a statement on the TGL website.
"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."
Teams will be made up of three players and feature some of the
PGA Tour's biggest names.
Players who have committed to the project include 15-times major
winner Woods, Masters champion Jon Rahm and four-times major
winner Rory McIlroy.
