“I’m absolutely ecstatic to join Boston Common Golf and to represent the vibrant sports culture of Boston and New England,” expressed McIlroy in a statement from Boston Common Golf. “TGL introduces a unique aspect to the game, and I’m eagerly looking forward to standing alongside Adam, Keegan, and Tyrrell as teammates. It’s an incredible opportunity that will foster lasting connections and promote regional pride, something rarely seen in the game of golf.”
