The Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy-powered golf simulator league, TGL, is officially full. Boston Common Golf announced Tuesday that its final roster spot will be filled by Masters champion Hideki Matsuyama, with the Japanese joining McIlroy, Keegan Bradley and Adam Scott on the Boston squad.
“I’m excited to join Boston Common Golf and be a part of TGL,” said Matsuyama. “Partnering with Rory, Keegan and Adam – three incredible players who I deeply respect – fills me with excitement and anticipation. Together, I hope we can push the boundaries of golf and create an unforgettable new experience for fans around the world. Most importantly Yeah, I’m looking forward to the four of us winning championships together.”
Matsuyama’s place on the team was originally filled by Tyrrell Hatton until the Englishman switched from the PGA Tour to LIV Golf in early 2024. With Hatton opting to wear a Legion XIII cap instead of a Boston Common Golf cap, the Team captain McIlroy was in need of one more player in his squad, opting for Matsuyama.
With the addition of Matsuyama to Boston Common Golf, all six TGL teams are now filled as the league charts its course toward its January 2025 launch date.
Matsuyama isn’t the only person to join Boston Common Golf this week, as singer Niall Horan’s investment group, Greenbridge Ventures, has also backed the team. A friend of McIlroy’s for some time, the former One Direction member caught the golf bug and joins the long list of celebrities invested in various TGL teams.
“Golf has always been a passion of mine and I am thrilled to be part of this exciting new venture alongside my investment group Greenbridge Ventures in partnership with Fenway Sports Group and Rory, who is a long-time friend,” said Horan. “I can’t wait to experience team golf in this unique format that combines technology with green grass play. Being able to combine my love of the game and my friendship with Rory into a relationship that helps launch a new golf concept is truly special. It’s a fantastic opportunity and I think this new league supported by Tiger Woods, Rory and team will bring a new perspective to the sport I love.”
