Lowry Links up with McIlroy in First Ever TGL Trade
The move gives Rory McIlroy a close Ryder Cup teammate as TGL expands to seven franchises and five-player rosters for 2027.
On Monday, Boston Common Golf acquired Shane Lowry from The Bay Golf Club in the first trade in TGL history. The move reunites Lowry with close friend Rory McIlroy ahead of the 2027 season.
As TGL expands to five-player rosters for the 2027 season, the league introduced trades as a roster-building tool. Boston Common Golf surrendered its fourth-round 2027 selection and future considerations to The Bay Golf Club for Lowry.
Lowry joins a Boston roster featuring Keegan Bradley, Adam Scott, and Hideki Matsuyama. "I'm delighted to be joining Boston Common Golf," Lowry said, expressing enthusiasm about competing alongside his friend.
The league's third season begins December 27 at SoFi Center. Motor City Golf Club, a new expansion franchise, has added five-time major champion Brooks Koepka to its roster.
TGL plans to announce complete five-player team rosters on Tuesday, October 20. The league recently secured a multiyear media rights extension with ESPN, supporting its continued growth.
