BOSTON (WBZ NewsRadio) — Boston and New England will have a new team to root for after a Fenway Sports Group (FSG) announcement on Thursday.
FSG unveiled Boston Common Golf, the company's latest acquisition of a team in a tech-forward golf league founded by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy. Teddy Werner will serve as Governor and Mark Lev will serve as President and CEO.
“Introducing a team in a newly created league requires the steady guidance of experienced leaders and with Mark leading the day-to-day operation and Teddy overseeing the brand identity and growth of this new team, I know we have the right people in place for the successful launch and growth of this exciting venture,” said Fenway Sports Management CEO Sam Kennedy.
The four-player team features some of the best golfers in the world: McIlroy, Adam Scott, Tyrrell Hatton and New England's own Keegan Bradley. All four players currently play on the PGA Tour.
In the inaugural season, they will play against five other teams, followed by a four-team postseason. All matches will be held at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach, Fla., a state-of-the-art facility that combines virtual golf with a short game complex.
The first season begins in January 2024.
