Lowry joins McIlroy in first ever TGL Trade

Shane Lowry becomes the first player to be traded in the TMRW Golf League (TGL), signing with Rory McIlroy at Boston Common Golf for the 2027 season. The 39-year-old Irish golfer will join the five-time major winner at the SoFi Centre in Florida, where the league is set to take place. This marks the expansion of team rosters to five players for the upcoming campaign.

Previous team members include USA Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley, Masters champions Adam Scott and Hideki Matsuyama, who played together last season. The trade for Lowry saw The Bay GC acquire Boston Common Golf's fourth draft selection, one future selection over the next three seasons, and commercial considerations. McIlroy, who co-founded TGL with Tiger Woods and Mike McCarley, praised Lowry as a "great friend" and expressed excitement about playing alongside him, noting they have had "special wins together", such as at the Zurich Classic.

Lowry, who won the Irish Open in September, expressed his delight at joining McIlroy's team and the team's potential to bring a championship to Boston.
