Over seven months, Tiger Woods‘ TGL has added three owners to its women’s league: Arthur Blank on February 2, Alexis Ohanian on March 25, and Steve Cohen on June 9. Now, TMRW Sports has added a fifth and final name to the growing list, and this one already has a foothold in the men’s game.

On August 10, 2026, TGL reported that Fenway Sports Group acquired a fifth team in the WTGL, the tech-infused golf league’s women’s platform made in partnership with TGL and the LPGA. The new team acquired by the big fish will represent Boston and New England. The team will compete as Boston Common Golf, becoming FSG’s first team in women’s professional golf. The connection with TGL and the LPGA isn’t a surprise.
The roots of it began in 2023 when Fenway Sports Management (FSM) partnered with the women’s tour to help grow sponsorships. That, in turn, also helped develop marketing business. FSM was also one of the original six owners of TMRW Sports and was one of the key figures behind much-needed cash into the PGA Tour when it faced competition with LIV Golf in the early days.
As per reports, FSG owns the Boston Red Sox and Liverpool FC. Moreover, Forbes values the company at $14.19 billion, ranking it fourth among the world’s most valuable sports empires.
TGL CEO Mike McCarley addressed the acquisition: “Fenway Sports Group has been a TMRW Sports partner from the beginning and understands what it takes to build an enduring team brand in one of the world’s most passionate sports markets.”
Interestingly, the impact won’t be limited to the leaderboards. The community platform will be dedicated to expanding golf in areas of New England. That will not only help the sport grow, but will also help more young girls and women discover the game and take it up.
TGL began in 2025 as an all-men’s league; WTGL discussions began later. Notably, FSG’s involvement in TGL goes back to that founding season. Boston Common Golf competed as one of the six original TGL franchises with Rory McIlroy on its roster. Now, they are extending their arm to the women’s team as well.
FSG’s Boston team has signed 14 players, including top pros like Jeeno Thitikul, Charley Hull, Lydia Ko, Lottie Wood, Rose Zhang, Brooke Henderson, and Michelle Wie West. World No. 1 Nelly Korda is not yet part of the tech league. Korda has criticized that TGL and LPGA did not launch a mixed tech league. She called it a “huge and unbelievable miss.”
Regardless, WTGL will launch this fall at SoFi Center, just like TGL. Moreover, six of the 14 players in the tech league are in the top 13 of the players in the world rankings. As per Golfweek, these players have 95 LPGA Tour wins among them. An additional set of players is expected to be announced before the official launch of WTGL.
With that, WTGL now has fifth and final confirmed ownership group signings: Blank in Atlanta, Ohanian in Los Angeles, Cohen in New York, Hamp in Detroit, and now FSG in Boston.
“Boston Common Golf brings an established identity, a passionate fan base and an ownership group with a record of growing iconic sports properties,” said Mike McCarley, founder and CEO of TMRW Sports.
Later confirmations will cover the inauguration and more additions to the team. For now, WTGL franchises already have a value of $20 million each, months before the league plays a single match. How that pans out when it launches remains to be seen.
