Owners John Henry and Chairman Tom Werner are ready to see how this sport develops, especially in a place like Boston, where the sport is well loved.
"Through this new, tech-focused version of the game, New England sports fans will soon have a team of world-class PGA TOUR players to cheer for and redefine for this community what it means to play the game in the modern era."
Atlanta Team
The Atlanta team was the third team to join Tiger Woods's TGL League. Arthur M. Blank is the owner of the Atlanta Team alongside NFL’s Atlanta Falcons and MLS’s Atlanta United. Blank is ready to put his best foot forward and is ready to see the growth of the sport.
“We are thrilled to partner with TMRW Sports and be a founding owner in TGL. I see this as an investment to grow the game, deliver an innovative product to avid fans while exposing golf to new, younger audiences, and another way for us to compete for championships for Atlanta."
Los Angeles Team
The Los Angeles team was the first one to be announced in Tiger Woods's league. The team is owned by tennis sisters Serena Williams and Venus Williams alongside Alexis Ohanian and NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo.
"Los Angeles is the perfect home for our TGL team. This city embodies the intersection of sports, technology, and entertainment, making it an ideal backdrop for the innovation and excitement we aim to bring to the world of golf and its fans," Ohanian said.
