TGL makes its first trade, sending Shane Lowry to Boston Common

The Bay Golf Club dealt Lowry to Rory McIlroy's team in exchange for a roster selection and future picks ahead of the league's third season.

TGL has its first trade in league history. The Bay Golf Club has sent Shane Lowry to Boston Common Golf, reuniting him with his Jupiter neighbor and close friend Rory McIlroy.

In return, The Bay receives Boston Common's fourth selection to fill its open roster spot in this season's roster formation process, along with one future selection over the next three offseasons and commercial considerations.

The deal comes as TGL expands for its third season. Rosters have grown from four to five players, and the league has added a new team, Motor City Golf Club based in Detroit, which has added Brooks Koepka to its roster. Full rosters for every team are expected to be announced this week.

Boston Common Golf also fields a team in the WTGL, which is set to hold its inaugural season. The TGL season itself is scheduled to start December 27, with all matches played at SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens.

With the trade done, attention now turns to the full roster reveals and the countdown to opening night.
