June 26 (Reuters) - Fenway Sports Group, owner of Major League Baseball's Boston Red Sox and Premier League club Liverpool, said on Monday they have added a team in the TGL, the tech-forward team golf league developed by Tiger Woods, to their portfolio.
A total of six teams will make up the TGL, an innovative, new primetime golf league that fuses technology and live action that begins play in January at a specially designed state-of-the-art arena in Palm Beach, Florida.
"We are excited for this new journey as one of the six inaugural TGL teams in honour of a city whose love and passion for sports is unparalleled," said Fenway Sports Group principal owner John Henry and chairman Tom Werner in a statement on the TGL website.
Teams will be made up of three players and feature some of the PGA Tour's biggest names.
Players who have committed to the project include 15-times major winner Woods, Masters champion Jon Rahm and four-times major winner Rory McIlroy.
