Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 20 Oct, 11:20 · Archive

Shane Lowry has become the first player traded in TMRW Golf League history, moving to Boston Common Golf to join Rory McIlroy.

Shane Lowry is the first player traded in TMRW Golf League history, moving from The Bay Golf Club to Boston Common Golf to join Rory McIlroy for the 2027 season. Team rosters are expanding to five players per team for the new campaign, which will take place at the SoFi Centre in Florida.

In the trade, The Bay received Boston Common Golf's fourth-round draft selection, the right to swap one selection position during one of the next three TGL offseasons, and commercial considerations. The 39-year-old Lowry spent the first two seasons at The Bay.

McIlroy, who co-founded TGL alongside Tiger Woods and Mike McCarley, described Lowry as a 'great friend' and said they had 'some special wins together, including at the Zurich Classic'. He added: 'I'm delighted to welcome him to Boston Common Golf and excited about what we can achieve together this season.' Lowry said he was 'delighted' to join the group and looking forward to 'helping the team bring a championship to Boston'.

Elsewhere, motor City Golf Club has joined as a new seventh team, with five-time major winner Brooks Koepka announced as its first player.
