The new technology-infused golf league, led by Tiger Woods, and Rory McIlroy, has had a morning of good news and bad news.
The bad news? The bad news? Jon Rahm won’t be playing in the 2024 league when it begins in January. The good news? The team rosters will be announced soon.
Boston Common Golf announced its four-player lineup of McIlroy (at left), Keegan Bradly (at right), Tyrrell Hatton (at center) and Adam Scott at the start of Thursday’s morning. Justin Thomas, (Atlanta), and Colleen Morikawa, (Los Angeles), were the first players to sign a contract with a golf team.
Bradley’s signing to the Boston team is a logical move, given his Northeast ties. The six-time PGA Tour champion and 2011 PGA Champion grew up Vermont and briefly resided in a Boston suburban area in high school.

McIlroy is the world’s No. McIlroy, the world No. 2, is a four time major champion. He has also won 27 times on the PGA Tour. Two of these wins were in the Boston region at the former Deutsche Bank Championship held annually at TPC Boston, Norton, Massachusetts, from 2003-18.
Hatton, with his fiery personality, would be a good fit for Boston. Not to mention that the six-time European Tour champion and 2020 Arnold Palmer Invitational winner has a close relationship with McIlroy because of their time together on three European Ryder Cup Teams.
Scott has won 14 times on the Tour, including 2003 Deutsche Bank Championships, 2004 Players Championships and 2013 Masters.
