FSG finally get investment boost after Liverpool appointment and major setback

While Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group embark on their search for a second football club to acquire, one of the teams under their ownership has been given a start date for its inaugural season.

Back in November 2022, FSG agreed to acquire one of the franchises for the six-team TGL competition that was being launched and spearheaded by golf stars Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods through their TMRW Sports venture.

FSG purchased the Boston Common Golf Club and had expected to see the competition get underway in January of this year only for a power system failure at the venue that was supposed to play host the the TGL, the So-Fi Dome in Florida, resulting in part of the air-supported dome inflating.

The result of the damage was that the TGL slated its debut season a further 12 months in advance, with the start date for the competition confirmed on January 7, 2025, with the competition to be shown on ESPN on Tuesday nights, with two of the nights in question being 24 hours after some of the most watched sporting events on the network, with January traditionally ESPN’s most-watched month.

The primetime slot will be a boost to the TGL and the owners of its teams, with FSG looking for a strong performance and return from its most recent team investment, with the new format aimed at appealing to new audiences as well as existing ones for golf.

The idea behind the TGL marries live golf with technology. The concept is team match play in a 250,000-square-foot arena at Palm Beach State College in Florida. The longer shots are hit into a screen 20 times larger than a
