TGL: Boston Common Golf wins first match ever, takes down L.A. in 7-5 match

Sports news

The second match of TGL’s season season took place on Friday night at the SoFi Center and featured Boston Common Golf and Los Angeles Golf Club and it wound up marking both league and franchise history for one side of the equation.

Boston outlasted L.A. and in doing so picked up their first ever match victory as a franchise. It was strange that they went all of last season without any, but they are officially undefeated after their second season debut.

From a roster standpoint the Boston half featured Rory McIlroy and Keegan Bradley with Michael Thorbjornsen in as an alternate. Justin Rose, Collin Morikawa, and Sahith Theegala rounded out the L.A. side.

Here is a recap of the scoring and how it unfolded.

As this was the first ever win for Boston Common Golf it marked the first TGL victory for one specific individual in Rory McIlroy. This particular match was Rory’s first in TGL since winning the Masters last year, so perhaps accomplishing the Career Grand Slam really did serve as a breakthrough.

TGL is back next Tuesday at 4:00pm CT with The Bay Golf Club taking on Atlanta Drive GC (1-0).

Deadspin | PGA returns to Doral after decade absence for Cadillac Championship Apr 18, 2026; Hilton Head, South Carolina, USA; Scottie Scheffler with his scorecard on 16 during the third round of the RBC Heritage golf tournament. Mandatory Credit: Jim Dedmon-Imagn Images The Blue Monster returns to the PGA Tour this week with the introduction — or rather, reintroduction — of the Cadillac Championship, beginning Thursday at Trump National Doral outside Miami. Doral hosted a tournament annually from 1962 through 2016; it was a World Golf Championship event for the final 10 years and sponsored by Cadillac from 2011-16. As the PGA Tour distanced itself from then-presidential candidate Donald Trump, the event was moved to Mexico City for the next few years. Now the PGA Tour has gone back into business with Trump National Doral, which held LIV Golf events from 2022-25. It is the latest million signature event added to a schedule increasingly full of them. Three of the four weeks between the Masters and the PGA Championship feature signature events, causing many star players to pick their spots. Some of the sport’s biggest names are not in the field this week, namely Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland, Xander Schauffele and Ludvig Aberg of Sweden. Patrick Cantlay withdrew midweek. “Ideally this wouldn’t be the way,” Australia’s Adam Scott said. “It was a little bit, you know, it’s one event we’re talking about, so it makes that much of a difference adding one, it makes that much of a difference taking one away. I think we’ve got to get through this year and hopefully the schedule looks a little more balanced next year.” Of the 72 golfers in the field, only two previously won at Doral: Englishman Justin Rose in 2012 and Scott in the final edition in 2016. “The course is playing really nicely,” Rose said Tuesday. “There wasn’t a ton of wind which I think is a huge factor on this golf course. The rough is, I would call it in the fair department, for sure. Obviously you can get some fliers, get some balls that sit down, get some tricky shots out there all the time. “Greens are relatively big, especially when the wind is not blowing as much. But obviously there’s a lot of little sections to the greens that, as the weather gets a little tougher, or should you get some gusty winds you kind of, I think incrementally this course gets harder and harder.” True to its name, the Blue Monster is known for the prevalence of water hazards on nearly every hole of the par-72, 7,739-yard course. The two par-5s on the back nine, Nos. 10 and 12, will play 608 and 667 yards long, respectively. “There’s not really many tricks to this golf course. It’s just very, very difficult,” Scottie Scheffler said. “It’s a flat piece of land. There’s just a lot of bunkers, a lot of water and the golf holes are long. So with that combination, it’s going to be tough.” This tournament will mark Scheffler’s first professional rounds at Doral. He finished runner-up at his past two starts, the Masters and RBC Heritage, but is still searching for his first win since The American Express in January. Other notables in the field include Collin Morikawa, Cameron Young, Englishman Tommy Fleetwood and Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama. Then there’s the newest member of the PGA Tour, Alex Fitzpatrick of England, who received a PGA Tour card through 2028 and entry into the rest of this year’s signature events when he and brother Matt Fitzpatrick won the Zurich Classic on Sunday. “I don’t have a clue what’s going on, I’m not going to lie to you,” Alex Fitzpatrick said of his upcoming schedule culminating in the PGA Championship. “Yeah, just hearing that, you know, you’re playing against the best players of the world all of a sudden and even like the purses are obviously much bigger and, yeah, I’m just excited to be here and hopefully play some good golf.” –Field Level Media #Deadspin #PGA #returns #Doral #decade #absence #Cadillac #ChampionshipApr 18, 2026; Hilton Head, South Carolina, USA; Scottie Scheffler with his scorecard on 16 during the third round of the RBC Heritage golf tournament.

Deadspin | Jack Draper to miss French Open due to knee injury Mar 20, 2026; Miami Gardens, FL, USA; Jack Draper (GBR) serves against Reilly Opelka (USA) (not pictured) on day four of the 2026 Miami Open at Hard Rock Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Geoff Burke-Imagn Images Britain’s Jack Draper will miss the rest of the clay court season, including the French Open, as he continues to deal with a tendon issue in his right knee. “My knee is on the mend and I’ve started back hitting balls but unfortunately I have been advised not to play Roland Garros,” Draper posted on Instagram on Wednesday. “As gutting as it is to miss another Slam, the advice is not to rush straight back into playing five set tennis on clay.” Draper, 24, did not play in Monte Carlo earlier this month and on April 13 was forced to retire in the third set of his first-round match at Barcelona, his only clay court match of the season. He then announced his withdrawal from back-to-back ATP 1000 tournaments in Madrid last week and Rome in early May. Draper had been working his way back from a separate injury, bone bruising in his serving arm, that limited him to just one match last year after exiting Wimbledon. He returned to ATP Tour action in February at the Dubai Tennis Championships then lost to Daniil Medvedev in the quarterfinals at Indian Wells in early March. He then fell to Reilly Opelka in the first round of the Miami Open before retiring in his first-round match against Tomas Martin Etcheverry in Barcelona. “Off the back of the arm injury I sustained last year, I’ve been restricted with my training and by giving myself the time to heal and build, I can be the player I want to be out there once again,” Draper said on Instagram. The three-time ATP Tour title winner has a 5-4 singles record in 2026 but has not won a match since beating Novak Djokovic in the Round of 16 at Indian Wells on March 11. Currently ranked No. 28, Draper’s extended absence means he will likely drop out of the men’s tennis top 100, a huge fall from his No. 4 ranking in June 2025. His best finish in a Grand Slam was his semifinal appearance at the 2024 U.S. Open. –Field Level Media #Deadspin #Jack #Draper #French #Open #due #knee #injuryMar 20, 2026; Miami Gardens, FL, USA; Jack Draper (GBR) serves against Reilly Opelka (USA) (not pictured) on day four of the 2026 Miami Open at Hard Rock Stadium.
