The Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy co-founded TGL league saw a special guest from the LPGA Tour in the stands. Megan Kang attended TGL's Match 8 between The Bay Golf Club and Boston Common Golf on February 17.
The LPGA Tour sensation, who is worth $2 million, was born in Massachusetts and came down to Florida to support her hometown. Boston Common Golf took to their X (formerly known as Twitter) platform to share a video of Megan Kang's reactions during the TGL match.
Upon entering the innovative So-Fi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Megan Kang was stunned by the technology integrated stadium. However, she was left even more in awe with Boston Common Golf's performance.
The World No. 18 golfer was mesmerized by Rory McIlroy's golf swing as well as TGL's signature rule - the shot clock. She said (via X @commongolf):
"Holy smokes! This is sick! I love the screens. Big fan of the shot clock. I've always idolized Rory's swing. The amount of power he puts behind it. When he does go after a driver, he like put his - I guess activated his glutes...I want to swing it like him here...This is super cool. I hope to be a part of this one day. I've always been proud to be a part of Boston, but this makes me even more proud."
