Rory McIlroy's Boston team to release BTS of 'building' their TGL franchise, to premier on Boxing Day

Rory McIlroy and several other superstars will compete in the first-ever TGL starting on January 7. Ahead of that, McIlroy's team, Boston Common, will release a behind-the-scenes documentary showcasing the creation of the new franchise from the ground up.

Boston Common is majority-owned by Fenway Sports Group, the popular sports holding conglomerate. In addition to McIlroy, the team features Keegan Bradley, Shane Lowry, and Adam Scott.

On Thursday, December 19, Boston Common released the teaser for their upcoming BTS documentary, unCommon: Building a Boston Sports Team. The teaser is narrated by Rory McIlroy, who speaks about his love for the game and his desire to see it grow, become more accessible, and embrace a futuristic vision.

"So I decided to go all in," he continues. "And join in launching a new team golf league called TGL. Sounds pretty straightforward, right?"

"So over the last couple of years, we invited a documentary crew to follow me and the entire team, as we created from scratch a new TGL team for the wildly passionate sports fans of Boston. This is all the ups, the downs and up again of that journey. Who knows where it could go?"

The documentary will be released on Friday, December 26 NESN at 6 pm ET.
