- TGL will expand team rosters from four players to five for its 2027 season, the league's third campaign, beginning Sunday, Dec. 27.
- Four established players — Jupiter's Kevin Kisner, New York's Xander Schauffele, Boston's Adam Scott and Atlanta's Lucas Glover — are departing TGL ahead of the new season.
- Brooks Koepka's Motor City Golf Club, the league's first expansion team, completed its roster with Si Woo Kim, Bud Cauley, Jake Knapp and previously announced Jackson Koivun.
- New York Golf Club will feature brother pair Matt and Alex Fitzpatrick alongside Ben Griffin, whose financial-world experience was singled out by the league.
- The Bay Golf Club added Blades Brown and Open Championship winner Ryan Fox, while defending champions LAGC added 17-year-old Korn Ferry Tour graduate Ben James.
- Shane Lowry was traded to Boston Common, which also added Michael Thorbjornsen; Chris Gotterup joined Atlanta alongside multiple-time PGA Tour winner Michael Brennan.
- Tiger Woods' team replaced Kisner with Keith Mitchell while retaining Tom Kim, Max Homa and Akshay Bhatia.
Why it matters: The shift from four-player to five-player rosters gives TGL teams more lineup flexibility but also signals a deliberate generational turnover, with the league leaning into emerging college-and-minor-tour talent rather than retaining all of its original marquee veterans — a bet that the SoFi Center product needs fresher faces to sustain viewership in year three.
