This match brings together last season’s table toppers, Los Angeles, against last season’s bottom side. Boston Common have yet to win a game in TGL and they succumbed 6-2 to LAGC last season.

Both teams have the same four-man roster as last year, but with Adam Scott and Hideki Matsuyama unavailable, Michael Thorbjornsen will make his debut for Boston Common Golf alongside Rory McIlroy and Keegan Bradley.

Ohio-born, to a Norwegian father and Zimbabwean mother, Thorbjornsen now lives in Wellesley Massachusetts, where he went to high school. Mark Lev, President & CEO of Boston Common Golf says of their Designated Alternate: “We’ve been consistently impressed not only by his elite talent, but by his character and work ethic. As a New Englander, Michael brings a connection to this community that our fans will truly appreciate."

Twenty-four-year old Michael Thorbjornsen is seen as a coming man on the PGA Tour. Rory McIlroy says he is “excited to have Michael join us for our first match. You often see young talent coming up, but it’s rare to experience the future of the game as a teammate.”
