Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy’s venture TMRW Sports’ TGL introduced Boston as one of the teams. The $8 billion giant, Fenway Sports Group, shook hands for the franchise of Boston. The team was known as TGL Boston until later, when it was rebranded and renamed.
Boston Common Golf, owned by Fenway Sports Group, has revealed the new logo and colors representing their team. The new logo has a bullfrog with a golf ball on his chest. The colors symbolize the richness of sport and the Irish heritage.
The name Boston Common was taken from the iconic park situated in the middle of the city and was the first public park. The NUCLR Golf shared the latest branding with the fans. The tweet showcases icons, team names, and brand colors.

The reactions were not expected to be as hilarious and negative as they were.
“Cringe”: Tiger Woods’s new league gets berated by golf enthusiasts
After seeing the brands and colors, this fan could not explain it better in words. He chose a puking GIF to express his disgust and disagreement.

Another fan was on the other side and loved the colors, even the frog in the picture.
Love the frog! 🐸

One golf enthusiast was a bit harsh, as he called the whole league garbage.
TGL is trash

Another joined in on disparaging the branding and called it “cringe and wack.”

This fan, though, was on the side of the branding. He compared it with the LIV Golf logos and said it is significantly better than their logos.
Better than anything LIV created.

Writing a paragraph against TGL’s inception, this fan questioned the whole concept and asked if any golfer wanted to watch stimulator golf. He did not stop there and further called TGL “dumb”.
From its inception TGL has been a ridiculous concept. Maybe it’s not intended for golfers because I don’t know a single golfer who wants to watch guys play simulator golf. These logos and team names are as dumb as the concept

Another fan reminded everyone that the same people who criticized the LIV branding are now making things worse than them.
Remember kids, the same people said the LIV team stuff was corny.

Lastly, this one fan assumed that this was made by an intern. How can such a bad job be done for large sums of money?
I hope they didn’t pay a consultant fee to end up with that name 🤷♂️🤦♂️😅.
Probably just threw a few extra bucks on a #SummerIntern paycheck.— FS (@21FrankS) October 30, 2023
