Solo artist and singer-songwriter Niall Horan and his investment group Greenbridge Ventures has taken an ownership stake in Boston Common Golf alongside Fenway Sports Group and Rory McIlroy’s Symphony Ventures. In addition to his investment in the team, Horan will also serve as an ambassador for Boston Common Golf, one of six inaugural TGL teams representing Boston and New England.

“Golf has been a lifelong passion of mine and I’m thrilled to be part of this exciting new venture alongside my investment group Greenbridge Ventures in partnership with Fenway Sports Group and Rory, who has been a longtime friend,” said Horan. “I can’t wait to experience team golf in this unique format that merges technology with green grass play. Being able to combine my love for the game and my friendship with Rory into a relationship that helps launch a new concept in golf is truly special. It’s a fantastic opportunity and I think this new league backed by both Tiger Woods and Rory and team will bring a fresh perspective to the sport I adore.”

Last month, Horan toured TGL’s performance lab in West Palm, Florida, where he previewed the technology that will be used during competition, slated to begin in January 2025.

Horan is a multi-platinum-selling singer/songwriter who taught himself to play guitar as a kid in Ireland and began his career as a solo artist following the success of internationally acclaimed boy band, One Direction. To date, Horan has sold over 90 million records, made his full-length solo debut with Flicker, a Platinum-certified and chart-topping album featuring the triple-Platinum single “Slow Hands.” His sophomore album in 2020, Heartbreak Weather, topped the U.K.’s Official Albums chart and Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart. On his third album, The Show, out now via Capitol Records, lead single “Heaven” ranked as the highest new entry on both the Global & U.S. Spotify charts marking the highest volume streaming day of Horan’s solo career.

Over the past year, Horan won back-to-back seasons as a coach on NBC’s The Voice and performed for President Joe Biden at the White House. Horan is currently on the North American leg of his global headline tour “THE SHOW” LIVE ON TOUR 2024.”
