McIlroy narrates: "I love the game of golf.
"And now, I want it to grow, become more accessible and help bring it into the future.
"So, I decided to go all in and join in launching a new team golf league called TGL.
"Sounds pretty straight forward, 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."
