The team of investors also includes four-time NBA champion Stephen Curry, three times tennis Grand Slam winner Andy Murray, Japanese two-way standout Shohei Ohtani of Major League Baseball and two-time women’s World Cup champion Alex Morgan.
“From the very beginning our plan has been to partner with the best-in-class in every way imaginable and Tiger, Rory, and I value the support of this unrivalled team of investors, advisors, and ambassadors,” TMRW Sports co-founder and chief executive officer Mike McCarley said in a news release.
