TGL – the new tech-based golf league developed by Tiger Woods’ and Rory McIlroy’s TMRW Sports Group – announced Tuesday that the golfing superstar’s TGR ventures has partnered with pro sports mega owner David Blitzer in the formation of Jupiter Links Golf Club.
Tiger was also named as the first player on the roster of Jupiter Links, the sixth and final franchise for TGL’s inaugural season.
Terms of the investment and the ownership percentages in Jupiter Links were not disclosed, consistent with the announcements for the other five ownership groups.
Woods, Blitzer and Mike McCarley, CEO, TMRW Sports and TGL, made the announcement Tuesday.
“Through its use of technology, TGL is a modern twist of traditional golf and ultimately will make the sport I love more accessible,” Woods said. “Having the opportunity to not only compete, but also own a team to represent Jupiter is an exciting next chapter for me.
“I expect Jupiter Links GC to showcase the golf culture of my hometown as we compete against the best players in the world,” Woods added.
“Tiger Woods is one of the most influential and iconic athletes in the history of sports and I’m thrilled to partner with him to form Jupiter Links GC,” said Blitzer, who founded Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment with Josh Harris, their portfolio including but not limited to the Philadelphia 76ers, New Jersey Devils, Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., and Joe Gibbs Racing.
“Golf is a sport that has a proven ability to bring people together from all over the world,” he added, “and I’m excited by the potential reach and impact we can have as a team and league.”
TGL presented by SoFi, is the tech-forward, prime-time team league developed by TMRW Sports in partnership with the PGA TOUR.
