Basketball star Stephen Curry and some of his Golden State Warriors teammates have been announced as part of the new ownership group of the San Francisco Bay Area franchise of TGL, a new tech-infused golf league developed by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy.
Avenue Capital Group CEO Marc Lasry, a former co-owner of the National Basketball Association’s championship team the Milwaukee Bucks, will also be a major investor in the Bay Area team.
Curry, an avid golfer, will join Warriors teammates Klay Thompson and Andre Iguodala in owning the fifth of six teams to be announced by TGL.
TGL, which calls itself a tech-forward golf league that plans to utilize a data-rich virtual course, paired with tech-infused enchantments throughout, will kick off its inaugural season on January 9 in Palm Beach, Florida, CNBC reported.
The league will be split into four-player teams that will compete in a match-play format over 15 regular season matches, followed by semifinals and finals matches.
Currently, 24 PGA Tour stars have committed to TGL’s inaugural season.
A sixth ownership group is expected to be announced in the near future.
