Tiger’s TGL Continues Momentum With Fanatics, Expansion

Three months ahead of its January launch, Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy’s virtual golf league TGL is already starting to look like a top-tier American sports property.

This week, TGL announced the ownership group for its fifth of six planned franchises. Former Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Marc Lasry is partnering with Stephen Curry to head up the team, TGL San Francisco, with additional investment from fellow Golden State Warriors star Klay Thompson.

Meanwhile, Fanatics has been brought on to run TGL’s league and team e-commerce operations, putting the golf league on par with other top American competitions working with the $31 billion mega-company.
