Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy TMRW venture teases huge names after Hamilton announcement


Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy 's TMRW Sports venture have teased a whole host of big name investors, after Lewis Hamilton's involvement was announced on Tuesday.

Hamilton was confirmed as an investor by TMRW via an announcement on social media. Taking to Twitter, the innovative sports company wrote: "We're set to announce our investors. In the pole position, @LewisHamilton."

And the seven-time Formula 1 champion was welcomed by McIlroy, who responded: "Excited for a great group of investors, including @LewisHamilton to join @TigerWoods and me on the @TMRWSports team!" Following their social media posts it seems their are still plenty of big name investors to come.

Along with their tweet, TMRW also included a photo of Woods, McIlroy and Hamilton. They were not the only sports stars on their though, with a group of other silhouettes also included which are expected to be rest of the investment team, and eagle-eyed fans think they can already recognise a few.

One fan pointed out that one of the un-faced stars appears to be two-time Wimbledon champion Andy Murray. Taking to Twitter, @DomMathias30 responded: "Reckon I can recognise Andy Murray's shadow and some of the others look v familiar."

Confirming that the full list of star-studded investors would be released on Wednesday, 82-time PGA Tour champion Woods tweeted: "I'm excited to welcome a strong group of investors across sports and entertainment to @TMRWSports.

TMRW Sports was launched by Woods and McIlroy in August, and in partnership with the PGA Tour announced they would be producing a tech-infused golf league named TGL, which will kick off in January 2024. The innovative 15-event series will see some of the PGA Tour's biggest names compete in teams in a virtual tournament in front of a live audience in an arena.

The venture was seemingly introduced as part of the PGA Tour's strong defence against the formation of the LIV Golf Series, that has been able to lure some of golf's biggest names away from the American-based circuit in exchange for mega-money earnings. Arguably the two biggest though in Woods and McIlroy have remained loyal to the PGA Tour, with their role in the sport's ongoing civil war taking place both on and off the course.
