Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank will own one team in new high-tech golf league founded by Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy
Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank is adding a second golf component to his business empire by purchasing one of six teams in Tiger Woods’s high-tech TGL league scheduled to launch in January.
“The players are excited about it,” Blank said. “It’s a different format for them and this will be fun for them. … If it’s fun for the players, it will be fun for the viewers.”Woods, Rory McIlroy and former Golf Channel president Mike McCarley have founded TGL under TMRW Sports – pronounced “tomorrow.” The league, which plans to unveil three more teams soon, will operate in partnership with the PGA Tour.
Woods and McIlroy have commitments from at least half of the top 20 ranked players in the world, including Jon Rahm, Justin Thomas, Adam Scott, Collin Morikawa, Matt Fitzpatrick, Max Homa, Billy Horschel, Justin Rose and Xander Schauffele. The league has not announced how the three-player teams will be formed.
Blank’s Atlanta entry joins the Los Angeles Golf Club, co-owned by sisters Serena Williams and Venus Williams, and a Boston franchise owned by Fenway Sports Group as the first three teams in the TGL.
