TGL, the new tech-inspired golf league started by Tiger Woods' TMRW Sports and the PGA Tour, has recently announced their fifth team set to play in San Francisco. This team is led by Marc Lasry's Avenue Sports Fund and Stephen Curry, with his teammates Klay Thompson and Andre Iguodala also joining the ownership group.
"Avenue is thrilled to be working with Stephen Curry, in partnership with TMRW Sports, as a founding TGL team," said Lasry in a written statement. "We are very excited to become stewards of TGL San Francisco and to represent Northern California - the center of tech innovation - and the ideal location for a TGL team."
"As we prepare for the inaugural season in January 2024," Lasry continued, "we look forward to building a strong team of players, with Andre and Klay as part of the ownership group."
This news comes after the announcement that the Milwaukee Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo and his brothers, along with the Williams family and Alexis Ohanian, have joined The Los Angeles Golf Club as investors.
With these teams, plus the previously announced Atlanta Drive GC, TGL Boston, and TGL New York, the league is all set for its first season on Tuesday, Jan. 9, on ESPN and ESPN+. While the names of the Boston, New York, and San Francisco teams have yet to be released, the future of the league is looking bright.
