Steve Cohen’s Mets aren’t exactly off to a dominant start, but the billionaire owner has another team to root for next year.
The newly formed six-team Tomorrow’s Golf League will include New York Golf Club, which is owned by Cohen. According to Mark Cannizzaro of the New York Post, the four-player team will include Xander Schauffele, Rickie Fowler, Cameron Young and Matthew Fitzpatrick.
TGL, an indoor, tech-infused golf league backed by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, will take place at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
“We’re excited to partner with TMRW Sports and represent New York as a founding TGL team,” Cohen said in a statement when he purchased the team last year. “As golf continues to grow in popularity, there’s a demand for enhanced access to the sport and the world’s top players. TGL’s primetime schedule will offer an up-close, fast-paced, and innovative take on the sport that will appeal to traditional golf and new fans alike. We’re excited to be a part of TGL and build a team that makes New York proud.”
Cohen was also involved in the Strategic Sports Group investment of $300 million into PGA. SSG is led by Fenway Sports Group and includes Cohen Private Ventures, Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank and former Milwaukee Bucks owner Marc Lasry.
