There are a few alarming trends developing on the global stage of the worldwide sporting industry. With commerce now taking a more significant role in determining the fate of every sport, the influx of money from wherever possible also determines the stories of some of the greatest sporting icons we’ve seen. For instance, Tiger Woods was just months ago saved from Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund’s $3,000,000,000 onslaught in the shape of LIV Golf. And the players who orchestrated Woods and Rory McIlroy‘s TGL Golf League are back at it again.
After the public betrayal, Woods was given a helping hand to fight LIV Golf with his own endeavor. Now, Apex Capital, the global giants who facilitated that ploy have seemingly teamed up with some of the biggest names in Formula 1 to kickstart yet another global sporting revolution.

Who knew there was so much money in sports? But with the advent of these athletes becoming household names and superstars, their marketability and resources have convinced Apex Capital to channel their investments through the F1 route. So, what’s the plan exactly?
According to Bloomberg.com, “Apex Capital is starting a new fund with backing from athletes including Formula 1 driver Lando Norris to invest in business areas including sports-related technology and entertainment.”
“Possible investment targets for the €50 million ($54 million) fund will focus on athlete performance, nutrition or fan engagement, Apex Chief Executive Officer António Caçorino said in an interview.”
