$140 Million Worth Mike Trout Shocks the World by Teaming Up With Golf Legend Tiger Woods For an Ambitious Project

The ultimate showdown of Major League Baseball, the regular season 2023, is now merely a couple of days away. With it, World Baseball Classic runner-up, the iconic Mike Trout, has come up with one big announcement. Growing up, aside from playing baseball, the Angels’ slugger was profoundly interested in playing golf. Trout is widely considered one of the greatest players of modern baseball. But he could’ve easily taken up golf as a career if he wasn’t playing ball.

While still playing baseball for American League’s Los Angeles Angels, the iconic Mike Trout has started working on his golf dream. Thus, for it, he collaborated with golf legend Tiger Woods and his golf course design company, TGR Design. 

What does the dream of Mike Trout look like?

Taking to Instagram, the three times AL MVP posted a snippet of his dream golf course that is getting constructed right now in Vineland, New Jersey. As he posted the video on his feed, he wrote beside it, “We promised you all a big announcement and here it is! Golf has always been a huge part of my life so we are excited to be able to make a longtime dream of mine a reality, with none other than @tigerwoods and @tgr.design. We can’t wait to share more updates with you as we create Trout National – The Reserve.”

Trout’s dream is now becoming a reality; the Reserve is set to open in 2025. Its location, Vineland, New Jersey, is just a short drive away from where the iconic player himself lives in Millville. Aside from the 18-hole championship golf course, Trout National- The Reserve will also offer a flexible short course. Additionally, it will have an expansive putting course along with world-class practice facilities and a performance center. 

Who better to help the Angels’ star in creating his dream a reality other than the golf legend Tiger Woods? And that’s why, while making the announcement to his fans, Trout thanked Woods and his golf course design company for all the help. However, Trout fulfilling his golf dream did not sit well with baseball fans.

What are fans saying about Trout’s dream?

Instead of appreciating Mike Trout for fulling his dream, baseball fans are brutally bashing the slugger. Most of them want him to focus on baseball and the changes that the game needs. 

Users on Instagram said, “How about investing in by fixing up the baseball fields and bleachers”, “Focus on baseball, you’ve struck out 6 consecutive times”, and “This is really disappointing. Golf courses are an extremely wasteful use of land.”
