Trying to Displace NFL With Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, $200 Million Retired Warrior on Investing in Tiger Woods’ League: “When Football Season Is Over…”

NBA players are thinking about life beyond basketball way before they retire. To multiply their investments, they use their name recognition to increase their net worth. Therefore, it is not surprising to see them become a part of a big-time endeavor. And what better way to increase your net worth than investing in another sport?

Stephen Curry invested in TGL, which is the brainchild of Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy. among others. Getting his stake in a team based in San Francisco has to be a dream for the player who showed great golfing chops this year. He is also joined by someone who has built a solid portfolio considering life after basketball.

Stephen Curry and his teammates get a breakthrough

TGL can be a sign for times to come. The concept of team-based golf is nothing new but doesn’t exist in a league form. This league is set to challenge both PGA and LIV, which formed a partnership this year. Therefore, investing early can be a big boost to future capital building.

This is why Andre Iguodala and Klay Thompson also bought stakes in the San Francisco-based franchise alongside golf lover Curry.

Iggy and Thompson have joined as Limited Partners for the Lasry Avenue Sports Funds. This venture is the product of Mark Lasry, who is the ex-owner of the Bucks.

At any rate, Iguodala who announced his retirement today spoke about the decision. Talking to Andscape, he stated, ”The TGL league has started up and it is going to be a great atmosphere for Monday night prime-time sports. You only see that in football, but when football season is over, there’s really no prime-time spot. In most cities in America — East Coast, Midwest — you got Top Golf, you got Five Iron Golf, you got all these different ways to participate in the game coming out of the pandemic where golf just exploded in participation in America”.

He also talked about his role alongside Curry and Thompson.

The trio to have a big say

He also said,” We haven’t come up with a name yet, but myself, Klay and Steph will be heavily involved with decision-making and marketing. We’ll be active participants in the building of an organization. We’re going to be very active and I’m really looking forward to this one.”

The 2015 Finals MVP has been working for a long time on ways to generate wealth after his retirement. He is famous for big-time investments and is known for his partnership with Rudy Cline-Thomas. The two have built Mosciac General Partnership which is worth $200 million.

Apart from this ownership ship bid, he also has a stake in Bay Area professional Football club Bay FC. How will his latest venture pan out?
