The pair are founders of the new company – pronounced “tomorrow sports” – that will focus on “building technology-focused ventures that feature progressive approaches to sports, media, and entertainment.”
Seven-time world champion and Formula 1 star Lewis Hamilton was announced as the first name in a strong list of strategic investors on Tuesday, and the full list was released on Wednesday morning.
“From the very beginning our plan has been to partner with the best-in-class in every way imaginable and Tiger, Rory, and I value the support of this unrivaled team of investors, advisors, and ambassadors who believe in our vision to harness technology to create progressive approaches to sports,” said Mike McCarley, CEO and also a founder of TMRW Sports.
