Rory McIlroy Launches Sports Investment Fund with TPG

Rory McIlroy is taking a major step into the business side of sport with the launch of a new investment fund backed by private equity giant TPG. The fund, called TMRW Sports Ventures, will focus on investing in sports-focused media, technology, and entertainment companies, with an eye on reshaping how fans interact with sports in the digital age.

McIlroy, already a co-founder of TMRW Sports alongside Tiger Woods, is expanding his entrepreneurial reach. The fund, which has raised over $200 million in capital, will aim to back early to mid-stage companies operating at the intersection of sport, content, and innovation. It will be led by seasoned investors and former executives with deep ties across the sports industry.

This move aligns with a broader trend of elite athletes becoming more active in venture investing, leveraging their brands and networks to access high-growth opportunities. For McIlroy, it's another step in a growing off-course portfolio that signals his long-term commitment to shaping the future of global sport.
