New York Mets owner Steven A. Cohen is the latest sports figure to purchase a team in the tech-infused golf league being fronted by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy.
"We think New York sports fans are the greatest in the world, and I'm sure Boston thinks that theirs are too," Cohen family spokesman Andrew B. Cohen said.
TGL CEO Mike McCarley told ESPN that the league will announce two additional team owners in the coming weeks. "These original six teams, we're focused on large North American markets with existing fan bases, existing team ownership groups in place," McCarley said."There's some natural rooting interests, some natural rivalries that exist in other sports and between the fans. So I think the ability to be able to tap into those elements that already exist from other sports is appealing.
Cohen is the CEO and chairman of Point72, a global asset management firm. He purchased about 97% of the Mets in September 2020 and is CEO and chairman of the team. "You put something like this together and New York is obviously at the top of the list," McCarley said."We made a lot of calls to a lot of different ownership groups and started talking through with our existing ownership groups of who would make the most sense in which markets. And obviously, Steve continued to rise to the top.
