Rory McIlroy makes a pretty significant business decision with TPG
In addition to his involvement in golf, Rory McIlroy is a successful businessman. He recently made another massive decision that is expected to greatly benefit him. McIlroy's Symphony Ventures, which was founded in 2019, recently partnered with TPG. The two companies intend to enter the expanding sports market with a new venture named TPG Sports.
Rory McIlroy spoke with The New York Times about how he arrived at this decision. The 2025 Masters winner stated:
"We were talking about what’s the next step for us. The timing was right. Sport is undergoing a big transformation. There is a lot of investment going into the sports world and trying to make it more professional, and trying to bring it into the 21st century.”
Speaking of TPG, it is a global investment firm headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas and San Francisco, California. It currently has overseas assets worth around $200 billion, with the majority of its revenue coming from the media industry. In the future, the company hopes to expand into the sports industry, leading to this collab with McIlroy.
