Athletes are often more than just their sport. They see the bigger picture of life after the game. The golf legend, Tiger Woods, is also one of them. He knows he cannot play the game forever, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t wish to contribute to it. Along with being a skilled athlete, Woods is also a savvy investor. He has a vast portfolio of investments, many of which aim to improve the sports world. One such investment of his recently suffered a $150 million disaster.

Ever since turning pro, Woods has not only focused on his game but also his professional life off the course. He has also made several savvy investments in various companies over the years.

Woods’ sports tech investment company take a blow

The 15-time major winner made a blank check investment in Sports & Health Tech Acquisition Corp., which last year announced its plans to launch an IPO worth $150 million. This would value the SPAC (special purpose acquisition company) at $600 million to $1 billion.
