Los Angeles Dodgers baseball star Trea Turner and ice hockey's three-time Stanley Cup champion Sidney Crosby are also investing.
In the accompanying video, a statement from CEO Mike McCarley spelled out the venture's vision. It read: "Over the past year we've assembled a team of investors who will help deliver on the TMRW Sports mission to positively impact how sports are experienced in the future."
TMRW Sports aims to use technology as a way to bring golf to younger fans and, to that end, Woods and McIlroy unveiled TGL in August - a tech-focused golf league in partnership with the PGA Tour that will bring that will bring team matches combining live action with digital technology to prime-time TV in 2024.
