Rickie Fowler, along with fellow US golfers Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas, has announced his intention to invest in Leeds as part of the club’s upcoming takeover by 49ers Enterprises. This American investment group is set to assume control of the club by acquiring chairman Andrea Radrizzani’s controlling stake. Fowler’s interest in the deal has been sparked by Matt Fitzpatrick’s Leeds-supporting caddie, Billy Foster.
Fowler expresses confidence in his participation, stating, “There’s a group of us, myself, JT, and Jordan, who are moving forward with involvement in Leeds. So, potentially, we’ll be a part of it. It’s exciting to have these opportunities. We’re actively exploring the possibilities, and if we’re fortunate enough to be a part of it, great. If not, we’ll continue to support Leeds.”
While Leeds suffered relegation, Fowler acknowledges the allure of attending Premier League and Champions League games, highlighting the growing popularity of soccer, or football as it is called in the UK, in the United States. He eagerly anticipates experiencing the energy firsthand.
Last week, Leeds officially confirmed the agreement with 49ers Enterprises. The American group, which also owns the San Francisco 49ers, initially became a majority shareholder in Leeds in 2018 and subsequently increased its stake to 44% in 2021. The option to acquire Radrizzani’s remaining 56% stake before January 2024 solidifies their position.
Overall, Fowler’s interest in investing in Leeds demonstrates the global appeal and growing prominence of the club.
