It’s not often that two of the biggest stars across two different sports join forces, but that’s exactly what happened on Monday afternoon after an announcement from Major League Baseball superstar slugger Mike Trout and golf legend Tiger Woods.
On Monday afternoon, the PGA Tour announced that Tiger Woods and Mike Trout were joining forces to create a new golf course called Trout National – The Reserve
“Mike Trout [hand shake emoji] Tiger Woods,” the PGA Tour began in a tweet. “Two of the biggest names in their respective sports announced the creation of a new golf course, Trout National – The Reserve. Set to open in 2025, the course will be built in Vineland, NJ, a short drive from Trout’s hometown.”

I can only imagine that a Mike Trout golf resort will be better than a golf resort created by any other baseball player given that he has long had one more month to play golf each year than than most other ballplayers. Practice makes perfect. https://t.co/NUTigpPz3e

That’s probably not what people expected on a Monday afternoon.
