Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout is a popular baseball player. Tiger Woods is a legendary golfer. They are teaming up to launch a new business venture.
Mike Trout announced on his official Twitter account that he and Tiger Woods are creating a golf course. This new 18-hole golf course, named “Trout National - The Reserve”, will be designed by Tiger Woods' company TGR Designs.
The golf course is being designed for professional athletes to enjoy themselves away from their respective leagues. Additionally, MLB is also looking for ways to market their superstar players. For Mike Trout, this is one way to market himself.
Mike Trout and Tiger Woods plan to have the golf course located in Vineland, New Jersey, just 45 minutes away from Philadelphia. The golf course will be open for membership. The project will be launched in 2025.
Why is Mike Trout so valuable?
Mike Trout has established himself as one of the best baseball players in the world. He has posted a career .303 batting average with 350 home runs, 896 RBIs, and 204 stolen bases over 12 seasons.
The 31-year old is also a 10-time MLB All-Star, 9-time Silver Slugger, and has won three AL MVP Awards. Unfortunately, he has reached the postseason just once in his career. But he is hoping for that to change this season.
Mike Trout is one of the best players of his generation and is still continuing to get better every day. Additionally, Trout is a must-watch player because of his exceptional skillset both offensively and defensively. When the time comes for him to retire, he has a chance to walk off into the sunset as the greatest player in MLB history.
