Golf ace Rickie Fowler and two PGA Tour stars in talks to be part of Leeds United takeover

Golf star Rickie Fowler has confirmed his intentions to become an investor in Leeds United.

It was confirmed on June 9 that an agreement had been reached for 49ers Enterprises, the owners of the San Francisco 49ers, to become the new owners of Leeds. The news came just weeks after the Elland Road club were relegated from the Premier League into the Championship.

Andrea Radrizzani had been the owner of Leeds since 2017, but had been seeking further investment in recent years. A deal was already agreed for 49ers Enterprises to buy Leeds for £400m, but relegation from the English top flight led to fresh negotiations over a new price.
