Tom Brady and Kim Clijsters are part of an ownership group for a Major League Pickleball expansion team.
Brady and Clijsters are members of a group.
Clijsters is excited at the investment opportunity. I get to help shape the future of pickleball, a sport I have come to love, with great people, who also happen to be some of my best friends, and that's what excited me the most. I am excited to help showcase professional pickleball and make an impact on the sport through my experience in the top levels of professional tennis.
Big names like Brady and Clijsters are investing in the fund. Draymond Green and Kevin Love are two of the players who are investors in another expansion team.
The league will double its annual events to six as it expands from its current 12 teams. The prize money is expected to go up next season.
This weekend is the end of the MLP season.
