Leeds United: Golfers Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas buy shares in prospective Leeds owners
American golfers Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas have bought shares in Leeds United's prospective owners - but Rickie Fowler pulled out after the club's relegation to the Championship.
A £400m agreement for 49ers Enterprises to take over Leeds from chairman Radrizzani was reached before their relegation, but a new £170m deal was reached after they went down. The takeover, though, is not yet ratified by the English Football League. Spieth, who has won three majors, said: "It's a big city, historic club, great venue in Elland Road, and once we looked into it we realised it could be really exciting.
