Golf and Tennis
On the amateur side of the sports, there are many weekend athletes who play both golf and tennis. From a business standpoint, there are also many companies who sponsor both sports given their similar and very desirable demographics. Now, it seems that the top athletes in the respective sports are starting to join each other’s fan clubs! At the 2006 U.S. Open, Tiger Woods came to cheer on his friend, Roger Federer who later repaid the favor in Japan. At the 2007 Australian Open, Michelle Wie, golf’s young female phenom has been making the rounds of Melbourne Park cheering on the top tennis players. Wednesday, Wie, who is represented by the same agent as Serena Williams, was sitting in Serena Williams' box during Serena’s second round victory over Anne Kremer. Look out for Serena on the links later this year!
