Leeds United investor Jordan Spieth says he is firmly ‘emotionally involved’ in Leeds United amid his investment in the club.

The Whites were the subject of a takeover earlier this week, with 49ers Enterprises completing their purchase, taking full control having previously owned 40% of the club. The San Francisco 49ers owners are a powerhouse in US sport, but there are also a number of other high-profile investors involved at Elland Road

One of those investors is golf superstar Spieth, who joined Justin Thomas in investing in the Yorkshire project, but Spieth hasn’t just invested his money.
