Milwaukee Bucks head coach Jason Kidd has invested an undisclosed amount in golf startup 18Birdies after meeting the CEO at a celebrity golf tournament earlier this year.
A 10-time NBA All-Star as a player, Kidd has been passionate about golf for a long time and has used technology to improve his game.
In an interview with SportTechie, Kidd wrote that he has been playing golf since he was a freshman in high school after discovering the sport through his basketball coach, who also coached golf at his school, and one of his basketball teammates who ranked top in the state for golf.
