Justin Rose sends Tommy Fleetwood message after Everton announcement

Justin Rose has challenged Tommy Fleetwood to a match after Everton made an announcement on Thursday.

The Blues announced that the Hill Dickinson Stadium is set to be taken over by Upper Deck Golf from 16 July to 19 July.

The stadium will be transformed into an interactive golf experience, and there will be coverage of The Open Championship, which takes place at Royal Birkdale, just a few miles away.

Fleetwood, a Toffees supporter, and Rose will be competing in that tournament, and the latter suggested they should play in the L3 arena first.

Everton have made a clever move, given that it will coincide with the competition.

What did Rose say to Everton fan Fleetwood?

Fleetwood is one of the most prominent celebrity Everton fans, and he may well fancy the challenge given his association with David Moyes‘ side.

Rose took to X on 16 April to send a message to Fleetwood, claiming the Blues will likely sort them a time to play.

He said: “I’m in the area that week!!

“Fancy a match Tommy Fleetwood, before The Open??

“Sure, Everton can sort us a tee time!!”

How the Friedkin Group pulled off another masterclass

The Friedkin Group have constantly shown their business acumen since taking over on Merseyside, and they have done it once again, making the most of the new stadium.

Golf is a very popular sport in the United Kingdom, and given that The Masters has just finished and the Open Championship is held locally this year, they have tapped into that and will probably make a decent profit.

It is not a surprise that they are in touch with the sport, as they run the Congaree Golf Club in South Carolina, which has held events for the PGA Tour.

The ownership has shown that they are willing to do whatever it takes to secure extra revenue for the L3 club, especially when it comes to using the stadium to their advantage.

It is brilliant to see competent decision-making that uses the facilities that are available to make the most money that the club can from its state-of-the-art arena, as they should.

Hopefully, it will all work out and Moyes’ side will qualify for Europe this campaign, only increase their commercial opportunities, and get to a point where they are challenging for the biggest honours once again after years of misery.
