About Motor City Golf Club
Motor City Golf Club’s ownership group is led by Middle West Partners, which was awarded the opportunity to expand TGL’s footprint and is led by principals Michael Hamp, Peter Hamp and Kevin Kelleher, who all have Detroit roots. The Hamp family has been longtime co-owners of the Detroit Lions with Sheila Hamp currently serving as principal owner and chairwoman. For this new TGL team venture, Mrs. Hamp, along with her husband, Steve, are co-owners of Motor City Golf Club.
Founded in 2022, Middle West Partners is an investment platform focused on the consumer retail, sports and entertainment sectors. Middle West’s strategy focuses on investing long duration capital; the partnership believes strongly that the greatest brands and teams are built patiently; and consumer brands in particular don’t often fit into a prescribed timeline.
Adding to the experienced ownership group are Rob Walton, owner of the Denver Broncos, and Jordan Rose, president and founder of Rose Law Group, the largest woman-founded law firm in Arizona history.
Additionally, Middle West Partners is joined by co-owners Kit Hawkins and Vansa Chatikavanij of Present Ventures; technology entrepreneur Kal Somani; Ronin Capital Partners, led by Jay Farner, former CEO of Rocket Companies; and RHC Group, led by Richard Hsiao and Lin Wang, an active sports investment firm and early supporter of TGL; and Eberg Capital, a sports investment platform led by Roger Ehrenberg.
