MLB star Mookie Betts to own first franchise team from new World Bowling League

LOS ANGELES: The World Bowling League has revealed its first franchise team, Team OMG, owned by Los Angeles Dodgers superstar and world-class bowler Mookie Betts, who will be joined by his lifelong friend and business partner with The One Marketing Group, Cam Lewis.
The announcement marks the official launch of the WBL’s franchise lineup, setting the stage for a new era in the sport of bowling.
The WBL, announced in 2024, combines new rules, mixed-gender teams, iconic locations and dynamic team-based gameplay to reimagine the sport of bowling, which is already played by hundreds of millions of people across the world. The WBL, via multiple broadcasting deals in place, will look to deliver fast-paced bowling action across key markets worldwide and provide a global stage for the world’s best bowlers.
Betts is a three-time World Series champion, eight-time All-Star, six-time Gold Glove Award-winner, seven-time Silver Slugger Award-winner and MVP-winner.

He is also a lifelong bowling enthusiast who is ready to lead his team into a new era for the sport.
“Bowling has always been my home away from the diamond,” said Betts. “It’s a sport of precision, mindset and community – values I’ve carried my entire career.

With Team OMG, we want to inspire bowlers and fans everywhere, showing them that bowling has the excitement and the commercial appeal to compete with the world’s best sports leagues. We’re excited to partner with Adi and the World Bowling League, and look forward to bowling along with our team in New York, Dubai, Singapore and more exciting locations.”
The WBL is owned and operated by League Sports Co., a pioneering sports tech holding company that is committed to pushing the boundaries of sports and entertainment.
