Thomas and Spieth's investment backfires as football team loses £150m game

Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth - alongside a series of A-list investors - were left disappointed on Sunday as Leeds United fell short in the Championship play-off final against Southampton at Wembley.

Leeds finished third in the regular season, one place clear of Southampton, but Daniel Farke's side delivered an underwhelming performance, failing to break down a dogged Saints defence. They will have to settle for a second successive season in the second tier and must go back to the drawing board after failing to deliver on the biggest stage.

Golf superstars Thomas and Spieth are among those who have a piece of one of England's most historic clubs. Actors Will Ferrell and Russell Crowe and Olympic swimming legend Michael Phelps also own stakes in Leeds.
