Overview
- Sport Fishing Championship announced Simmons joined the South Florida Sails ownership group, transitioning the club from league-operated status to local control.
- Front Office Sports reports the transaction closed last month and values the Sails in the high seven figures, with Simmons acquiring a 50% stake.
- Simmons told Andscape he is the controlling operator and majority owner and he will oversee operations rather than compete as an angler.
- The ownership table includes investors named by SFC—Brad Adam, Colten Adam, Zach Smith and Hunter Huddleston—with Front Office Sports adding NBA guard Lonnie Walker IV to the group.
- The three-time NBA All-Star remains a free agent, saying he is doing two-a-day workouts and has not ruled out an NBA return later this season or next while preparing for a larger team role in SFC’s 2026 campaign.
