Tiger Woods: With A Bold $10b Will Tom Brady Step Into Jurassic Park with Tiger Woods in a Push to Revive an Extinct Giant?
In one of the most ambitious and surprising moves of their post-sports careers, golf legend Tiger Woods and NFL icon Tom Brady are reportedly joining forces in a bold, futuristic venture that seems ripped straight from a science fiction movie: a $10 billion project aimed at bringing an extinct species back to life.
The two sporting giants are said to be investing in Colossal Biosciences, a biotech startup based in Texas that specializes in the cutting-edge science of de-extinction. The company has already made headlines for its work to revive the woolly mammoth — but now, it has its sights set on something even more exotic: the moa, a 12-foot-tall flightless bird that vanished from New Zealand centuries ago.
While the moa doesn’t have the ferocious reputation of a T. rex, its size and prehistoric origins have drawn comparisons to Jurassic Park — and the idea of Brady and Woods backing such an effort is as bold as it is fascinating.
According to reports, Colossal’s latest initiative uses CRISPR gene-editing technology to recreate extinct DNA by blending it with the genome of a close living relative — in this case, likely the emu or ostrich. If successful, the result would be a living, breathing modern-day moa.

This isn’t just about science fiction. Colossal’s mission is deeply rooted in ecological restoration. The moa’s extinction left a major void in New Zealand’s native ecosystems. Scientists believe reintroducing it could help restore balance and biodiversity in the region.
Woods and Brady: Sports Legends Turned Scientific Backers
Tiger Woods and Tom Brady are no strangers to bold moves, whether it’s sinking a birdie on the 18th or engineering a last-minute touchdown comeback. But this project shows a completely different side of their ambition.
Sources close to the project suggest that both men were drawn to Colossal’s vision of fusing technology, sustainability, and conservation. Their backing could not only help fund the complex scientific process but also bring global awareness to the possibilities — and ethical questions — surrounding de-extinction.
“We’ve always pushed the limits in our sports,” Woods reportedly told a private gathering of investors. “Now, we’re backing a project that pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in science.”
Brady echoed similar sentiments, noting that their goal is not just to make history in sport, but to help shape the future.

Not Without Controversy
Despite the excitement surrounding the project, it hasn’t come without criticism. Scientists and conservationists alike have questioned whether de-extinction is the right approach, pointing to possible risks:
-
What if the revived species struggles to survive in today’s changed ecosystems?
-
Could it compete with or harm existing wildlife?
-
Is it morally right to bring back animals that evolution — or humans — erased?
Supporters argue that if done responsibly, de-extinction could offer a powerful tool for repairing damaged ecosystems and even combatting biodiversity loss in the face of climate change.
