Pro golfer Tiger Woods, former pro tennis player Caroline Wozniacki, and former NBA player David Lee were also set to be involved with the SPAC.

The Orlando, FL-based company was founded in 2021 and had planned to list on the Nasdaq under the symbol LDSPU. RBC Capital Markets was set to be the sole bookrunner on the deal.
