Three companies relatively new to Southern Nevada have formed a partnership to collaborate on bringing sports and entertainment brands together with hospitality.

Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp., Sphere Entertainment Co. and Oak View Group on Thursday announced the founding of Crown Properties Collection.

The purpose of Crown Properties will be to “manage marquee partnerships with sports and entertainment brands and venues worldwide,” according to a release issued by the three companies.

Jay Voelker, who served as senior vice president of business development for the PGA Tour where he oversaw the golf tour’s global sponsorship business, has joined Oak View Group as president of Crown Properties.
