Phil Mickelson

A group headed by former Los Angeles Dodgers owner Peter O’Malley and including pro golfer Phil Mickelson reached agreement Monday to buy the San Diego Padres from John Moores.

The purchase price is believed to be around $800 million.

O’Malley is the son of Walter O’Malley, who bought the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1950 and moved them to Los Angeles before the 1958 season.

“An agreement has been confirmed but is not yet finalized. It has to be voted on,” Padres senior vice president, public affairs, Sarah Farnsworth said after San Diego beat the Chicago Cubs 2-0 Monday night.

Major League Baseball owners must approve the agreement. They are scheduled to meet later this month.

U-T San Diego first reported Monday night that a purchase agreement had been signed.

The purchase price apparently includes the $200 million in upfront money the Padres received from Fox Sports San Diego in a $1.2 billion, 30-year TV deal.

The agreement came months after Jeff Moorad’s attempt to buy the team on a layaway plan fell apart. Moores’ deal with Moorad, who began his attempted purchase of the club in 2009, was valued at about $500 million.
