Serena Williams, former WTA queen, continues to blow minds even after her retirement from her beloved sport. Following her astounding success with Angel City FC, she has started a new collaboration with golf icons, Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, in the TMRW Sports’ tech-focused TGL golf league venture. Since the bidding of the six teams was based on geographical affiliation, Ohanian and Serena opted for Los Angeles Golf Club.

Serena, accompanied by her husband Alexis Ohanian, expressed her enthusiasm about the recent acquisition via Instagram.
