The Los Angeles Golf Club, a prestigious and historic golf course, recently welcomed an extraordinary trio of new members: Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, his wife and tennis legend Serena Williams, and her equally accomplished sister, Venus Williams. The addition of these high-profile members highlights the club’s commitment to diversifying its membership while celebrating the passion for golf shared by these renowned athletes and entrepreneurs.

Alexis Ohanian already has a background in sports investment because of Angel City FC, the women’s football team. And since his daughter Olympia takes golf lessons, it only brought him closer to the sport for the first time. But what actually made him decide that TGL was the way to go was a phone call from a long-time friend, and golf legend, Tiger Woods.

Serena Williams’ husband Alexis Ohanian got convinced to invest in TGL due to Tiger Woods

Just last month the team franchises for the Los Angeles Golf Club have been awarded and it went to this dynamic trio of the Williams sisters and Alexis. Alexis mentioned that before his daughter started taking golf lessons, he was completely ignorant about this sport and had no clue about it.

However, after he got a call from his long-time friend and legendary golf player, Tiger Woods about a pitch related to TGL. It was this phone that made him switch his mind to use his tech mindset to shrink down golf into smaller clips so people can watch it easily and this will also make these clips more shareable and bring more audience to the sport.

In an interview with Financial Times, he shared his approach to the same. He said, “For the first time ever, you’re going to get to see these crucial moments. These moments will feel spectacular for a casual fan just scrolling through their feed thinking ‘Wow this is a lot more fun than I thought golf was’.”

Like always, Alexis’ approach to this sport seems quite innovative and if you are a golf fan, we are sure you must be excited to find out how this would change people’s perspective towards the same. Not just that, Alexis also shared future plans that he has when it comes to TGL.
