Amidst the glitz and glamour of the tennis world, Olympia Ohanian, daughter of Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian, is creating her own way on the golf course. While her mother’s tennis history looms large, Olympia finds warmth and fulfillment in spending quality time with her father, boosting her golf talents and devotion.

Not only does Williams’ daughter have an interest in golf, but she is also the owner of LA Golf Club, an investment done by her 40-year-old entrepreneur father on her part. However, while navigating her young journey into any sport, golf is definitely a top priority for the six-year-old.

She applauded her amazing footwork, and wrote, “Catch the ball in the air and a great show of the shoe!” expressing her thoughts as a proud coach.

Subsequently, Williams also highlighted how she and her husband are trying to find ways to get her into tennis. She added, “Maybe I can push her into tennis by getting other kids to have a group lesson; I think that’s what I’m going to do.” But now, with her growing interest in golf, tennis has taken a step back, in Olympia’s sporting interest.
