Alexis Ohanian isn’t just Serena Williams’ biggest cheerleader or a tech mogul with a golden touch—he’s also a massive sports enthusiast. And when it comes to golf? Let’s just say his excitement goes off the charts. Now, with the much-anticipated launch of the TGL Golf League—a brain𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 of Tiger Woods and Rory Mcllroy—Ohanian is once again proving why he’s one of the most passionate voices in the sports world. Known for diving headfirst into innovative ventures, he’s clearly got his sights set on the league that’s promising to revolutionize golf with tech-savvy formats and prime-time thrills.
The inaugural season of TGL will be launched on Tuesday, January 7, and is already capturing attention for its tech-infused nature. Now, taking the excitement to yet another level, Ohanian has shared a sneak peek into what the viewers might witness on Tuesday as they engage with the launch of the event, and he gave a mega shoutout to ESPN as well.
Taking to his X handle, Ohanian expressed his excitement for the launch of the event and wrote, “Can’t wait for yall to see this – appreciate all the @ESPN integration for @TGL opening night tomorrow.” Remember, ESPN is the official broadcasting partner for the tournament, which will feature various matches on its different platforms. Ohanian, on the other hand, is also a stakeholder in the event.
The Reddit co-founder is also the co-owner of Los Angeles Golf Club, the first team in Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy’s tech-infused golf league, TGL. Interestingly, his daughter, Olympia is also a stake-holder in the same team, the deal for which was signed in 2023. The event, meanwhile, is not just capturing attention for the thrill it will bring for the fans but also the changes that the audience is anticipated to witness.
TGL will feature a multi-story competition screen and a 360-degree putting turntable. The screen is a crucial part of the Plam Beach SoFi Center, as the golfers will tee it up against it. It is around 24 times bigger than the normal simulator screen with its actual size being 53’x64′. The primary idea behind the adventure is to amalgamate the traditional aspects of the game with technology. And being a tech-mogul himself, Ohanian could not be more excited.
However, when it comes to golf, it is not just Ohanian who fails to keep his excitement under control. His daughter, Olympia, is also an equally big fan of the sport, and the father-daughter duo are often seen engaging themselves on the golf courts. And guess what? Olympia is truly amping up her s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁s.
When Alexis Ohanian revealed daughter’s Golfing s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁s with a proud message
It was in 2023 when Alexis Ohanian gushed over his daughter’s golfing s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁s with a proud message on X. “Y’all are not ready for her 😍 Golf is a family thing!” he wrote, beaming with pride. Since then, Ohanian and Olympia are often seen making their way onto the golf courts, especially on the weekends, with the 7-year-old practicing the sport with immense passion. Over the months, she now seems to have strengthened her s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁s and one of her biggest cheerleaders is his father.
Taking to his Instagram account on January 3rd this year, Ohanian shared a video of Olympia hitting some amazing golf shots. Like any other proud dad, Ohanian seems to be in complete awe of his young daughter. Sharing words of admiration for Olympia, Alexis Ohanian lauded her golfing s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁s. “So proud of this girl @olympiaohanian,” he wrote. Interestingly, in one of the previous stories, he shared a picture of himself as well trying to play a shot. Captioning it, he wrote, “At least the view is nice,” signifying how his daughter is flaring better than him.
Now, with golf witnessing an amalgamation of tradition and technology, it will be interesting to see how the father-daughter duo react to it as it launches on Tuesday.
