Venus and Serena Williams become owners of first team in Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy's TGL
In a shocking week for Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy there is a modicum of positive news for the PGA Tour pinup boys.
The pair's 'tech-infused' golf league, TGL, has announced, and sold, its first team - Los Angeles Golf Club - to the Williams sisters, Serena and Venus, Alexis O'Hanlon - husband of Serena - and their daughter, Olympia O'Hanlon, according to multiple reports.
The innovative league backed by TMRW Sports, a company owned by both Woods and McIlroy previously said it will begin early next year, with January slated to be the start month.
It, like the Saudi-backed LIV Golf, has a partnership with the PGA Tour. The league will be made up of six teams comprised of three players.
'Los Angeles is the perfect home for our TGL team. This city embodies the intersection of sports, technology, and entertainment, making it an ideal backdrop for the innovation and excitement we aim to bring to the world of golf and its fans,' Alexis Ohanian said via a statement.
