TGL’s Los Angeles Golf Club seems to be coming together well. LAGC owners Serena Williams, her husband Alexis Ohanian, and sister Venus Williams have been working toward creating a team worth putting on a massive show in January 2024. A former pro who recently took retirement from golf for good has been in the headlines for her cross-sports interests, ranging from football to pickleball and even tennis.

The 33-year-old golfer made news after her tennis skills subtly were commended by the former WTA queen’s husband, and at that time, the two seemed to have hit a start to something big. Where fans suspected a collaboration between the two, the end results have now been revealed. Things indeed have come full circle.

Speculation and fan theories have always been prevalent in the world of sports. In early August, when the Reddit co-founder replied to Michelle Wie West’s Instagram story of her playing tennis and appeared to give her a nod of approval, the fans speculated something was cooking between the two. Alexis Ohanian responded to West, stating that he and his wife could use her help in their LAGC team in the TGL. At that time, West replied with an excited, “I got you,” creating excitement among golf fans. 

Now, the news is finally out. On Friday, via LAGC’s Instagram, it was revealed that LPGA star Michelle Wie West and Alex Morgan, the United States Women’s National Soccer Team member, were going to join TGL’s LA franchise as investors. 

The post stated, “We are thrilled to announce two new members of the @wearelagc ownership group. Alex Morgan and Michelle Wie West have officially joined as investors in the inaugural club of @tglgolf…”

The post removed all doubts and made it clear that Michelle Wie West was indeed going to be a part of LAGC, creating a full-circle moment for the fans. The good news for the TGL just doesn’t end here. Another massive partner’s name is doing the rounds.
