The entrepreneur has shown quite a bit of interest in the sport recently and even spoke to the social media icon, Paige Spiranac, about it. He sang high praises of her all over social media, to the blonde influencer ecstatic by the opportunity, responded with humility.

Since first showing interest in the sport last month, the investor has spent a lot of time building his knowledge about it. Aside from following events in the sport, he has now even had a chat with one of its biggest influencers.

The golf beauty undoubtedly deserved all the praise she received. She has, after all, in her own way been growing the sport despite having left her professional golf career behind. But the humble Instagram model was grateful just to be given the opportunity to voice her thoughts to Ohanian.

She always seems to showcase her grace and humility in such moments. Responding to his tweet, she wrote, “Thank you for the kind words and allowing me the space to speak so passionately about this game I love so much!” The blonde social media sensation had clearly done none of it for the praise but just out of her love for the sport.

It was last month that the businessman first expressed his interest in the sport. But what had led to this sudden curiosity? Well, the tennis legend’s husband had just watched The NLU Film Room: Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas at Kapalua. In the hour-and-a-half-long audio-visual, the two PGA Tour stars took on the No Lay Up hosts in a fun game just for fun.
