USWNT star Alex Morgan is once again making headlines, but this time it’s not just for her performances on the soccer field. The striker recently made waves by joining forces with tennis icons, Serena Williams and Michelle Wie West, to venture into the world of golf. Together, they have made a strategic investment in Tiger Woods‘ TGL. But, little did Morgan know, this move would prove to be a lucky charm as she finally ended her goal drought.

Prior to this breakthrough, Morgan had been experiencing somewhat of an underwhelming performance in her primary sport, soccer. The disappointment of the USWNT’s early exit from the FIFA Women’s World Cup and a challenging NWSL season had taken a toll on her confidence and form.

Alex Morgan finally ends the goal-drought

The recent encounter between San Diego Wave FC and Portland Thorns provided a glimmer of hope for Alex Morgan. Both teams had been performing strongly throughout the season, occupying the top two spots in the NWSL. This highly anticipated match held the promise of an intense battle, and it certainly delivered. Alex Morgan, leading the San Diego Wave, put on a remarkable display, leading her team to a 2-0 victory on the road.

What made this win even more significant was Morgan’s personal achievement. In the 38th minute of the match, she scored the second goal of the match, ending her agonizing run of eight consecutive regular-season matches without finding the back of the net. This goalless streak had been the longest of her NWSL career, making the breakthrough even sweeter.

After securing a significant victory, Alex Morgan’s San Diego Wave has risen to the pinnacle of the NWSL standings. With just two matches remaining, the team is in a sound position to win it all. Hopefully, the 34-year-old can maintain her goal-scoring record. Despite Morgan’s notable achievements in soccer, her recent venture into golf has garnered considerable attention.

All about Morgan’s foray into the golf world

The golf community has been abuzz with excitement ever since golf legends Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy announced the launch of their new golf league, TGL. One team in particular, the Los Angeles Golf Club (LAGC), has attracted some major names as investors. Alexis Ohanian, along with his wife Serena Williams and her sister Venus Williams, are the owners of the team.

Joining this star-studded lineup are Alex Morgan and Michelle Wie West, who recently became investors in the team. Giannis Antetokounmpo, another esteemed athlete who is invested in the team, took to Instagram to express his enthusiasm about these new additions.
