Serena Williams‘ husband, Alexis Ohanian, has caused a stir in sports circles with his bold ventures. After investing in women’s soccer, the co-founder of Reddit shifted his focus to golf. Along with his wife and his sister-in-law, Venus Williams, he recently acquired a franchise in the Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy-backed Golf League, TGL. However, the 40-year-old American businessman recently disclosed that purchasing a LA franchise for the golf competition may have been a small push present for his wife.

Similarly, the doting father also gave a considerable investment gift to his 5-year-old daughter, when he invested in a women’s soccer team five years ago. Now, Ohanian seems to have repeated the trick for his tennis legend wife.

The cofounder of Reddit revealed that buying an LA golf club is a present for the American tennis legend. He said, “So, this was kind of a push present to for my wife, Serena. I mean Olympia is also a part owner, just like Angel City. And then we also brought in my sister-in-law, Venus. So, some great LA roots, little-known facts, but I don’t know how little-known it is.”
