When Serena Williams recently tried her hand at golf, Alexis Ohanian was too tempted not to give it a go himself. But what he did not know was the fact that he was sooner than later going to get addicted to the sport. Now he is even introducing Olympia into it. However, playing it is not the only thing he likes to do. Being a true entrepreneur, he has invested in golf and is not shy in accepting that he is siding with Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy over Greg Norman.
