Serena Williams: a name that screams excellence and resilience. She dominated tennis courts and built an unrivaled legacy, and now, even off the court, she’s doing what she does best—breaking boundaries. Since stepping away from competitive tennis in 2022, the 23-time Grand Slam champ has been wearing multiple hats: entrepreneur, investor, mom, and now, golf team owner. Yep, Serena’s diving into the Tomorrow Golf League (TGL), and it’s as ‘wild’ as it sounds.

The TGL, co-founded by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, is revolutionizing the way golf is played. It’s got high-tech simulators, hyped-up live audiences, and fast-paced team matches that completely flip golf’s usual slow-and-steady vibe. The 23-time-Grand Slam champion co-owns the Los Angeles Golf Club (LAGC) alongside her sister Venus Williams and husband Alexis Ohanian. She recently attended a TGL event on 14th January as her team LAGC played against Jupiter Links GC and shared her thoughts on the exciting venture.

In an interview with ESPN, the American veteran tennis player said, “It’s so exciting to be here as a team owner and just get a different look at things.” Talking about the new walkouts that TGL has introduced to golf, she further commented, “It’s so wild. It’s something you see a little bit in tennis or all the time in basketball, right? We don’t really see it in golf. Actually, we never see that in golf. It’s so good to see their personalities and see them shine as golfers, as they are.”

As for Serena Williams’ golf skills? Let’s just say she’s keeping it real. “No, but I did hit last Sunday, and that counts,” she laughed. It’s her daughter Olympia who seems to be stealing the show on the course, though. “My daughter plays golf. One was playing, and one was rolling around on her back, I am not kidding,” Serena revealed, capturing a very relatable parenting moment.

For Alexis Ohanian, Serena’s husband and co-owner of LAGC, this isn’t just a business venture—it’s family. “To wit, my wife Serena [Williams] and I have enjoyed as Olympia’s taken a liking to golf. This is another piece of the legacy I’m building for my family and I hope this team can become a part of many families’ lives, too,” Alexis shared in a previous interview. Their 7-year-old daughter, Olympia, has shown a real interest in golf, which makes their investment in the TGL all the more meaningful. Their youngest daughter, Adira, is only 1, but the Ohanian-Williams family is clearly laying the groundwork for a future where sports — and TGL — are a key part of their legacy.

But it’s not just business that Williams is balancing. As one of the most successful athletes in the world, she’s also a mom of two, and she’s making motherhood look effortless.

Serena Williams balances being a mother and an entrepreneur

Serena Williams welcomed her first daughter Olympia in 2017, a year after she tied the knot with Alexis Ohanian. The couple welcomed their second child Adira in 2023, after the tennis great decided to sign off from the courts to grow her family. Since then, the tennis star has become a prominent name in the business. The American tennis sensation has her own clothing, jewelry, and even makeup line. The tennis player turned businesswoman also has her own venture capital firm called ‘Serena Ventures’.

Despite being successful on and off the court, she is still a doting mother. In a candid TikTok video, she shared a sweet moment she had with her daughters. The 43-year-old legend got real about how her tennis career didn’t leave much room for the simple things—like sleepovers. Williams had never had a sleepover since she began training to be a tennis player when she was 3 years old. But now she’s doing things missed out on with her daughters.

“So, my girls always say that I’m not normal and I didn’t get a normal life,” Serena admitted with a laugh. Recently, she set up extra cots in her bedroom and had a full-on sleepover with Olympia and Adira. “So everyone, we all stayed in my room and we got extra cots and we jumped in the bed. It was fun. It was a lot of fun,” she shared showing how she balances her legendary career with being present for her kids.

The ex-American tennis player’s journey outside the tennis courts has been just as exciting. With her family-oriented mindset and passion for sports innovation, what’s next for Serena Williams?
