Tiger Woods‘ TGL’s inaugural team, Los Angeles Golf Club, is celebrating its star investor Alex Morgan‘s iconic NWSL Challenge Cup victory with the San Diego Wave. Morgan’s 88th-minute header led San Diego to the win, and she was named the game’s MVP. In an Instagram post honoring Morgan’s success, the LAGC described her relationship with the golfing venture as “one of passion and vision.”
Alexis Ohanian, yesterday, celebrated Alex Morgan’s Challenge Cup win with the San Diego Wave. “Our @wearelagc investor coming up big on the big stage! Well done @alexmorgan13,” the Reddit co-founder wrote.
Los Angeles Golf Club’s tribute features Alex Morgan’s NWSL Challenge Cup-winning moment and her pictures with fellow LAGC investors, including Ohanian. Meanwhile, in a video, the 2x World Champion could also be seen perfecting her swing at the LAGC golf course.“Timing couldn’t be more perfect to honor @wearelagc investor @alexmorgan13 during Women’s History Month, following her game-winning goal and MVP title with @sandiegowavefc,” LAGC captioned the post. Sharing the post, Ohanian wrote, “@alexmorgan can do it all.”
The LA Golf Club further lauded Alex Morgan’s leadership and her work to empower women in sports. “Her leadership serves as a beacon, guiding others to find their confident path forward,”
Alexis Ohanian, Serena Williams, Venus Williams, and the asset management firm 776 hold the majority stake in LAGC. Joining Alex Morgan and Servando Carrasco as LAGC’s limited partners are the NBA stars Giannis Antetokounmpo and Thanasis Antetokounmpo. The LA club is the first of the six teams to join the Tiger Woods and Rory Mcllroy-led TGL.
The novelty golf league was to be launched in 2024. However, damage in the host arena’s construction has delayed TGL’s launch until 2025. Similar to the LA club, other TGL teams have also attracted superstar investors, such as Shaquille O’Neal, Stephen Curry, and Lewis Hamilton, among others.
