When it comes to a “Perfect Sunday“, well, it’s mostly either “Papa Pancakes” or “Daddy Caddy“, but at times it becomes both for Serena Williams’ multi-talented husband Alexis Ohanian. A few months ago, Ohanian shared a glimpse of his family moment, featuring him, Olympia, and his father Chris Ohanian, enjoying their time out on the golf course. He captioned that tweet with, “Sundays are for family. And golf .” On this Sunday, i.e., May 11, Ohanian and Olympia were joined by another special guest on the golf course. Who joined them, this time, though?
Now, we all know Alexis Ohanian is an avid sports lover, but has he ever played any sport, though? In a previous interaction, Serena Williams’ husband revealed, “My parents wouldn’t let me play football until high school, which is really what I wanted to play. So I finally played American football when I got to high school. I played basketball. I was not very good, Six foot five (inches), wasted height. I never played tennis, I am learning golf now, and I’m really loving it.“ Talking about taking golf lessons, well, he once claimed, “I’m just trying to learn enough golf to keep up with my 7-year old .”
Ohanian has always been a huge admirer of Olympia’s golfing skills. But how did she find love with this sport? According to Ohanian, “Golf’s been interesting since Uncle Tiger gifted me some clubs for [my daughter] Olympia. She’s been playing.” Now he believes her golfing skills are way better than his own. And recently, Ohanian shared a glimpse of his family moment on X, where Serena Williams was also spotted joining the father-daughter duo for their Sunday golf routines. He captioned that tweet with, “Weekend with the girls.“

Talking about their love for golf, Alexis Ohanian once spoke about how Olympia’s natural talent on the course reminds him of Serena Williams’ unstoppable fire and competitive spirit. While highlighting her passion for the sport through a previous incident, he said, “She totally whiffed on a ball, and once she got so upset, she pulled the club up and was about to smash it. I was like, ‘Olympia…’ and she just casually put it down. I was like, ‘Oh, you got that Serena [Williams] in you.” Having seen that version of his little kid, he also wants to ensure she learns the value of failure, too. Because it’s exactly how countless hours of trying and failing and then practicing again led to success for Williams.
Now, since in this recent picture, Serena Williams was spotted holding a golf club in her hand, does she play golf regularly like her husband and daughter? In a previous interview with ESPN, she claimed, “No, but I did hit last Sunday, and that counts (laughs). My daughter plays golf. One was playing, and one was rolling around on her back, I am not kidding.” After seeing all these adorable moments of their golfing session, there shouldn’t be any question about the family’s love for this sport. But is it this same love that led them to invest in LAGC?
Serena Williams’ husband Alexis Ohanian reveals the real motivation behind their LAGC investment
Well, Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian became a part of the TGL in 2023. While sharing his thoughts about the exact reasons behind becoming an owner of the LAGC, Ohanian had previously said, “My wife Serena [Williams] and I have enjoyed as Olympia’s taken a liking to golf, so I’m proud to announce that they’re both owners in this club as well — as is the little one!” His ambition is to build “another piece of legacy” for his family with this team.
Other than that, there was also a special reason that pushed him to become the first owner of this league. What’s it? “Part of my pitch for why I wanted to be the first owner in the league was because I wanted a women’s team. And so I’ve been bugging these guys for the LPGA deal for a minute. They’ve been very interested. It’s just, these things take time.” Later on, in one of his tweets, he explained how the league has now helped transform its dynamics.
Both Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian are often seen attending LAGC’s matches, and they have been with their team through thick and thin over the years. Recently, Ohanian also shared a heartfelt note for their team after witnessing their exit from the TGL. He congratulated Steve Cohen’s co-owned team through that tweet and also encouraged his own team to come back stronger in the next season. “All the L.A. Golf Club fans, thank you for being such amazing supporters, thanks for believing in our team from the very start. But we have so much more to do, a lot of unfinished business. I am just so proud of our guys, so grateful to all of you day 1 fans. And we will be back, bigger, better than ever before next season. So thank you so much, L.A., and we’ll get back at it.“ Share your thoughts on this golf-loving family in the comment section.
