Los Angeles Golf Club, the first team announced for Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy’s tech-infused TGL, has a bit more support ahead of the league’s January start.
NBA star and two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, as well as his brothers Thanasis, Kostas and Alex, have invested in LAGC, which is owned by Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, Serena and Venus Williams.
If you’re unfamiliar with the plans for TGL, here’s the format:
Six teams of three PGA Tour players will compete in 15 regular-season Monday night matches, followed by semifinals and final matches, starting January 2024. The matches will be played at a tech-infused, short-game complex, and fans will be able to see every shot live over a two-hour broadcast on primetime television.
