Businessman and investor Alexis Ohanian becomes second team owner in new women’s golf league launching later this year.
Alexis Ohanian has joined the ownership group of WTGL, the new team-based golf league for women, marking a significant expansion of the project’s investor backing.
Ohanian joins Arthur M. Blank, owner of the Atlanta Falcons and a founding partner, as the second team owner confirmed for the venture. Los Angeles will be represented in the league, positioning the market as a key hub for the new competition.
Building a Platform for Women’s Professional Golf
WTGL is positioning itself as a premier platform for women’s team golf, designed to showcase top talent from the LPGA Tour. The league’s structure emphasizes team-based competition, a format aimed at creating new narratives and fan engagement in professional women’s golf.
The league is slated to launch later in 2026, with the ownership announcement signaling progress toward that timeline. The involvement of high-profile investors like Ohanian, known for his entrepreneurial ventures and sports investments, underscores confidence in the project’s commercial viability.
Momentum Building for Women’s Golf
The addition of Los Angeles to the WTGL portfolio represents geographic diversity in the ownership structure. Major U.S. markets have historically played key roles in growing sports leagues, and the inclusion of the Los Angeles market suggests the organizers are targeting markets with established sports fanbases and media infrastructure.
Women’s professional golf continues to attract significant investor interest as the sport pursues new formats and revenue streams. WTGL joins other initiatives aimed at expanding opportunities and visibility for female professional golfers at the highest levels of competition.
More details about team rosters, competition format, and additional ownership groups are expected as the launch date approaches.
