Reddit co-founder and investor Alexis Ohanian has disclosed that a phone call from golf legend Tiger Woods was the catalyst for his involvement in the Women's Golf League (WTGL). Ohanian shared the details in an interview, explaining how Woods' outreach led him to invest in the emerging women's professional golf circuit.
The revelation came during a feature by Tom D'Angelo of the Palm Beach Post, part of USA TODAY Sports' Golfweek coverage, published on November 6, 2026. Ohanian, a prominent venture capitalist, has been expanding his sports investment portfolio, with a particular focus on women's sports.
WTGL represents a new venture aimed at elevating women's professional golf. Ohanian's investment signals growing interest from high-profile backers in the women's game, following increased visibility and commercial momentum in recent years.
