‘Uncle’ Tiger Woods’ Hearty Gesture Might Have Pushed Serena Williams’s Daughter Away From Tennis, Reveals Alexis Ohanian

By
Tiger Woods Olympia Ohanian Serena Willaims Alex Ohanian

At the age of seven, we are pretty sure Olympia Ohanian Jr. has played more sports than any other kid her age.

First, it was soccer, then she was interested in tennis, and now it seems the eldest daughter of Serena Williams and Alex Ohanian is an avid golfer. And all the credit might go to Tiger Woods. Yes, Williams and Ohanian share a pretty close relationship and even share a business with Woods. The Ohanian family owns the LAGC team in Woods’ venture TGL, and even Olympia has a share to her name.

And what else she has is a golf club set gifted by Woods. In an appearance on the Gayle King in the House radio show, the Reddit co-founder shared that he and Olympia Ohanian Jr. started playing golf every Sunday, all thanks to Woods. Talking about Olympia’s sudden interest in golf, Ohanian added, “I’m her daddy caddy I don’t know how to play golf I never played golf but Uncle Tiger gifted some clubs and I was like Olympia you better learn how to play golf.” Thus, their golf journey started, but being a kid, Jr. is more intrigued by her uncle’s name and has asked if it is actually ‘Tiger.’

Regardless, courtesy of her playing golf, Alexis has also bought clubs for himself and is playing the sport. However, he revealed that he usually stays on the range while Olympia Ohanian Jr. goes to the course with her instructor Brittany Ferrante. Olympia turned 7 last month, and her father shared on Instagram how he needed to buy her new clubs as she was growing out of the gift from Tiger Woods. Surely, he would have gifted her the new set and their Sunday golf tradition has been followed. Just two weeks ago, Ohanian posted on Instagram and shared that Olympia made a bogey.

The Reddit co-founder usually shares Olympia Ohanian’s progress with fans on Instagram and it seems unlike soccer and tennis, she has not lost interest in golf just yet. While Ohanian expressed that he supported every hobby of his daughter and didn’t expect her to follow one thing, what does Mama Williams think of Jr. sliding away from tennis?

As an athlete, Serena Willaims surely hoped that her daughter Olympia Ohanian Jr. would follow in her footsteps just like Tiger Woods’ son, Charlie Woods. From an early age, Jr. played tennis to some extent, but slowly her focus shifted to different things. So when Williams appeared on the CBS News’ Person to Person with Norah O’Donnell show, she unveiled how Olympia “doesn’t actually like to play tennis too much.”

Williams shared how it was a bit disappointing because Olympia plays good tennis and she has the talent to be great one day. So what’s the solution? The 43-year-old revealed that she was trying various things to get her back to tennis and said, “Maybe I can push her into tennis by getting other kids to have a group lesson. I think that’s what I’m gonna do.” But it seems that it has not worked yet!

With her father’s support and Ohanian being a daddy caddie, Olympia is in her golfing era and not leaving it soon. Who knows, she may stick to it this time, and Tiger Woods‘ thoughtful gift may give the golf world the next generation of golfing legends!

[VIDEO] How was Tiger Woods No. 1 for so long? He answered with 14 words

By
Tiger Woods No. 1

Jason Day laughs now, because it’s funny to him on a few levels. For one, Tiger Woods answered his question self-deprecatingly. But there’s also a nugget of hard truth to the response that makes Day smile too. 

The query?

What kept you at No. 1 for so long?

Day was talking on this week’s “The Smylie Show” — which you can listen to in full here — where part of the conversation looked at Day’s time atop the golf world, and specifically the commitment to get there. The podcast’s host, Smylie Kaufman, noted that Day’s devotion reminded him of Woods’, and that led to this response:

“You had to have, it was — to get to the best, it’s a lifestyle choice,” Day said on the podcast. “Your whole life has to be in on that goal of being the best. You can’t — it’s very difficult. Some of the guys can do it. Like a Dustin Johnson and some of these other guys, they can naturally just get to No. 1, and just like, how do you do it so easily? … They don’t practice as hard as you or I, they’re kind of just naturally gifted in a way that they can do it and it just doesn’t look like it affects their lifestyle much.

“And then there’s people like me and even Tiger, for instance.”

Woods? Really? At this point in the podcast, Day shared the story of his question — and Woods’ 14-word response.

“I always laugh at this because — hey, what kept you at No. 1 for so long?” Day said on the podcast. “And he would look at me and go, I’m not as talented as you so I had to work harder than you.

“I’m like, that is such a load of crap. You’re way more talented than me. But again, what he did great was that he matched great technique with unbelievable work ethic and also a great mental game. When you have that three-prong effect, it’s just going to give success.”

Was Day more talented than Woods? Did Woods work harder than Day to the tune of 69 more wins than him? (Woods has 82 victories; Day 13.) Was Woods poking fun at himself? Was he jabbing Day? We’ll let you figure that out.

But Day also appreciated Woods’ drive. Day, too, left no golf ball unturned.

“Getting back to being No. in the world, it was, what am I eating, how am I sleeping, is there any drama in my life that I need to get rid of?” Day said on the podcast. “Because the amount of stuff that happens personally at home affects you on the golf course, so you got to understand that having a toxic relationship or having drama off the golf course actually affects you on the golf course. Then you go, how’s my practice schedule, how’s my gym work and then you got to attack it from all different angles and go, OK, well, everything’s working in order, go out and play, and then my goal, if I’m wanting to do it and I’m willing to push it, then you’ll, at some point, if have all those things working in order, you’ll get there.

“But, god, it’s hard.”

Muguruza began playing tennis at the age of three at the tennis courts of Mampote, in Guarenas outside Caracas, and already showed great talent and skill.

After moving to Spain with her family when she was six years old, looking for better prospects in her tennis development, Muguruza began training at the Bruguera Tennis Academy in Barcelona with her brothers, all dreaming of becoming professional tennis players.

After turning professional on 2 March 2012, Muguruza was given a wild card for her first WTA Tour main-draw appearance at the Miami Open. There, she upset former world No. 2, Vera Zvonareva, and former world No. 10, Flavia Pennetta, before falling in the round of 16 to the eventual champion, Agnieszka Radwańska, in straight sets.

Muguruza is an aggressive all-court player, whose game is centered around her flat, powerful groundstrokes. Her groundstrokes allow her to take time away from her opponents and dictate baseline rallies, despite the fact that Muguruza may often refrain from going for the lines, or hitting outright winners.

Serena Williams Date-Night-In Ideas

By
Serena Williams Date

As the world knows, Serena is more than a record-smashing, boundary-breaking tennis champion. Her achievements, on and off the court, make her one of the most recognizable names and faces in the world – the G.O.A.T.

Serena Williams Date-Night-In Ideas.

Homemade Dinner (Or Dessert)

I think shared experiences really connect people, especially when there’s food involved. Date-night-in is the perfect time to try out a new recipe. If it turns out well, you’ve got a delicious home-cooked meal to eat together. If not, well, at least you spent some time making something together. And if cooking’s not your thing, you can always make dessert instead – whether it’s baking (my favorite, of course) or making another type of treat (chocolate truffles, anyone?), it’s a sweet way to hang out with someone you love.

Game Night

By game night, I really mean any type of game you like to play – board games, card games, video games, puzzles, charades, etc. In my case, not surprising to anyone who knows me, it would have to be karaoke and dancing. I’m pretty serious about my karaoke but it helps that, unlike other kinds of games, I usually don’t get too competitive about it so it’s more fun for the people I’m singing with.

Note that I said “usually,” but I can’t make any guarantees. Playing a game together usually leads to laughing, and laughing together is one of the best things. As adults, we really don’t have many opportunities to enjoy each other’s company in that purely fun way, so it’s great to make it a date-night-in activity.

Netflix and…Popcorn

There are so many great shows and movies available out there, but with full-time jobs, kids, pets, multiple side hustles (you get the picture), Alexis and I usually just don’t have time to sit down together and watch something that we want to watch. If anything these days, we’re watching a lot of what my mini-me wants to watch! I’m not complaining, though, because you know I love my Disney, but sometimes it’s good to balance it out with some grown-up content.

Marvel movies and anything fashion-related are my jam. If I’m in a good mood, I might let Alexis pick what we watch…but only if he brings the popcorn. Because you just gotta have popcorn with a movie!
