Greek Freak Giannis Antetokounmpo has added another noteworthy investment to his portfolio by becoming a part-owner of the Los Angeles Golf Club. Joining forces with his brothers Thanasis, Kostas, and Alex, the Antetokounmpo siblings have made a strategic investment in the Los Angeles Golf Club, one of the six teams set to compete in the upcoming Tiger Woods Golf League (TGL). The TGL, a cutting-edge golf league established by legendary golfers Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, is poised to transform the sport with its innovative approach.
Antetokounmpo’s foray into the golf industry builds upon his already remarkable investment ventures in the MLB and MLS. Notably, in 2021, Giannis acquired an undisclosed stake in the Milwaukee Brewers, a Major League Baseball (MLB) team. Earlier this year, he expanded his investment portfolio by acquiring a stake in the Major League Soccer (MLS) club Nashville SC, a move he made alongside his brothers. Their investments in sports not only reflect their dedication to entrepreneurship but also honor their late father, Charles, who had a professional basketball career in Nigeria and Germany.
Now, the 2021 NBA Finals MVP has embraced a new challenge by joining the ownership of the Los Angeles Golf Club. Giannis enthusiastically announced his latest investment on his Twitter account, where he shared a teaser video for the team, featuring himself and his brothers. His tweet expressed their collective excitement and vision for the venture: “We want to make golf our own and for everybody in LA. @Thanasis_ante43, @Kostas_ante13, @alex_ante29 and I are excited to announce our involvement as investors in @WeAreLAGC – the inaugural team of @TGL. We couldn’t be more excited to shape the future of this sport.”

The Los Angeles Golf Club’s inaugural team was previously announced by tennis icon Serena Williams, who formed the initial investment group alongside her sister Venus Williams and Alexis Ohanian, the founder of Seven Seven Six (776). This dynamic partnership underscores the broad appeal of the venture and the enthusiasm it has generated within the sports community.
With the inaugural season of the Tiger Woods Golf League scheduled for January of next year, Giannis Antetokounmpo’s involvement adds a new layer of excitement to the burgeoning world of modern golf competitions.
