Serena Williams ‘has absolutely no idea what’s going on’ as TGL team owner looks lost

Serena Williams is a co-owner of one of the TGL teams, as Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy’s vision finally comes to fruition.

Serena Williams’ appearance on TGL didn’t exactly win over viewers on Monday night.

The 23-time grand slam winner may be a legend in the tennis world but it seems she’s got some convincing to do when it comes to golf. Williams’ presence at SoFI Stadium is actually down to part-owning the ‘Los Angeles Golf Club’ team alongside sister Venus and husband Alexis Ohanian.

The team comprises Collin Morikawa, Justin Rose, Sahith Theegala, and Tommy Fleetwood. Although only the aforementioned first three were in action on Monday night with Fleetwood competing in the Dubai Desert Classic.

Williams was alongside Ohanian watching in the stands before joining the commentary booth for an interview and to color commentate for a few holes. But her presence didn’t go down well. At one point in the broadcast, cameras showed Williams looking confused before joining in clapping.

During her interview, Williams appeared to openly admit that watching golf made her miss tennis even more. Asked to reflect on tennis with the Australian Open currently taking place, she said: “I’m obsessed with the sport. I didn’t realize until I was sat here watching golf.”

The public opinion from ESPN viewers soon came flooding in. One posted on X: “Serena Williams knows next to nothing about golf.” Another added: “Serena Williams has absolutely no idea what’s going on and I love it.”

Another posted on X: “This Serena Williams interview might have just 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁ed TLG before it even took two steps.” A different viewer simply said: “Serena Williams has no idea what’s going on.”

In agreement, this X user said: “Serena Williams has no clue what is happening.” And they weren’t alone, another added: “Serena Williams looks awfully confused.”

Finally, on a more polite note, this user said: “God bless her for being there but Serena Williams has absolutely no idea what’s going on TGL.”

Speaking about her involvement in TGL, Williams said: “It’s so exciting to be here as a team owner and just get a different look at things.”

“It’s so wild. It’s something that you see a little bit in tennis, and we see it all the time in basketball, right? But we don’t really see it so much in golf. Actually we never see that in golf, right?

“So it’s just so good to kind of see their personalities and just see them shine as golfers as they are, because they’re usually so focused, so serious and so ready. So it’s so cool to see a new aspect.”

Discussing the format of the competition, she said: “I love this format. I think it’s so cool. It’s such a good way to engage the fans.”
