Massive Nelly Korda Boost for Tiger Woods’s TGL Hours After Tech League Was Told to Stop Ignoring LPGA Pros

Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy-led TGL took a serious step towards diversity as LPGA Tour prodigy Rose Zhang was announced as an investor of the Bay Area Golf Club. The two-time LPGA Tour winner became a minority investor in the San Francisco-based team after joining the ownership group. She is already proving that she can be a real go-getter on and off the course.

Along with Marc Lasry’s Avenue Sports Fund, the ownership group includes prominent people like NBA champions Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Andre Iguodala. What a group to be a part of. Rose Zhang feels the same. “To see other athletes like Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Andre Iguodala involved makes it even more amazing,” she stated. “We could not be prouder to welcome Rose to The Bay Golf Club family,” said Marc Lasry, Chief Executive Officer of Avenue Capital Group, who spoke about Zhang’s inclusion.

The Stanford alum’s inclusion means that a possible push for adding female players to the competition is not far off. The newest TGL Investor was on top of the idea. She feels that having female golfers will bring a lot of fresh challenges into the league, which is bound to make it exciting. “It brings a lot of variety with the format that it is — indoor golf, one vs. one or team vs. team. Having diversity really brings this sort of platform to life.”
