Although Ohanian, an entrepreneur, is not an avid golfer, he is the co-owner of the Los Angeles Golf Club. It competes in the TGL tech-forward golf league. Serena and her sister, Venus Williams, are co-owners of the club.

Clark is one of the most high-profile basketball athletes; however, she has brought a lot of attention to golf since last year. In November, Clark participated in The Annika at Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Florida.

"I loved Serena Williams," Clark said. "She was probably my favorite athlete of all time. I just thought she was the greatest. And as a young girl, having someone like her to look up to was incredible."

Although Clark played tennis in hopes of following Williams' footsteps, it didn't last long. She said that she took up the game when she was 10, but gave up quickly because she "got mad at the instructor." Clark added that she felt the game was too easy.
