LPGA TOUR Star Gains Ownership in TGL Franchise

An LPGA Star is making a splash in professional golf in a different way, finding herself as a member of the ownership group of a TGL franchise.

Rose Zhang has officially become a member of The Bay Golf Club’s ownership group, which includes people like NBA champions Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Andre Iguodala, and the Avenue Sports Fund, which former Milwaukee Bucks owner Marc Lasry leads.

Zhang is the latest name to join a TGL ownership group in the golf world, as Good Good, the world’s leading golf content team, announced a stake in Los Angeles Golf Club two weeks ago.

At just 21 years old, Zhang is opening herself up to a new type of involvement in the golf world. She already has an incredible list of accomplishments in both her amateur and professional careers, but she is now going to be tasked with bringing her unique perspective to TGL’s innovative platform as golf enters its new era.

Zhang said:

“The energy in the Bay Area, with its drive for success and diverse cultures, deeply resonates with me, especially coming from a traditional Chinese household. I want to help drive a different audience to the sport, and TGL is doing a great job of exposing new parts of the game by highlighting players’ personalities and bringing in fun elements. Having grown up playing AJGA events in California and now studying at Stanford, I see this as a chance to give back to the community that shaped my youth golf career while helping create new pathways for the next generation of players.”

The Bay Golf Club is composed of U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark, Ryder Cup star Shane Lowry, rising global sensation Min Woo Lee, and Swedish machine Ludvig Åberg, who won this past weekend at the Genesis Invitational.
