Alexis Ohanian Reflects: How Being a Dad to Two Black Daughters Changed His Views on Golf and ‘Daddy Caddies’

Alexis Ohanian cherishes the unique insight gained from parenting his daughters, Olympia, 6, and Adira, 1, with Serena Williams, earning accolades online. In a recent “Gayle King in the House” interview, he reflected on how his daughters inspire his advocacy in women’s sports. Ohanian amusingly noted Olympia’s perception of older men on the golf course as "Daddy Caddies." Their weekend golfing sessions not only strengthen their bond but also reshape his worldview. His journey culminated in founding Athlos, aiming to disrupt traditional funding in track and field.
