Shonda Rhimes is in her golf girl age.

The acclaimed television producer and author recently announced that she is the newest co-owner of the Los Angeles Golf Club (LAGC), a group founded by golf legend Tiger Woods.

“I’m beyond excited to announce my involvement as the newest owner of Los Angeles Golf Club, the premier team in the @tglgolf league,” Rhimes wrote in an Instagram caption accompanying the announcement. “I can’t wait to bring my passion for golf to this incredible endeavor. It’s an honor to join this team and as someone who believes in the power of storytelling and community, I’m excited to see how we can improve the game together. Let’s embark on this new journey. We are LAGC.”

Rhimes is a co-owner of the club alongside Serena and Venus Williams, Alexis Ohanian Sr. and the Antetokounmpo brothers Giannis, Thanasis, Kostas and Alex.

Los Angeles Golf Club was launched last year to great acclaim as the flagship team of TGL presented by SoFi, a visionary team golf league developed in partnership with golf legends Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy’s TMRW Sports, PGA TOUR and ESPN.

Neal Hubman, club president, said: “This development underscores the club’s commitment to democratizing golf locally while sending a signal to golf fans everywhere that Los Angeles is and always will be a pillar in the next generation of the sport.”

“Los Angeles is the perfect home for our TGL team,” said Ohanian Sr. around the time of the league’s inception. “This city embodies the intersection of sports, technology and entertainment, making it an ideal backdrop for the innovation and excitement we hope to bring to the world of golf and its fans. We see tremendous opportunity to use technology to bring golf closer to its fans and provide an immersive and interactive experience that will captivate both experienced golf enthusiasts and new fans. My wife, Serena, and I enjoyed watching Olympia take to golf, so I’m proud to announce that they are both owners of this club, as is the little one on the way! This is another part of the legacy I’m building for my family, and I hope this team can become a part of many families’ lives as well.”
