TMRW Sports, the tech-focused sports, media, and entertainment venture founded by golf stars Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy and sports industry executive Mike McCarley, has announced a multi-year commercial partnership with SoFi Technologies, the digital personal finance company.
The deal makes SoFi the presenting sponsor of TGL, and the league’s arena in Palm Beach on the Palm Beach State College campus will be named the SoFiCenter.
Anthony Noto, chief executive at SoFi, said: “At SoFi, we’re on a mission to help people achieve financial independence to realize their ambitions.
“To achieve our goal of becoming a top ten financial institution, it’s critical that we build brand awareness and trust with consumers to become a household name. Investing in sports has proven unequivocally valuable time and time again in helping us unlock this goal.
“From our very first conversation, there’s been a natural alignment between TGL’s tech-forward approach with SoFi’s approach as an unconventional financial services solution.”
Mike McCarley, founder and chief executive of TMRW Sports and TGL, added: "As our first and largest commercial partner, we’re honored to welcome SoFi as TGL’s presenting sponsor and our naming rights partner on SoFi Center.
