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.
