TGL presented by SoFi, the prime-time, team golf league backed by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy’s TMRW Sports, announced Shriners Children’s as its fourth Founding Partner and official children’s hospital partner. Shriners Children’s is the first new partnership for TGL’s second season, which returns this winter to ESPN and its roster of global media partners.

“Partnering with TGL presented by SoFi gives our international healthcare system a powerful new platform to share our mission with sports fans across the globe,” said Leslie D. Stewart, M.D., chairman of the Board of Trustees of Shriners Children’s. “Shriners Children's experienced and innovative medical teams provide hope and healing for children around the world, regardless of their families’ ability to pay. Aligning with a league founded by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy will help us reach the next generation of supporters and improve the lives of more children in more places.”

“After a successful inaugural season, interest in TGL presented by SoFi has been strong and increasingly active as we approach our second season this winter. As our fourth Founding Partner, Shriners Children’s recognizes not only the engagement TGL has generated within sports, but more importantly the connections it’s making with families, especially kids,” said Jason Langwell, chief revenue officer of TMRW Sports. “With its long-standing commitment to golf, Shriners Children’s recognizes the opportunity for TGL’s prime-time platform and fast-paced action to connect with the audiences that support the healthcare system’s mission in providing high-quality pediatric specialty care and innovative research. We look forward to welcoming Shriners Children’s, its supporters, and the families they help to SoFi Center.”

Shriners Children’s partnership includes Children’s Day presented by Shriners Children’s, national ad spots, fundraising opportunities, in-competition integrations, venue activations, and digital and social media content. Patients from Shriners Children’s will also receive unique opportunities to interact with the world’s top golfers during TGL matches as they share their stories of resilience and hope from Shriners Children’s changing their lives. As a leading pediatric healthcare system, the nonprofit Shriners Children’s is TGL’s fourth Founding Partner, joining Genesis, Best Buy and Businessolver, which were announced as part of Season 1, and SoFi as Presenting Sponsor and Naming Rights Partner for SoFi Center.
