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, TMRW Sports. “With its long-standing commitment to golf, Shriners Children’s recognizes the opportunity for TGL’s primetime 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.
