Seoul, Korea, March 16, 2026 — Global leading tire Hankook Tire & Technology (Hankook Tire) is set to showcase its "innovative technology" on the world stage as the sponsor of TGL during the 2026 Season playoffs. The doubleheader Semifinals will take place on March 17 (local time) at SoFi Center in Florida, USA.

Since becoming the league’s first Official Tire Partner and Founding Partner, Hankook Tire has strengthened its premium brand presence across 150 countries. By integrating cutting-edge technology with world-class sports entertainment, Hankook Tire has delivered a dynamic brand experience alongside TGL’s six teams comprised of 24 PGA Tour superstars, including Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy.

The Semifinals will feature the top four teams from the regular season, with the second- and third-place teams competing in the first match, followed by a showdown between the first- and fourth-place teams.

The opening Semifinal will see the third-seeded Atlanta Drive GC face the second-seeded Los Angeles Golf Club. The two teams have developed a competitive rivalry, each securing one victory against the other over the past two seasons.

Atlanta Drive GC has shown strong performances in the Singles team sessions, led by Billy Horschel and Chris Gotterup. Meanwhile, Los Angeles Golf Club has demonstrated an advantage in the Triples team sessions through impressive performances by Collin Morikawa and Justin Rose. Strategic gameplay in both individual and team formats is expected to play a decisive role in determining which team advances to the final.

The second semifinal will feature the top-seeded Boston Common Golf against the fourth-seeded Jupiter Links GC. Boston Common Golf, which narrowly missed the playoffs last season, has enjoyed a dominant run this year. With standout performances from Keegan Bradley and Rory McIlroy, the team recorded four wins in the regular season—the most among all teams—to secure the No. 1 seed in the playoffs.

Jupiter Links GC has recorded the highest number of successful plays using TGL’s strategic scoring system, “The Hammer,” during Season 2. In addition, Max Homa and Kevin Kisner currently rank first and tied for third, respectively, in the Singles Holes Won category. With balanced performances from its players, the team secured its first-ever Semifinal appearance. The matchup is drawing significant attention from golf fans worldwide as it features teams led by TGL co-founders Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy.

The winners of the Semifinals will advance to the Finals, scheduled for March 23 and 24 (local time). The Finals will be played in a best-of-three format, with the winning team earning the SoFi Cup and being crowned 2026 Champion.
