- Second, third and fourth matches scheduled for Friday, January 2; Tuesday, January 6, and Tuesday, January 13 respectively at SoFi Center in Florida

Seoul, Korea, January 2, 2026 — The second, third and fourth matches of TGL Presented by SoFi Season 2, sponsored by Hankook Tire & Technology Co., Ltd., a global leading tire company of Hankook & Company Group (Chairman HyunBum Cho), will be held on Friday, January 2; Tuesday, January 6; and Tuesday, January 13 respectively at SoFi Center in Florida, USA.

As TGL's Founding Partner and first-ever Official Tire Partner, Hankook Tire has a multiyear partnership starting with Season 2. Following TGL’s successful opening match where the company showcased its global unified brand "Hankook" through on-site LED displays, television advertising, and live broadcast coverage, delivering a distinctive brand experience that transcends the boundaries between mobility and sports, Hankook Tire reinforced its premium positioning among fans in over 150 countries worldwide.

The second match of TGL will feature a matchup between Boston Common Golf and Los Angeles Golf Club. Boston Common Golf’s lineup features current PGA TOUR players Rory McIlroy, Keegan Bradley, and alternate Michael Thorbjornson. Boston Common Golf possesses formidable strength, having been identified as a predicted Season 2 championship contender in recent surveys conducted among TGL players and fans, but has never secured a match victory in TGL.

Los Angeles Golf Club boasts strong teamwork with their lineup on Friday featuring Collin Morikawa, Justin Rose, and Sahith Theegala. As the team that advanced to the playoffs as the regular season leader last season, demonstrating exceptional competitiveness, Los Angeles Golf Club holds an advantage in head-to-head records against Boston Common Golf with a 6-2 victory in their matchup last season.

The third match will feature Season 1 regular season runner-up The Bay Golf Club against defending champion Atlanta Drive GC. The Bay Golf Club, comprised of Ludvig Åberg, Wyndham Clark, Min Woo Lee, and Shane Lowry, defeated Atlanta Drive GC in the regular season last season but fell short in the playoffs, missing out on championship contention. All eyes will be on whether they can achieve redemption in this match.

Atlanta Drive GC will be represented by Justin Thomas, Patrick Cantlay, Billy Horschel, and Lucas Glover. As defending champion, they hold records for most Singles session victories in Season 1 and most successful uses of "The Hammer," TGL’s tactical scoring modifier that can increase a hole’s points up to 3 points. After winning the opening match of Season 2, they are establishing themselves as strong championship contenders for defending their title.

Finally, the fourth match will pit Jupiter Links Golf Club against New York Golf Club. Jupiter Links Golf Club, which will be making their Season 2 debut, features golf legend Tiger Woods alongside notable PGA TOUR players Max Homa, Tom Kim (Joo-hyung Kim), and Kevin Kisner. As a Florida-based team, they are expected to seek redemption for last season's loss to New York Golf Club, backed by enthusiastic support at SoFi Center.

Season 1 runner-up New York Golf Club’s roster includes Matt Fitzpatrick, Rickie Fowler, Xander Schauffele, and Cameron Young, who are looking to secure a win vs Jupiter Links Golf Club after losing their Season 2 opening match.

Meanwhile, Hankook Tire continues to lead global sports marketing through partnerships with TGL and prestigious soccer leagues and clubs. The company enhances brand recognition through partnerships with UEFA Europa League and UEFA Europa Conference League organized by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA), German Bundesliga powerhouse Borussia Dortmund, and Saudi Arabia's Al Ittihad.
