Evolv Technology, renowned for its AI-driven security solutions, has forged a new alliance with Boston Common Golf, one of the six teams competing in TGL presented by SoFi.

This innovative golf league, spearheaded by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy in association with the PGA TOUR, will see Evolv Technology stepping in as an 'Official Partner of Boston Common Golf'. The partnership involves deploying the Evolv Express® systems to screen visitors as they enter the SoFi Center, the novel venue specially constructed for TGL matches.

Custom-built Arena at SoFi Center

Situated in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, the SoFi Center is a high-tech arena designed to host over 1,500 golf enthusiasts around TGL’s playing area, which approximates the dimensions of a football field.

Spectators will be treated to unique gameplay as athletes execute shots from authentic grass and sand setups, targeting customized virtual holes that are projected onto a massive 3,400-square-foot screen (64'x53'), dwarfing a conventional golf simulator screen at 16’x9’. Boston Common Golf's team includes renowned PGA TOUR players Rory McIlroy, Keegan Bradley, Adam Scott, and Hideki Matsuyama, with TGL matches slated to air on ESPN beginning in January.

We’re confident that attendees at the SoFi Center will enjoy an engaging new live golf format from the instant they arrive.”

Baier also highlighted the pride Evolv feels in supporting local teams, with Boston Common Golf joining the ranks of Evolv’s partnerships with other area sports entities, including the Boston Red Sox, Boston College, New England Patriots, New England Revolution, and TD Garden Arena.

Innovative Collaboration

Mark Lev, President & CEO of Boston Common Golf, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating, “Boston Common Golf and TGL are all about innovative spirit, and we’re thrilled to partner with Evolv Technologies, a leader in next-gen venue security."

"Their cutting-edge approach helps ensure fans have a seamless and secure experience, aligning perfectly with the tech-forward vision of this new league. We are thrilled to have them as partners and to be bringing the very best of Boston-area innovation to our team and this exciting new venture.”
