Dryvebox's mobile golf simulators will be playable at various TGL events and locations, with the simulation company having custom-built branded trailers for TGL teams the Los Angeles Golf Club, Boston Common Golf, and The Bay Golf Club, all to be used throughout the inaugural 2025 season.
Through this partnership in 2024, Dryvebox has held fan activations at the Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands, the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club, the JM Eagle LA Championship at Wilshire Country Club, and the FM Championship at TPC Boston.
Regina O'Brien, chief marketing officer at TMRW Sports, added: "Dryvebox's innovative approach to making golf more accessible complements TGL's vision of leveraging technology to create a modern approach to the game.
"This partnership allows us to extend our brand beyond SoFi Center and engage with fans through Dryvebox's version of technology-driven golf. As we build momentum towards the league's launch in January and beyond, we anticipate all six teams utilizing Dryvebox activations to make connections within their local communities to further build their fanbases."
