Partnership brings leading security technology and best-in-class live event guest experience to new international golf league

Evolv Technology (NASDAQ: EVLV), a leading security technology company pioneering AI-based solutions designed to help create safer experiences, today announced a new partnership with Boston Common Golf, one of six teams in TGL presented by SoFi, the new golf league created by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy in conjunction with the PGA TOUR.

Evolv is now an “Official Partner of Boston Common Golf,” who will use the Evolv Express™ systems to screen guests upon entry to SoFi Center, the new purpose-built venue at which Boston Common Golf and the other TGL teams will play their matches. SoFi Center, located in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., is a tech infused, custom-built arena with more than 1,500 fans wrapped around TGL’s field of play, which is about the size of a football field. Fans will watch as players hit their shots from real grass and sand boxes to play custom-designed, virtual holes projected onto a 3,400-square-foot screen (64’x53’), nearly 24 times larger than a standard golf simulator screen (16’x9’).

Each TGL team is comprised of four PGA TOUR players. The Boston Common Golf roster includes Rory McIlroy, Keegan Bradley, Adam Scott, and Hideki Matsuyama. TGL matches will start in January on ESPN.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Boston Common Golf,” said John Baier, Evolv’s Vice President of Sports. “Each year tens of millions of sports fans around the world enjoy the security and guest experience benefits of Evolv’s systems. We’re confident that fans at SoFi Center will enjoy an exciting new live golf format from the moment they arrive.” Baier also noted that “as a company based in the Boston area, Evolv takes extra pride in the company’s support for local teams.” Boston Common Golf becomes Evolv’s sixth official area sports partnership, joining the Boston Red Sox, Boston College, New England Patriots, New England Revolution, and TD Garden Arena.

“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,” said Boston Common Golf President & CEO Mark Lev. “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.”
