Tiger Woods' Hero World Challenge extends sponsorship agreement with title sponsor

Tiger Woods is the host of the Hero World Challenge, which has been sponsored by Hero MotorCorp. The company is a leader in its industry, and they're going to continue being the tournament sponsor for the next six years. The current partnership will end after the 2030 tournament unless it's extended again.

Woods said in a statement via the tournament's website:

“I’d like to thank Dr. Pawan Munjal and Hero MotoCorp for their continued support of the Hero World Challenge. Hero MotoCorp has played a vital role in the tournament’s evolution, growth, and success, and its commitment is felt by everyone who joins us at Albany.”

The golfer also said that Dr. Pawan Munjal, the Executive Chairman of Hero MotoCorp, is a "visionary leader" and a "trusted friend." He stated:

“His progressive leadership has made a significant impact not only on the future of global mobility but also the game of golf.”

Hero MotoCorp is the world’s largest manufacturer of two-wheelers and the extension of the partnership means that the tournament can continue to be played in Albany, Bahamas.

Woods has been the host for several years and has played the tournament in years past, but he's not in the field this time. He had surgery to help with microdecompression of his spine, and he's still unable to play for the time being. Woods anticipates being ready for the launch of TGL next month.
