The SoFi Center, home of Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy's TGL, hosts more than just golf

Bills QB Josh Allen's bachelor party was at SoFi Center

The SoFi Center opened on the Palm Beach State College campus on PGA Boulevard in January 2025 for the inaugural TGL season. It holds about 1,500 for the golf league.

The facility is turned into a multi-use venue between golf seasons, which is April through October or November, depending on the start of the WTGL season. SoFi recently hosted its 100th event outside TGL.

Tiger Woods of Jupiter Links GC tees off during match against Los Angeles Golf Club during the TGL finals at SoFi Center on March 24, 2026, in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

"Originally, we very much focused on how to use this screen and green, as we should," George said. "That's kind of the star of the SoFi Center. That's kind of the let-your-hair-down fun at the end with a little reception. But the clients also are doing sales conferences here. They're doing fireside chats. They're doing roundtable discussions.

"Using the facility more like a convention center or multi-use purpose, with oh, by the way, a 64-foot screen, has been useful."

But those who want to rent the facility are not limited to using the field of play. An event could be on the concourse, or the clubhouse, which holds up to 150 people. An event could be in lounges and suites, which can host 10- to 40-person dinners. They can even be held on the player performance area with six simulator bays where the likes of Justin Rose, Xander Schauffele and Rickie Fowler warm up before matches.

The venue has been used by the South Florida PGA, Trustbridge Hospice Foundation for a fundraiser, Rush Soccer, CNBC for a CEO Council Forum, the Maxwell Leadership Team for a fireside chat with Jack Nicklaus and Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen's bachelor party.

Some of those included closest to the pin challenges with guests playing the same par-3 holes used by TGL. Others were held without anyone hitting a golf shot.

Palm Beach State College hosted its Emerald Torch Awards Gala at SoFi Center and welcome receptions for freshmen. It is expected to hold faculty and staff kickoff events and possibly graduation at the venue.

TGL has a long-term partnership with PBSC that includes a 20-year lease. The league also has made donations in excess of $1 million to the college.

"We've really learned it doesn't have to be just golf-focused or even just inviting golfers to these events," Hirsch said, adding some of the larger events "don't even touch the field of play."

But that is the beauty of the facility. For those looking for that golf experience, nothing comes close to the unusual nature of the SoFi Center.

Hirsch recently received a call from a man who asked if on the morning of his son's wedding (while the bride and bridesmaids were getting ready), his son and the groomsmen could rent out the SoFi Center for a tour and to do some putting on the 5,270-square-foot synthetic putting surface.

And Hirsch said most events that included golf also included someone who not only had never taken a swing inside the SoFi Center, but had never swung a golf club.

"Which has been really exciting to see," he said.

With many companies planning events a year out, the venue expects more and more companies and corporations to reach out in the next year or two. Events in the near future include the wrestling (the first non-TGL event televised from the SoFi Center); Shriners Children's Skills Challenge with Rickie Fowler; a job expo and welcome celebration for the PGA WORKS Collegiate Championship, which highlights golf programs at Historically Black Colleges and Universities; and the 2026 Palm Beach Post High School Sports Awards program.

"There's probably more than 50% of the people that have never been here at every event we do," George said. "We're educating them on the fly around TGL and WTGL as they're doing these private events, which has been great."
