A Chevron-Tiger partnership

In a joint announcement made recently, the Tiger Woods Foundation and Chevron Corporation unveiled a new 5-year global collaboration that will support all aspects of the foundation including fundraising activities, events and community engagement programs.

As part of this new relationship, Chevron will assume the title sponsorship of the Chevron World Challenge Golf Tournament, a PGA TOUR event held annually at Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks, California, featuring a field of 16 of the world’s top players. The event is hosted by Tiger Woods and is a primary fundraising activity for the Tiger Woods Foundation and the Tiger Woods Learning Center in Anaheim, California.

“We are delighted that Chevron has agreed to partner with our foundation,” Tiger Woods said. “Chevron has a track record and a commitment to bettering the communities where they operate. We are excited about working with them to co-develop programs that will further the efforts of the Tiger Woods Foundation.”

Mike Wirth, Executive Vice President of Global Downstream of Chevron, said the relationship strongly aligns with the company’s values and its commitment to California.

“We are thrilled to begin our relationship with Tiger and his foundation at home in California,” Wirth said. “Strong relationships are based on shared ideals and commitment. Chevron, Tiger and the Tiger Woods Foundation share similar values of high performance and partnership, as well as a deep commitment to make a difference in local communities.”

In addition to sponsoring Tiger’s annual tournament at Sherwood Country Club, Chevron will also support efforts to expand the foundation’s programs that help young people prepare for successful and responsible careers. Chevron and the foundation will explore opportunities in California, other locations in the U.S. and in select locations internationally.
