As we near our Christmas and New Year celebrations, we are yet to examine one more big showdown of this year. Hosted by the legend Tiger Woods, the Hero World Challenge is unofficially going to be the last event of the 2024 season. It brings the 20 best players on the greens each year. And this is not any different. Although the host himself won’t be competing, it will not dim the shine of the event.

With these top players like Xander Schauffele competing in the event, the prize purse is also as high as the anticipation for the awaited winner. The winner of the event will take home a prize of $1 million from a $5 million purse. The 2024 Hero World Challenge has 4 unmatched ticket options with premium food and top-notch hospitality facilities. Ever wondered who is sponsoring all this? Get ready for the disclosure.

Who is that $2.4B brand sponsoring Tiger Woods’s event?

As the name goes, Hero World Challenge, the primary sponsor of this event is none other than Hero MotoCorp Ltd. Based out of New Delhi, this brand is the world’s largest manufacturer of motorcycles and scooters. Over the years, the brand has not only sponsored golf but multiple sporting events, including football, field hockey, cricket, and motorsports. Found by Brijmohan Lall Munjal, the company is worth $2.4 billion to date. 

After Brijmohan Lall Munjal passed away in 2015, Dr Pawan Munjal took charge of the company and made Hero MotoCorp reach a global platform. The company currently sells its masterpieces in more than 40 countries across Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and South and Central America.

With Hero MotoCorp’s success story unfolding on the world stage, it’s natural to be curious about the man behind the wheel. But does the CEO of the biggest sponsor also play golf? In an interview with Business Today, the chairman revealed that “I have never played that golf before that day, nor have I played it since then,” referring to when he played golf with Tiger Woods in 2014 when Woods visited India. “Best round of my life,” Dr. Munjal continued, clearing that he even admits looking after a billion-dollar company; the CEO doesn’t forget to play the sport his company sponsors.

The company, whose global corporate partner is fifteen-time major winner Tiger Woods, says that “through golf, we have managed to take the company and the brand across the globe.” As Hero MotoCorp continues to make waves in the world of golf, one can’t spot but assume—what’s behind the company’s passion for sports?

Answering this, the Chairman said, “Because we believe that associating with youth, helping, and supporting the youth will not only benefit Hero MotorCorp, but we are playing our part in nation-building as well,” revealing the motivation and bigger ambition of the company. Along with the billion-dollar company, the Tiger Woods’s event also has a founding sponsor, The Islands of Bahamas. With the event being organized in December, it is indeed the best time to visit and enjoy the pleasant weather of the Bahamas. There are also other partners associated with the event who contribute to making HWC a big hit.

Who else is sponsoring the 2024 Hero World Challenge?

The 2024 Hero World Challenge is starting on the 5th of December and will organize its trophy ceremony on the 8th. With only 5 days to go, the event has thirteen more partner sponsors to provide their players and audience with top-level comfort and experience. With the tagline “A crown for every achievement” this sponsoring brand of the Tiger Woods’s event has its name on the luxe list. Yes, indeed it’s the Rolex!

Other than that, one of the Hero World Challenge sponsors is also the Royal Bank of Canada. A fact about RBC that one would never be able to guess is that the bank is a huge supporter of climate innovations, having allocated $48 million in funds in 2023. Additionally, we also have J.S. Johnson, the Macallan, Bahamas Casino, Think Simple, and Scotiabank among the 15 total sponsors of this huge event at the Albany Golf Club in the Bahamas.
