DRIVING DREAMS TOGETHER
For more than 10 years, the Tiger Woods Invitational presented by Insperity has made an impact on the lives of youth, as all proceeds from the event benefit TGR Foundation. Thank you to the generous supporters at Insperity and our loyal sponsors and participants.
Founded in 1996 by Tiger Woods, TGR Foundation’s mission is to empower students to pursue their passions through education. Through its growing network of TGR Learning Labs and educational programs, the Foundation has served more than 217,000 youth from under-resourced communities, providing access to STEAM educational enrichment, career and college readiness, health and well-being programs. In 2026, the Foundation celebrates 30 years of driving dreams together, presented by EY.
“WHEN I WAS A KID, MY PARENTS INSTILLED A CORE PRINCIPLE IN MY LIFE: TRY TO MAKE AN IMPACT IN ONE PERSON’S LIFE, EVERY DAY. AT TGR FOUNDATION, WE ARE DOING JUST THAT, MAKING A MEANINGFUL IMPACT ON THE LIVES OF YOUTH ONE DAY AT A TIME.”
– Tiger Woods, Founder TGR Foundation
TGR Learning Labs
In 2001 Tiger envisioned a safe space for youth from the community he grew up in to “learn, grow and chase after their dreams.” The flagship TGR Learning Lab in Anaheim, CA opened its doors in 2006 and has supported youth across Southern California and beyond.
TGR Foundation has since opened its second location on the Cobbs Creek Golf and Education campus in West Philadelphia, with three more Learning Labs in development over the next two years, including Los Angeles, Atlanta and Augusta, Ga.
Learning Labs serve students from 1st-12th grade through immersive science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEAM) field trips and after-school classes, health and well-being resources and college preparation opportunities.

As TGR Foundation celebrates 30th anniversary, alumni of its TGR Learning Labs and Earl Woods Scholar Program are living examples of its impact.
Bianca Angeles Lacson was one of five members of the inaugural cohort of the Earl Woods Scholars. With support from the program, she was accepted into the University of California, Berkeley, where she graduated in 2011 with a Bachelor of Arts in psychology.
Inspired by the support she received, she’s built a successful career empowering students like herself on their paths to college and career success.
Today, she lives in Los Angeles with her husband, Andrew, and serves as the Education and Outreach Manager at the Ellison Medical Institute. In the role, she supports students as they explore and pursue skills in STEM.
A robotics class at the TGR Learning Lab Anaheim was the start of Daniel Biviano Rayo’s journey to a career in education. His experiences expanded his love for learning and developed his desire to pay it forward.
From early elementary to post-secondary education, Rayo has continued to pursue opportunities to empower students as an educator. In 2024, he returned to the TGR Learning Lab as an instructor, where he teaches STEAM classes, including robotics, food science and drone operations, while also leading a run club.
