It’s Season 2, Episode 2 of The Golfing CEO, and Derek has the pleasure of sitting down with Hrag Hamalian, CEO of the TGR Foundation. Founded by Tiger Woods in 1996, the organization has impacted more than 300,000 students and educators through education and STEAM-based learning programs focused on underserved communities. Join Derek and Hrag as they talk about Hrag’s “delusional” foray into education, where TGR is going from here, and why he finally understands the obsession that so many golfers have with the game.
