Every year, its open format attracts some of the best players in the world and fulfills its promise of showcasing electrifying competition. In 2023, The Tournament unveiled TST, which exploded onto the scene with a $1 million prize, billing itself as Coachella for Sports – part food festival, part sporting event. In 2024, the company launched an equal pay women’s soccer tournament for $1 million and broadcast through ESPN networks. For more information, visit www.thetournament.com.
