Dow & Golf

Golf’s inherent connection to the environment — whether it be land and water usage or wildlife conservation — positions it as a frontrunner in sustainable action. And its growing influence offers significant opportunities to champion inclusion and diversity. By teaming up with ambassadors, partners and customers in the space, we believe we can advance our own efforts while inspiring others to follow suit. 

Team Dow - Next Gen

Introducing Team Dow – The Next Generation 

In collaboration with the LPGA and Epson Tour, we’ve launched a brand-new initiative to support four female professional golfers to assist in fulfilling their dreams of competing on the LPGA Tour and continuing to play the game they love. This program underscores our shared commitment to progressing the game of golf – from advancing sustainability to supporting inclusivity and diversity.

#TeamingUp at The Dow Championship

Sporting events can help strengthen communities -- that’s why we brought the LPGA Tour to our own backyard in Midland, MI.

While professional golf is at the heart of the Dow Championship, the event features extensive initiatives focused on giving back to the Great Lakes Bay Region, cultivating comradery, reducing environmental impact and more.

With the foundation set, we and our partners are seeking new ways to break new ground and create a blueprint for other sports tournaments to follow.

Celebrating the Green: Digital Sustainability Platform

Along with the LPGA Tour, we launched the Celebrating the Green digital hub to serve as a resource for fans, partners, tournaments and players to showcase how the LPGA is working to make all aspects of the Tour more sustainable. 

Golf Partnerships

Sports act as a catalyst for innovation, inclusion and sustainability, all while fostering community and collaboration. We’re proud to partner with the LPGA and LET, GEO Foundation for Sustainable Golf, PGA TOUR and Green Sports Alliance to explore creative ways to advance the game of golf.

Dow & Racing

In its early days, racing provided an exciting testing ground for the industry’s newest prototypes. Today, that same pioneering spirit lives on, forging new paths in sustainability, precision and efficiency.

Racing to Innovate

Alongside our partner Jaguar TCS Racing, Dow MobilityScience™ engineers utilize their expertise in materials application and development to not only enhance the Jaguar I-TYPE 6 electric race cars, but also to influence the future of e-mobility to help accelerate the adoption of consumer electric vehicles.

Learn how we’re using our partnership with Jaguar TCS Racing in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship as real-world testbed to develop the technologies that are shaping and enabling the future of electric mobility. 

Reaching the Finish Line Faster

In NASCAR, a driver's car must balance speed with safety and reliability — that's where Dow plays a crucial role. Through prototype development, data analysis and experimentation, our collaboration with Richard Childress Racing (RCR) enhances performance both on and off the racetrack.

Hear from driver Austin Dillon and the RCR team as they discuss how our deep understanding of materials science provides the edge needed to cross the finish line faster, stronger and first. 

Racing Partnerships

Through our collaborations with Jaguar TCS Racing on the Formula E circuit and NASCAR’s Richard Childress Racing, we’re proud to bring 100+ years of transportation experience, expertise in application development and technical integration, and the power of materials science to advance the mobility industry.

Jaguar TCS Racing

As a believer in the power of sport, and the Official Materials Science Partner of Jaguar TCS Racing, we continually test and refine mobility innovations that unlock new levels of sustainability and performance for electric race cars and road vehicles alike. The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship – a net-zero all-electric motorsport competition – provides us with a high-performance laboratory. Here, Dow MobilityScience™ and Jaguar TCS Racing engineers collaborate to fine-tune thermal management, adhesion and electromagnetic interference technologies.

Richard Childress Racing

We collaborate with Richard Childress Racing (RCR) to bring science and innovation to the mobility industry using the most extreme testing lab available: the racetrack. Together, our scientists at the Materials Engineering Center and RCR engineers develop advanced mobility innovations leveraging our MobilityScience™ technologies that make the Dow No. 3 Chevrolet faster, more tuned and precise.

Making the Fastest Ice Sport Even Faster

Luge is a blend of athletic prowess and scientific excellence. It requires such precision that a fraction of a second — faster than the blink of an eye — can make or break a chance at standing on the podium. As the Official Technical Partner of USA Luge, our own team of Dow scientists taps into world-class research, development and cutting-edge technologies to help make the fastest ice sport even faster, with new sled designs that are more tuned and more precise.

Olympic-Winning Sled Designs

Dow and USA Luge have a long track record. Since partnering to enhance sled technology, the team has seen historic successes across the board, including earning more than 100 World Cup and World Championship medals.

At the 2014 Olympic Games, Erin Hamlin won the first-ever USA Luge singles medal (bronze), followed by Chris Mazdzer’s first U.S. men’s singles medal at PyeongChang 2018 (silver).

Our teams continuously work together in both lab and on-track environments to enhance sleds, with the goal of adding to the total medal count. 

“The Dow partnership has brought a new level of analysis and understanding of how science and technology improve the environment that we operate in,” says Gordy Sheer, Director of Marketing and Sponsorship of USA Luge and Olympic silver medalist. “Their direct, hands-on collaboration with our team has elevated our sliders’ ability to perform stronger in races from the outset, and we are looking forward to continuing our teamwork with them.”
