GF Sports is a live events and sports media entertainment platform located in Lynnfield, MA. The company was created by New York-based private equity fund GF Capital, its founder Gary Fuhrman, and longtime sports executive Jerry Solomon in 2015. The business was formed through a merger of various assets including Stargames, LLC and two ATP Tour events.

GF Sports owns and operates the BNP Paribas Showdown tennis exhibition at Madison Square Garden, two ATP 250-level events, the Memphis Open and BB&T Atlanta Open, the brand-new Skills Challenge at the USTA National Campus, and the Halloween on Ice skating tour. [1]

Along with growing tennis globally, GF Sports has stated that one of its goals is to "promote the next generation of American tennis stars".[2]
