Comcast Business today announced it has expanded its
relationship with the PGA TOUR, becoming a Proud Partner of THE
PLAYERS Championship through 2030. THE PLAYERS, featuring the
strongest field in golf, is being contested at the Stadium Course
at TPC Sawgrass, March 9-12 with 144 players competing for a record
$25 million purse.
“The PGA TOUR has enjoyed working alongside Comcast Business the
last three years, and we are thrilled to now officially welcome
them as a Proud Partner of our flagship event, THE PLAYERS
Championship,” said PGA TOUR Commissioner Jay Monahan. “Their goal
of helping business leaders achieve maximum business performance
while keeping communities connected aligns perfectly with the
mission of the PGA TOUR and the local charitable goals of THE
PLAYERS Championship.”
This expanded partnership builds on the success of Comcast
Business’s multi-year sponsorship of the Comcast Business TOUR TOP
10, which emphasizes player performance by rewarding the top
players in the FedExCup Standings at the end of the FedEx Cup
Regular Season. As part of the Comcast Business TOUR TOP 10, a $20
million bonus is shared among the top 10 finishers. Scottie
Scheffler took home the $4 million first-place prize in 2022 after
winning four times during the FedExCup Regular Season.
“THE PLAYERS Championship is one of the PGA TOUR’s premier and
most anticipated tournaments. Comcast Business is thrilled to
expand our partnership with the PGA TOUR to become a Proud Partner
of this incredible, flagship event,” said Eileen Diskin, Chief
Marketing Officer, Comcast Business. “We’re committed to serving
business leaders on and off the course, keeping them ready for
whatever lies ahead. We’re proud to partner with the PGA TOUR and
are excited for the future of THE PLAYERS Championship and the
Comcast Business Tour Top 10.”
“THE PLAYERS Championship is excited to welcome Comcast Business
into our Northeast Florida home and Proud Partner family,” said
Jared Rice, Executive Director of THE PLAYERS. “It is because of
the backing of these Proud Partners that we can showcase one of the
premier events in sports while giving back to the community that
supports us. We look forward to connecting even further with
Northeast Florida thanks to the efforts of Comcast Business.”
Over the past 40+ years, THE PLAYERS has generated more than
$100 million to support non-profit organizations in communities
within Northeast Florida. Optum and Morgan Stanley are also Proud
Partners of THE PLAYERS. Grant Thornton, a Proud Partner since
2018, is transitioning its sponsorship to the Grant Thornton
Invitational a new mixed-team event co-sanctioned by the LPGA and
PGA TOUR.
