Austin soon to be a Big Time Player in the World of PGA Golf!
The International Federation of PGA Tours announced a multi-year agreement today making Dell the title sponsor of the World Golf Championships Match Play through 2019.
As previously reported by the Statesman and the Associated Press, the tournament will move to Austin Country Club pending club members’ vote in 2016 and be renamed the World Golf Championships-Dell Match Play. It will be held the week of March 21-27, 2016.
“We couldn’t be more pleased to welcome Dell as a sponsor of the World Golf Championships and, beginning in 2016, as the new title sponsor of the Match Play,” PGA TOUR Commissioner Tim Finchem, on behalf of the International Federation of PGA Tours, said in a press release. “The Match Play has a tremendous future with Dell as the incoming title sponsor, the event’s move to Austin and the new round-robin format that is being introduced this year (April 29-May 3).”
