Zurich extends PGA Tour sponsorship of New Orleans event through 2030

Zurich Insurance has extended its title sponsorship of the PGA Tour's Zurich Classic of New Orleans through 2030, continuing a partnership that began in 2005. The tournament, which adopted a unique two-man team format in 2017, is the only team event on the PGA Tour to offer FedEx Cup points and has helped attract high-profile players like Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry. Zurich's sponsorship has contributed significantly to the local community, raising over $30 million for charities and generating more than $700 million in economic impact for New Orleans. The company played a major role in recovery efforts following Hurricane Katrina, deepening its connection to the city. PGA Tour officials and Zurich executives emphasized the event's charitable and economic importance, as well as the excitement generated by its team format. The renewed agreement aligns with the PGA Tour’s current broadcast rights contracts and underscores both Zurich's and the Tour's long-term commitment to the region.
