Tampa Gets A Presenting Sponsor Just In Time

Considering this is a favorite course of PGA Tour players, any sign that the Tampa event at Innisbrook might be saved is good news for the tour. Then again, many think it'd make a great spot for the WGC Match Play since the chance of snow isn't great.

“We are extremely pleased that EverBank has agreed to become presenting sponsor of the 2013 Tampa Bay Championship and thank the company for its commitment,” said Andy Pazder, Chief of Operations for the PGA TOUR. “With only a couple of weeks before the tournament, we are focusing all of our time and energy on helping EverBank to become fully integrated, including development of on-site signage and the broadcast presentation and implementing a full-scale customer engagement program.”
