Deutsche Bank Exits Quietly In Boston, EMC Steps In

These changeovers are always sensitive, but given Deutsche Bank's effort to build the Boston stop from startup to premier event on the PGA Tour schedule, the news of their departure was surprisingly muted.

Perhaps with longtime CEO Seth Waugh and others who built the event out of the picture, there isn't much sentimentality over the departure. The news of EMC's role taking over sponsorship didn't come as a huge surprise, and they may also be a reason for the lack of coverage. Also not answered: will the event retain its Labor Day weekend dates and playoff spot?

For now, Golfweek's Jim McCabe with what details are known.
