PGA Event Sponsor Stays
From staff reports
Nissan North America, Inc. has extended its sponsorship of the Nissan Open PGA Tour event through 2006. The previous agreement for the event, held at Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, was due to expire after the 2002 tournament.
Nissan has been the title sponsor of the tournament since 1989. It is the oldest civic-sponsored event on the PGA Tour.
Next year’s tournament, Feb. 11-17, will feature a record purse of $3.7 million and a first prize of $666,000.
