The PGA Tour event in Greensboro, N.C. has procured a new sponsor, Raymond James, a wealth management company located in St. Petersburg, Fla. The event will have a new name — GO by Raymond James — and will be one of roughly two dozen tournaments which will be a part of the top-tier PGA Tour Championship Series by 2028 as part of a multi-year agreement.
The GO by Raymond James will remain in its current spot on the tour calendar, with play taking place Aug. 5-8, 2027 at its current home, Greensboro’s Sedgefield Country Club. Raymond James also holds naming rights for the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ stadium through 2027.
According to Dhruv Prasad, PGA Tour chief commercial officer, “The PGA Tour’s Greensboro event has one of the richest histories in men’s professional golf, and we are proud to continue building on its longstanding legacy and local charitable impact with the support of our new partners at Raymond James.”
Five other PGA Tour events — the Sompo Championship, The Sentry, the Travelers Championship, the Arnold Palmer Invitational and the Cadillac Championship — have secured spots for the 2028 Championship Series. Current Signature events, including the Truist Championship, RBC Heritage and Genesis Invitational, are expected to secure their spots for 2028.
