KUALA LUMPUR: CIMB Group Holdings Bhd, the title sponsor of CIMB Classic since its inception in 2010, yesterday announced the extension of its title sponsorship of the golf tournament through 2020.

The four-year extension reflects the success of the only official PGA Tour FedExCup event in Southeast Asia. Since it was first staged, the tournament has attracted world-class professionals like Tiger Woods, Henrik Stenson, Adam Scott, Sergio Garcia, Ernie Els and Ryo Ishikawa.

“CIMB Classic has firmly placed Malaysia on the PGA Tour calendar ... the tournament continues to generate quite a following and we will continue to deliver an exceptional experience for players,” CIMB group chief executive officer Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Aziz in a statement yesterday.

The upcoming CIMB Classic will be held from Oct 20 to 23 and is the second tournament of the 2016-2017 PGA Tour schedule.
