Valspar signs extension to continue as PGA Tour title sponsor through 2030
Valspar signs extension to continue as PGA Tour title sponsor through 2030
Valspar was first a title sponsor of the PGA Tour event at Innisbrook Resort's Copperhead Course in 2014, and that will partnership will continue through the end of the decade.
Valspar, a paint and coatings manufacturer, has extended its title sponsorship of the Valspar Championship through 2030, the PGA Tour announced Monday. The current deal was set to expire after this season's event, which is set for March 20-23, the final stop of the PGA Tour's Florida Swing.
Financial terms were not revealed, per Sports Business Journal's Josh Carpenter, though full-field events have been commanding between $13 million and $15 million per year.
'As the final event of the PGA Tour's Florida Swing, the Valspar Championship sits in a pivotal spot on the golf calendar as players and fans gear up for the heart of our FedEx Cup Season,' PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan said in a release. 'Our friends at Valspar understand the importance this event carries in the Sunshine State and have embraced that role through unique activations including the Valspar Be Bright mural initiative and the Valspar Caddie Hat Program. The PGA Tour is proud to continue building upon these enhancements with Valspar as we take our relationship into the next decade.'
The deal is also significant as numerous PGA Tour title sponsors have been waiting to sign extensions as unification talks with Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund continue. Some sponsors have left in recent years, like Wells Fargo and Honda, while others, such as RBC that sponsors the RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links and the Canadian Open, have committed to only one-year deals as negotiations continue.
Last week, President Donald Trump met with commissioner Jay Monahan, Tiger Woods, Adam Scott and LIV Golf chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan at the White House to discuss unification, talks the PGA Tour called a "constructive working session."
The PGA Tour's Florida Swing begins Thursday with the Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches at PGA National's Champion Course.

LIV Golf Star Beats Scottie Scheffler Before US Open
LIV Golf Star Beats Scottie Scheffler Before US Open originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Scottie Scheffler may be the hottest golfer on the planet right now, but when it comes to earnings, the crown goes to LIV Golf's Jon Rahm. The latest report suggests Rahm has beaten Scheffler heading into the U.S. Open, at least on the money list. Advertisement Scottie has been putting on one of the greatest performances in the PGA Tour and majors. He has won three out of 12 events, including the 2025 PGA Championship. The 28-year-old has yet to miss a cut this season. But when it comes to becoming the highest-paid golfer in the world, Scheffler unfortunately lost that crown to the Spaniard Rahm. According to Forbes' latest report of the world's highest-paid golfers, Rahm's reported earnings stand at $102 million. He collected only $10 million of it from off-course earnings courtesy of endorsement deals with Callaway, Rolex and Santander Bank. However, the rest of Rahm's astonishing $92 million comes from his on-course earnings through LIV Golf and majors.

He has yet to win an event this year. Meanwhile, Scheffler, the world's second-highest-paid golfer, has earned $97 million. He made $67 million from on-course earnings while the rest came from off the course. Advertisement Scheffler has endorsement deals with Nike, TaylorMade, Rolex and Veritex Community Bank. The three-time major winner has already accumulated $86 million in career earnings, behind only Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Phil Mickelson in PGA Tour's all-time list. Scheffler also won the Memorial Tournament leading up to the U.S. Open. Though he may have lost the money battle to Rahm, Scheffler will look to balance things out by trying to win his maiden U.S. Open. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 11, 2025, where it first appeared.

Chiefs will have to choose between renovated Arrowhead Stadium or new dome in Kansas
The Chiefs are on track to get the public money they need to renovate Arrowhead Stadium. Along they way, they've unlocked an opportunity to get a new stadium in Kansas. Now, as explained by the Kansas City Business Journal (via Sports Business Journal) they'll have to pick one of the two projects. In the coming days, the Missouri legislature could be approving a plan to pay for 50 percent of a $1.15 billion overhaul of the Chiefs' long-time home. The other option would entail a significantly more expensive new stadium that will have a roof — and, in turn, more events in non-football season and a potential Super Bowl. The Chiefs have said they want a dome. But Arrowhead is a special place with a vibe that will be difficult to replicate. A full and final decision could be coming soon. Kansas has said its offer expires at the end of June. Which is just a few weeks away.

2025 U.S. Open: Complete Record-Matching $21.5M Prize Purse by Place
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. While speaking on the eve of the 125th U.S. Open, United States Golf Association (USGA) CEO Mike Whan officially revealed that the event's purse will be $21.5 million, with $4.3 million going to the winner. This is the same amount allocated for the 2024 edition, tying the record for the largest purse distributed at any major championship in history. "Our purse is $21.5 million. Winner's check is $4.3 [million]. We didn't raise our purse this year," Whan said. "When I started at the USGA just four years ago, our purse was $12.5 [million], so I feel comfortable that we've been a leader in moving fast and bigger."

Aller/Getty Images As for the winner's paycheck, it ranks as the second-highest for an individual professional golf event, behind only the $4.5 million awarded to the winner of the PGA Tour's PLAYERS Championship. It's certainly come a long way since the $150 Horace Rawlins received for winning the event's foundational edition in 1895. The US Open winner's paycheck reached $1,000 for the first time in 1929, but the winner was the legendary Bobby Jones, who didn't collect the prize money because he played as an amateur. The $10,000 barrier was broken in 1959, when Billy Casper received $12,000 for his victory. Just 26 years later, the $100,000 barrier was surpassed, as Andy North received $103,000 when he won in 1985. It couldn't be anyone but Tiger Woods who was the first to receive $1 million for winning the US Open, which he did with his epic victory in 2000.
