The PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem has made an announcement of changing the Nationwide Tour to Web.com Tour because of the recent sponsorship agreement with the company.
He was talking to the PGA Tour website and told that the tour has made an agreement with the company for the next 10 years. Accordingly, the company will use its name with the tour until the year 2021.
In addition to that, the company will also be the marketing partner for the tour for the specified time period.

for this week’s AT&T National.
“In addition to the umbrella sponsorship of this Tour, Web.com has, as well, entered into a 100-year agreement to become an official marketing partner of the TOUR. So they will sponsor the TOUR and also have a partnership directly with the TOUR,” he added.
