The Heritage tournament on Hilton Head Island, a haven for golf preppies since the invention of pink and green pants, belts, shirts and hats, has a new title sponsor and a new presenting sponsor. The announcement was made shortly after lunch today, June 16th, and brings the PGA Tour back to a fully sponsored schedule for 2012 and beyond.
RBC (Royal Bank of Canada) signed a five-year agreement that will go through 2016. The Boeing Company, which has business interests in Charleston, S.C., will be the local presenting sponsor. The tournament will become the RBC Heritage.
