Shell Oil Company has informed the PGA Tour that it will not renew its title sponsorship of the Shell Houston Open beyond the 2017 tournament.
Shell has sponsored the event, held at the Golf Club of Houston, since 1992. Only the Honda Classic (1982) and AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am (1986) have had longer runs with their current sponsors.
"We greatly appreciate all that Shell has done over the years to support its hometown tournament and the wonderful charitable work of the HGA," PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem said in a release.
