Symetra Financial Corporation has committed to extend its title sponsorship of the LPGA’s developmental tour through 2021, the tour announced Oct. 19. In addition, the company plans to match any tournament that increases its purse in 2016.
To show the way for other other events, Symetra upped its purses at both the Symetra Classic and Symetra Tour Championship to $150,000 and $200,000, respectively.
“Symetra has been a committed partner for the past four years, but challenged us to find a way they could contribute to raising purses across the schedule,” said Symetra Tour Chief Business Officer Mike Nichols.
