Continues as the PGA Tour's main title sponsor
888Poker has announced an extension to its long-running sponsorship of the PGA which will encompass the 2013 PGA EuroPro Tour.
888Poker said it is excited to build a further brand presence by continuing as this year's main title sponsor and will launch promotions and events that it hopes will bring together fans and players of the tour.
Itai Pazner, senior vice president of 888.com said: "Last year's tour was a great success for our poker brand and offered our online player's access to the prestigious PGA Tour. We hope this year our new integrations will take the partnership to the next level."
Founded in 2001, the EuroPro Tour is a partnership between the PGA and Matchroom Sport and has established itself as a leading developmental tour.
Barry Hearn, chairman of Matchroom Sport said: "I am absolutely delighted that 888poker will be the title sponsor of the PGA EuroPro Tour once again in 2013. We enjoyed a fruitful relationship with 888poker in 2012 and are thrilled that they want to be a part of the PGA EuroPro Tour once again this summer. 888poker is an extremely professional, forward thinking and highly successful company who have an established name and brand that is great for the Tour to be linked with. The Tour is stronger than ever this year and I am really looking forward to what should be a great year as the Tour and 888poker continue to build on the strong relationship built in 2012."
