“Comcast Business TOUR TOP 10” highlights
FedExCup Regular Season performance on the PGA TOUR
The PGA TOUR announced today that Comcast Business signed a
multi-year deal to sponsor the Comcast Business TOUR TOP 10
starting with the current 2020-21 PGA TOUR Season.
The Comcast Business TOUR TOP 10 emphasizes player performance
by rewarding the top players in the FedExCup standings at the end
of the FedExCup Regular Season. The current ‘super season’
schedule, which features 50 official FedExCup tournaments, the most
in a season since 1975 (51), promises to deliver an incredibly
compelling finish.
“We appreciate the support of Comcast Business in highlighting
the PGA TOUR’s top 10 performers from the FedExCup Regular Season
and recognizing the hard work players put into every PGA TOUR
season to play their best,” said Andy Pazder, PGA TOUR Chief
Tournaments and Competitions Officer. “Navigating the FedExCup
Regular Season is extremely challenging as players get into the
best position possible for the FedExCup Playoffs. Our ‘super
season’ of 50 events features more FedExCup points than ever
before, which raises the importance of every event and every shot.
Finishing within the Comcast Business TOUR TOP 10 means you were
able to rise to the top as a result of exceptional performance
throughout the Regular Season.”
Finishing among the top 10 entering the FedExCup Playoffs is an
important goal for players looking to position themselves for a run
at the coveted FedExCup. At the end of the FedExCup Regular Season,
as part of the Comcast Business TOUR TOP 10, a $10 million bonus is
shared among the top 10 finishers in the FedExCup standings.
“We could not be more excited to partner with the PGA TOUR to
sponsor the new Comcast Business TOUR TOP 10,” said Bill Stemper,
President, Comcast Business. “Our shared commitment to delivering
premier experiences and enabling the highest levels of performance
make this partnership a natural fit. We look forward to the
continued growth of the Comcast Business TOUR TOP 10 and to an
exciting finish to this year’s FedExCup Regular Season. Best of
luck to all the players!”
The inaugural Comcast Business TOUR TOP 10 will be determined at
the conclusion of the 2021 Wyndham Championship, the final event of
the FedExCup Regular Season prior to the kickoff of the FedExCup
Playoffs at THE NORTHERN TRUST. The leader in FedExCup points
through the Wyndham Championship will earn the top spot in the
Comcast Business TOUR TOP 10 in addition to a $2 million prize,
followed by $1.5 million for the runner-up with the 10th-place
finisher earning $500,000.
“Comcast Business is proud to kick off this exciting, strategic
partnership with the PGA TOUR and to recognize the incredible
accomplishments of this year’s FedExCup Regular Season winners,”
said Eileen Diskin, CMO, Comcast Business. “We value being part of
the PGA TOUR and our ability to help spotlight the best players in
the game. This partnership provides us with the most distinguished
golf platform to engage, support and influence our customers and
prospects.”
Comcast Business TOUR TOP 10 updates will be integrated into NBC
Sports’ PGA TOUR tournament coverage on GOLF Channel and NBC, as
well as studio coverage on Golf Today and Golf Central Presented by
Callaway Golf on GOLF Channel in the buildup to the final event of
the FedExCup Regular Season.
“As a foundational media partner of the PGA TOUR and a part of
the Comcast family, we’re thrilled to amplify the Comcast Business
TOUR TOP 10 on NBC and GOLF Channel throughout the FedExCup Regular
Season, emphasizing season-long performances by the world’s top
golfers each week as they battle for position in the FedExCup
Playoffs,” said Tom Knapp, executive vice president, partnerships
and programming, NBC Sports.
In 2019, Brooks Koepka earned the top spot in the TOUR TOP 10,
while Justin Thomas garnered the honor in 2020 on the strength of
three FedExCup Regular Season victories. Bryson DeChambeau holds a
narrow lead over Justin Thomas in the current standings.
