State Farm Insurance In Talks With LPGA
Sunday, June 7th, 2009
The commissioner of the LPGA, Carolyn Bivens, says she has had a series of conversations with State Farm Auto Insurance about the future of the LPGA event in Springfield, IL. She is optimistic about an agreement being reached between State Farm and the LPGA for a new title-sponsorship contract. She did not say if or when the agreement would be reached according to The State Journal-Register.
During these tough economic times, few sports are getting automatic renewals but Bivens is encouraged by State Farm Insurance’s efforts to support the local LPGA tournament event. As many companies are holding back, State Farm is stepping up to invest in the community and the LPGA.
