Nationwide to end tour sponsorship in 2012
Golf Betting Lines
09/03/2010 -
Dublin, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Nationwide Insurance has closed one door and
opened another.
The company said Friday it will no longer sponsor the PGA Tour's developmental
circuit when its contract runs out after the 2012 season. But it also
announced a six-year deal to become the presenting sponsor of the Memorial
Tournament beginning in 2011.
The insurance giant has been the title sponsor of the Nationwide Tour since
2003, when it took over for Buy.com, and is currently in the eighth year of a
10-year deal.
PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem said he doesn't anticipate any problems
finding another company to sign on as a sponsor for the 2013 season and
beyond.
"Some people view it as maybe the best branding opportunity in sports because
of the overall exposure," Finchem said.
He said the tour wants to find a company "that's active, engaged (and) wants
to build something."
"And if we can manage that," Finchem said, "we'll be just fine."
Nationwide executive Jim Lyski said the company has been happy to be the
namesake of the developmental tour, but jumped at the opportunity to sponsor
the Memorial.
Jack Nicklaus' tournament -- a top draw on the PGA Tour -- is held at
Muirfield Village in Dublin, close to Nationwide's headquarters in Columbus.
"We have been very, very happy over the last several years with the Nationwide
Tour, but when we had an opportunity to step up and sponsor or present the
Memorial, it was too good of an opportunity to pass," Lyski said.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
