Golf & Tennis Pro Shop, Inc., owner and operator of PGA TOUR Superstores, announced an expanded agreement with the PGA TOUR that will pave the way for an increased PGA TOUR presence inside and outside its stores. The new agreement solidifies a relationship between the parties for a
potential term of 50 years and includes a variety of options for
expanded programming.
The new agreement with the PGA TOUR envisions increased usage of the
PGA TOUR name inside stores in areas such as signage, services,
programs and promotions. In addition, the agreement contemplates an
increased level of PGA TOUR-branded merchandise, enhanced marketing and
communications programs, and joint community outreach activities.

seven in the Atlanta, Dallas and Phoenix metro areas, one in Naples,
Fla., and two Martin’s PGA TOUR Superstores in Myrtle Beach, S.C. PGA TOUR Superstores is the PGA TOUR’s exclusive partner for off-course/off-airport golf retailing.
