In a statement released on Monday, the DP World Tour announced that FedEx will be the title sponsor of the 2024 edition of the Open de France.
The 106th edition of this prestigious national open tournament is scheduled for this year. It is the oldest open tournament on the old continent, established in 1906, nineteen years before our Open. Keith Pelley, outgoing CEO of the European Tour, commented on the new sponsorship, saying: “We are thrilled to welcome FedEx to the global platform of the DP World Tour, where they will be able to expand the golf-oriented marketing program that has already been successful in United States with the PGA Tour.” “This agreement is another testament to how the Strategic Alliance with the PGA Tour continues to enhance the DP World Tour and its members, offering new commercial opportunities with prestige brands,” added Pelley.
Jay Monahan, Commissioner of the PGA Tour, also wanted to comment on the new sponsorship of the Open de France, won in 2022 by Guido Migliozzi: “Today’s announcement is another example of the collaboration between PGA Tour and DP World Tour, which benefits the world of men’s professional golf.” “As a sponsor of the PGA Tour since 1986 and a title sponsor of FedEx since 2007, FedEx has played an integral role in the evolution and growth of the PGA Tour, benefiting players, tournaments and fans,” Monahan noted .
