  • Safeway Open Press Release FINAL
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE OCTOBER 18, 2015 Safeway joins PGA TOUR as title sponsor of Napa tournament Safeway Open to remain at Silverado Resort and Spa through 2020 PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. and NAPA, Calif. (Oct. 18, 2015) – The PGA TOUR announced today that Safeway is the new title sponsor of the Safeway Open, formerly known as the Frys.com Open. The five- year agreement runs through 2020 with the PGA TOUR event remaining at Silverado Resort and Spa for the duration. The Safeway Open dates back to 2007, with the event moving from CordeValle Golf Club in San Martin to Silverado Resort and Spa in Napa in 2014. With its present location, the event has become a popular stop for players, their families and fans, a credit to the allure of the Napa Valley and Silverado Resort and Spa. The tournament will continue to bring top PGA TOUR competition to Northern California and further its charitable and economic efforts in the local community, thanks to the long-term commitment of Safeway and World Golf Hall of Fame member Johnny Miller, partner of Silverado Resort and Spa. “We are delighted to have Safeway involved with the PGA TOUR starting in 2016,” said PGA TOUR Commissioner Tim Finchem. “We have had a tremendous partnership with Albertsons, Safeway’s parent company, on the Web.com Tour, with the Albertsons Boise Open generating more than $1 million for local charities each of the last nine years. The Safeway Open will have a similar model in place to help build on what is already a well-established event in Napa.
