The tournament, which brings world-class players annually to the District, will be held July 27-Aug. 4. Washington Metropolitan Area residents know all too well that with summer comes the humidity. The refreshing and clean taste of American Summits water from Wyoming’s pristine Beartooth Mountain peaks is sure to keep fans and players cool and hydrated throughout the week of the tournament. “Hydration is key for any summer event—not just for the athletes, but all attendees—so it is important to have the right event partners on board,” said Jeff Newman, Citi Open Tournament Director. “We’re thrilled to have such a premium brand as American Summits commit to the event, and we’re looking forward to a longstanding relationship for years to come.” The local hospitality industry fully embraced the still and sparkling water brand when it officially launched in the District of Columbia two years ago. Top hotels and restaurants, including the Four Seasons and Willard hotels, Occidental Grill, Brasserie Beck, Marcel’s, and Mussel Bar all serve the water to their discerning consumers. “The Citi Open is a D.C. summer tradition and one of the nation’s most important tournaments, so we’re very proud to be a part of it this year,” said Philip Lajaunie, President and CEO of American Summits.
