OVERLAND
PARK, Kan., June 18,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- For the third consecutive
year, Vortex Weather Insurance will provide a rain
insurance policy for the DICK'S Sporting Goods Open, a PGA TOUR
Champions Event June 21–June 23 at the stunning En-Joie Golf Course
in Endicott, New York.
The DICK'S Sporting Goods Open is operated by Broome County
Community Charities, Inc. (BCCC) and has donated over $20 million to charity. Broome Charities' initial
mission focused the 501(c)(3)'s funding toward health care
organizations with the goal to assist the greatest number of people
within their community. BCCC donated over $720,000 in 2023, a
result of partnerships with DICK'S Sporting Goods, the PGA TOUR,
and PGA TOUR Champions players.
As always, the DICK'S Sporting Goods Open is expected to host a
star-studded lineup, including Ernie Els, David Duval, Padraig
Harrington, Miguel Angel
Jimenez, John Daly,
Colin Montgomerie, Vijay Singh, and many others, offering golf fans
in Central New York a unique
opportunity to see several of golf's legends up close and
personal.
Executive Director of the DICK'S Sporting Goods Open John
Karedes remarks on how he feels about the continued Vortex
partnership. "With Vortex, I know that if rain impacts the
tournament, the financial loss would be manageable, and we'd still
be able to contribute to BCCC. This peace of mind helps us deliver
a first-class event experience for the golf fans of Central New York."
"The DICK'S Sporting Goods Open is an incredible week of golf,
entertainment, and hospitality for central New York. Our rain insurance allows the team
to rest easy knowing they don't have to worry about rain impacting
tournament revenues, " says Eric
Anderson, Vortex Weather Insurance National Director of
Sales.
