The PGA European Tour has announced a new five-year agreement with The Toro Company, one of the world’s leading providers of irrigation and turf maintenance equipment.
Toro will continue as Preferred Supplier to The European Tour through to 2015, continuing a strong relationship that began in 2000.
The agreement will ensure that Toro equipment and service support will be provided for The European Tour agronomy team throughout the year to ensure that all tournament venues across The European, Challenge and Senior Tours are presented in excellent condition for tournament play.
Founded 97 years ago in response to customer demand, Toro has enjoyed a strong and successful relationship with The European Tour since 2000. During that period, Toro has supplied the highest levels of service, showcasing its portfolio of world class turf care products, equipment and service support.
Toro supplies and services many of the world’s leading golf resorts and, through its relationship with the Tour, is seeking to further consolidate its reputation as a brand leader in this sector.
Toro was also the Preferred Supplier of Irrigation and Turf Maintenance Equipment for The 2006 Ryder Cup at The K Club in Ireland and The 2010 Ryder Cup at the Celtic Manor Resort in Wales.
