The newly renamed “Genworth Financial Statistics” was launched at the recent Open de España at the Centro Nacional de Golf in Madrid.
The statistics programme, which celebrates its tenth anniversary this year, provides Tour Members with analysis of their performance in all Order of Merit tournaments.
Every shot played by every Tour Member is profiled during the course of the season, with the results collated into eight categories - Stroke Average, Driving Accuracy, Driving Distance, Greens in Regulation, Putts per Greens in Regulation, Putts per Round, Sand Saves and Scrambles.
“The international flavour of the Tour coupled with its links to our core value of performance made it an obvious choice,” said Bob Brannock, President of Genworth Financial’s International business.
Genworth Financial considered a range of sponsorship opportunities before selecting The European Tour Statistics programme and associated events.
Genworth will also sponsor four events on The European Tour International Schedule as well as host the annual Statistics Awards Dinner at the end of each season.
Financial security company, Genworth Financial, has signed a five-year agreement to become the new Official Sponsor of The European Tour Statistics programme.
