As part of the new arrangement, Insperity will serve as the presenting sponsor of The Tiger Woods Invitational as well as the official sponsor of The Genesis Invitational, The NEXUS Cup and The Hero World Challenge.

Woods' new PGA Tour role
Woods will have a big influence over the future of the PGA Tour after a tumultuous few years in the men's game.
New PGA Tour chief executive Brian Rolapp revealed before the Tour Championship that Woods will be the chairman of the future competition committee.
The nine-person group will shape the next era of the North American circuit.
Rolapp has promised 'significant change' that will not come incrementally.
The committee also includes PGA Tour players Patrick Cantlay, Adam Scott, Camilo Villegas, Maverick McNealy and Keith Mitchell.
Former Valero Energy chairman, Joe Gorder, Fenway Sports Group principal owner John Henry and former Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs general manager Theo Epstein are also involved.
Ben Smith joined the GolfMagic team in September 2021, initially as a content executive.
These days, he assumes the position of content manager.
