Sponsor expected for PGA Tour’s Austin Championship after Good Good controversy

The inaugural PGA Tour's Austin Championship, scheduled for November 12-15 at Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa's Fazio Canyons Course, will now be backed by a major sponsor, Compliance Solutions, after facing controversy over its original title sponsor, Good Good. The decision comes just two weeks before the event, providing much-needed stability as the Tour prepares for the tournament's debut.

Good Good stepped away from the title sponsorship following criticism over a promotional video that depicted a man shoving a woman to the ground, promoting a new Callaway driver. The PGA Tour is expected to officially announce Compliance Solutions as the presenting sponsor as early as Monday.
