ANAHEIM, CA (February 27, 2007) — John Deere Golf & Turf One Source™ today announced an agreement of principle to become the Exclusive Golf Course Irrigation Supplier to the PGA TOUR and TPC Network. This agreement is in addition to John Deere's current status as both the Official Equipment Supplier and the Official One Source Supplier to the TOUR.
"This is an affirmation of the quality and innovation of John Deere Golf Irrigation systems," said Gregg Breningmeyer, director, sales and marketing, John Deere One Source. "It's also a confirmation of the unparalleled distributor support the TOUR has experienced through our current relationship."
According to Breningmeyer, John Deere will supply golf irrigation systems and ongoing maintenance and support for all PGA TOUR and PGA–owned properties. The initial installation of John Deere Golf Irrigation will begin with the TOUR's new championship–length course in Scottsdale, Ariz. The course is slated to open in November, 2007.
"I've seen for myself the quality of John Deere's golf irrigation products and am pleased to extend our valuable partnership," said David Pillsbury, president, PGA TOUR Golf Course Properties. "It's an affiliation our courses have benefited from on the equipment and soft goods side and we're looking forward to adding John Deere Golf Irrigation to the mix. These iconic brands — the PGA TOUR, the TPC Network and John Deere — are a natural fit."
The PGA TOUR's agreement with John Deere is in effect until 2014.
