In a report by Golfweek's Beth Ann Nichols, the USGA and ProMedica have parted ways just one year into their 10-year partnership, with USGA CEO, Mike Whan, confirming to Golfweek that the two organizations reached a separation agreement about a month ago, after ProMedica’s business took a downward turn.
In 2022, ProMedica became the US Women's Open first ever presenting sponsor, with the health and well-being organization providing a $10 million tournament purse, almost doubling the $5.5 million prize money from the previous year. There was also talk of an increase in the purse to $12 million over the next five years.
