The tournament will formally be renamed the HomeTown Lenders Championship. For the third consecutive year, the event will be played at The Ledges.

“We are thrilled to welcome HomeTown Lenders as a title sponsor on the Korn Ferry Tour,” said Korn Ferry Tour President Alex Baldwin. “Over the last two years, The Ledges has proven to be a phenomenal host for our players, fans, partners and staff.

“HomeTown Lenders is a staple in the city of Huntsville, and we are so excited to work alongside Billy Taylor and his team to put on a world-class golf tournament – and more importantly, to make a positive impact – in this community.”

Next year’s HomeTown Lenders Championship will be held the week of April 24-30.

“HomeTown Lenders is thrilled to partner with the Korn Ferry Tour and the PGA TOUR,” said HomeTown Lenders CEO Billy Taylor. “We have personally experienced the first-class tournaments hosted on the PGA Tour and Korn Ferry Tour and the overwhelmingly positive community response. In kinship with the high standard set by the Korn Ferry Tour, HomeTown Lenders built our business around community involvement, both to provide best in business and as a way to give back to the communities we serve.

“We recognize the parallels with the Korn Ferry Tour and are eager to walk side by side in excellence as a business and as people. We see this as a great opportunity to say thank you and to continue building the relationships that we have to date.”
The HomeTown Lenders Championship is a 72-hole tournament featuring 156 of the top players from around the world. The Ledges opened in 2000 just off Carl T. Jones Drive in south Huntsville. The course has an elevation of 1,582 feet, the highest point in Huntsville.

“The Ledges is excited to welcome HomeTown Lenders as the title sponsor of our Korn Ferry Tour Tournament,” said The Ledges COO Jim Ausley. “This title sponsorship exemplifies Knight Eady and the Korn Ferry Tour’s unwavering commitment to this tournament and the city of Huntsville. HomeTown Lenders’ support will continue to build on the tournament’s success, bringing more opportunities for people to enjoy a high level of professional golf being played on our course while highlighting the wonderful city of Huntsville.

“The Ledges is grateful to both Knight Eady and HomeTown Lenders for their positive impact on this event, and we look forward to an exciting year ahead.”

“We’ve been extremely grateful for the support of our sponsors, The Ledges and the Huntsville community for the past two years. Because of their commitment, we have created a strong foundation for this tournament,” said Knight Eady Executive Vice President for Development Chris Nix. “The addition of HomeTown Lenders as our title sponsor further solidifies the newly named HomeTown Lenders Championship as one of the flagship stops on the Korn Ferry Tour.”
