Tournament director Drago on Sunday confirmed a Friday report by Golfweek that AT&T indicated a desire to end its sponsorship of the Nelson after this year’s tournament, despite an agreement with the Nelson’s host organization, the Salesmanship Club, that runs through 2024.

Those events are two of the PGA Tour’s 17 Designated Events, with purses of $20-million-plus and guaranteed star-studded fields.
