Pinnacle Financial Partners (NYSE: PNFP) today announced a multiyear sponsorship agreement with the PGA TOUR’s Cadillac Championship in Miami, Florida, marking the firm’s first PGA TOUR event partnership and a significant milestone in strengthening its presence in one of the Southeast’s most dynamic markets.
The three-year agreement establishes Pinnacle as the Official Bank of the Cadillac Championship, held April 29–May 3, 2026, at Trump National Doral’s Blue Monster. Pinnacle will also serve as the presenting partner of the tournament’s Pro-Am, including the Cadillac Championship Official Pro-Am presented by Pinnacle Financial Partners.
“This partnership reflects the way we approach growth, which is by investing in great markets, building relationships and showing up in meaningful ways,” said Michael Walker, Pinnacle’s South Florida group executive. “South Florida is an important part of Pinnacle’s future, and this gives us an opportunity to engage with clients and the community on a larger stage while introducing more people to our distinctive style of banking.”
The announcement follows the firm’s recent renewal of its partnership with PGA TOUR professional Russell Henley, who will debut Pinnacle-branded attire at the Masters Tournament on April 9. While this is an extension of an existing partnership between Henley and Synovus, together the initiatives represent the Pinnacle brand’s first entry into professional golf as the combined company builds on long-standing relationships and expands its brand across key markets.
“Everything we do starts with our people and the relationships they build in their communities,” Walker said. “As we continue to grow, partnerships like this help us connect with clients in new ways while staying true to the local decision-making and service model that sets us apart.”
The sponsorship also reflects Pinnacle’s continued momentum following its recent combination with Synovus to create one of the Southeast’s highest-performing regional banks. The firm is leveraging its expanded footprint and local leadership model to deepen relationships in high-growth regions while maintaining its focus on delivering distinctive service and effective advice.
The Cadillac Championship sponsorship includes prominent on-site and digital brand visibility. Pinnacle will have a leading presence throughout Pro-Am events, including branded on-course elements, hospitality opportunities and digital content developed in collaboration with the PGA TOUR.
