June 27 (Reuters) - The PGA Tour will have two new title sponsors for its 2016-17 season as it reverts back to traditional dates after changes for this year to accommodate golf's return to the Olympic Games, the Tour said on Monday.
The sport's most lucrative circuit starts in mid-October and will comprise 47 tournaments before it concludes with the Sept. 21-24 Tour Championship in Atlanta, the last of the four prestigious FedExCup playoff events.
Supermarket chain Safeway takes over as sponsor of the season-opening Safeway Open from Oct. 13-16 at Silverado Resort and Spa in Napa, California, while luxury car brand Genesis backs the long established event at iconic Riviera Country Club.
