Report: Dean & DeLuca ending Colonial sponsorship

One of the PGA Tour's most storied stops could once again be in search of a title sponsor.

According to a Fort Worth Star-Telegram report, title sponsor Dean & DeLuca has informed officials at Colonial Country Club that it "may be unable to meet its financial obligations" for the 2018 edition of the event, scheduled for May 24-27, despite being only two years into a six-year sponsorship agreement.

"While certainly disappointing, it is not a situation that we as a membership and staff are unfamiliar with," Rob Doby, club president, wrote in a letter to members.
