DAYTONA BEACH, Florida — LPGA Commissioner Michael Whan and Symetra Financial Corporation CEO Tom Marra today announced that Symetra, a Bellevue, Washington-based provider of employee benefits, annuities and life insurance, has signed a multi-year agreement securing the naming rights for the Symetra Tour (formerly known as the LPGA Futures Tour).
Futures Tour alumnae Mo Martin and Jane Rah participated in today’s announcement at the LPGA’s season-ending CME Group Titleholders at Grand Cypress Golf Club in Orlando, Florida.
