PGA Tour's tournament in Utah has a new title sponsor for the next 3 years: Bank of Utah
After its first season as the Black Desert Championship, the PGA Tour's stop in southern Utah has a new title sponsor.
For the second playing of the event in October, the tournament at Black Desert Resort will be known as the Bank of Utah Championship.
When the inaugural event was held last year, it was the first Tour stop in the state of Utah in more than 60 years. The new deal is a three-year contract through 2027. The 2025 tournament will be held Oct. 23-26 during the Tour's FedEx Cup Fall.
"After celebrating a successful return to Utah last year, the PGA Tour is pleased to introduce Bank of Utah as title sponsor of our event at Black Desert Resort, which received rave reviews from Tour players and families following the inaugural 2024 tournament," said Tyler Dennis, PGA Tour Chief Competitions Officer. "The Bank of Utah Championship is staged in one of the most unique settings found on the PGA Tour schedule, and we are eager to welcome a proud Utah company into the fold ahead of the second rendition later this fall."

The Black Desert Golf Course was the final design by the late Tom Weiskopf. Black Desert Resort also hosts the LPGA, with its inaugural tournament held last May.
Opened in 2023, the golf course has received multiple accolades in its short time in existence.
Black Desert ranks 34th on the Golfweek's Best 2025: Top 100 public-access courses in the U.S. list, 96th on the Golfweek's Best 2025: Top 200 Modern Courses in the U.S. list, and it's the No. 1-ranked course in Utah on the Golfweek's Best 2025: Top public-access golf courses in every state.
