All Nippon Airways Inks in Sponsorship Extension of ANA Inspiration Through 2022 - and 'Hopefully Forever!', says Airline President
LPGA Commissioner Mike Whan enjoyed his "second best day in the LPGA" when he and Yuji Hirako, Chief Executive Officer and President of All Nippon Airways Co. Ltd, formally signed a three-year extension of ANA's title sponsorship of the LPGA Tour's first major of the season, the ANA Inspiration.
The duo put pen to paper in a brief signing ceremony conducted in the spectacular surrounds of The Edge Steakhouse at The Ritz-Carlton in Rancho Mirage, with stunning views below of the Coachella Valley's desert landscape and in the distance the rugged Santa Rosa Mountains.
