Compliance Solutions is set to sponsor the PGA Tour's Austin Championship after Good Good's exit

The PGA Tour has found someone to help pay for the tournament Good Good walked away from. Compliance Solutions, a Florida-based tax and accounting firm, is set to become a presenting sponsor of the Austin Championship, Front Office Sports and Golfweek reported Thursday. The deal covers this year only, and FOS's sources said the company is not paying the full $6 million that Good Good Golf had been set to pay as host and sponsor.

Golfweek, citing local sources, reported that the PGA Tour is expected to make it official soon, possibly as early as Monday. The tour declined to comment to FOS.

How Austin lost its sponsor

The event launched as the Good Good Championship, a FedEx Cup Fall stop scheduled for Nov. 12-15 on the Fazio Canyons Course at Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa. Good Good, the YouTube creator group, pulled out of the sponsorship on Aug. 27 after backlash over a promotional video it made with then-partner Callaway for a new driver. The ad showed a man shoving a woman to the ground. Good Good also lost its Callaway deal and its Golf Channel show, and stores pulled its merchandise, according to FOS. The tour renamed the event and promised to play it on schedule with the full $6 million purse.

Why this sponsor

Compliance Solutions is already a tour partner. It has been title sponsor of the Compliance Solutions Championship, a $1.5 million Korn Ferry Tour event in Owasso, Oklahoma, since 2023, and it backed the Route 66 Cup, a season-long $100,000 bonus pool that wrapped up at that tournament at Patriot Golf Club. FOS's sources said the existing relationship made for a faster deal than starting from scratch with a new company.

Practice rounds start in 11 days, which leaves the company almost no runway to promote its name on the event, and FOS reported that is why it is paying less than a full naming-rights deal would cost. Two weeks from the first tee shot, a partial check from a partner the tour already knows is about as good an outcome as the tour could expect. It also shows the risk in handing a tournament's name to a creator brand: when Good Good stumbled, the event lost its title, its host and most of its budget at once.

What to watch

Look for the tour's announcement as early as Monday, Nov. 2, and for whether the tournament takes on a new name. The first round is Thursday, Nov. 12, at Barton Creek.
