Announcing this here today, Pawan Munjal, Vice-Chairman & Managing Director, Hero MotoCorp Ltd, said, "This title sponsorship of the Hero World Challenge is reflective of Brand Hero's rapidly expanding global footprint.
"Having been associated with the game in India for over two decades, and being the title sponsor of the Hero Indian Open for both men and women for several years, it is only befitting that we should be stepping on to the global arena of golf with the Hero World Challenge."
Woods said: "This tournament has been an ntegral part of my foundation since 1999 and has raised USD 25 million for my foundation and local charities. We are thrilled to partner with Tavistock Group to make the tournament an even stronger platform for the game of golf and I am very excited to welcome Hero MotoCorp as title sponsor.
