Greenville, S.C. - September 17, 2014 - SYNNEX Corporation (NYSE: SNX), a leading distributor of IT products and services with its US distribution headquarters in Greenville, SC, today announced a three-year sponsorship agreement with PGA Tour standout Bill Haas. In addition to the SYNNEX logo appearing on Haas' apparel at PGA Tour events, SYNNEX continues as the presenting sponsor of the Bill Haas Charity Classic, Haas' annual Pro-Am tournament in Greenville that benefits local charitable organizations.
"SYNNEX is proud to extend our relationship with Bill Haas to include a three-year sponsorship while he plays in PGA Tour events," said Bob Stegner, Senior Vice President, Marketing, North America, SYNNEX Corporation. "Bill has the level of visibility, reputation and personal appeal to bring the SYNNEX brand to a broader audience in more regions across the globe. He also shares SYNNEX' commitment to improving lives in the local communities where our employees work and live through charity events and close involvement with programs that benefit those in need."
