Mitsubishi Electric US and PGA TOUR Champions are announcing a five-year partnership extension, with both the Mitsubishi Electric Championship at Hualalai, Hawaii and the Mitsubishi Electric Classic presented by Vensure in Duluth continuing through 2030.
PGA Tour Champions President Miller Brady says: “We are proud to continue building upon our wonderful partnership with Mitsubishi Electric, which dates more than 15 years. The success of both tournaments is a testament to the shared values and vision between our organizations.”
He adds: “Everyone involved in our Tour looks forward to starting the season at the Mitsubishi Electric Championship at Four Seasons Resort Hualalai each year. In addition, the Mitsubishi Electric Classic at TPC Sugarloaf in Gwinnett County has proven to be a premier event on our schedule, showcasing top-tier competition and community engagement. We are incredibly grateful for the fantastic relationship that we have had with Mitsubishi Electric and look forward to an even brighter future together.”
Mitsubishi Electric has served as the title sponsor of the Mitsubishi Electric Championship at Hualalai since 2009 and as title sponsor of the Mitsubishi Electric Classic presented by Vensure since 2016.
The PGA Tour Champions will return to Duluth, for the Mitsubishi Electric Classic at Sugarloaf Country Club on April 21-27. Stephen Ames won the Mitsubishi Electric Classic each of the past two seasons and now looks forward to joining Padraig Harrington and Steve Stricker as recent Champions Tour players to successfully win an event in three consecutive seasons.
Malcolm X’s daughter shares “hope” with GGC students
Hope. That’s the thrust of the message that Dr. Ilyasah Shabazz brought to Georgia Gwinnett College (GGC) students during a keynote speech on Friday. Her remarks to nearly 400 GGC students were the centerpiece of a day to honor and celebrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
“I want them to understand that they have both the power and responsibility to continue this work in their own communities,” she said. “Each generation must do more than stand on the shoulders of those who came before; they must chart their own course toward justice. As the saying goes, ‘if you want to go fast, go alone, but if you want to go far, go together.’ This work isn’t just about surviving – it’s about thriving and doing so, together.”
As the daughter of the late Malcolm X, she also shared personal stories about the interactions of the two families during a Q&A session after her speech.
