PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Florida – PGA TOUR Americas announced Wednesday that BioSteel Sports Inc. will be the title sponsor of the BioSteel Championship, the tour’s annual stop in Windsor, Ontario. Formerly the Windsor Championship (2018, 2019, 2023), the 2024 BioSteel Championship will be contested August 1-4 at Ambassador Golf Club in Windsor, Ontario.

Past participants of the BioSteel Championship include PGA TOUR members Taylor Pendrith, Jake Knapp, Paul Barjon and Hayden Springer, the 2023 Fortinet Cup champion. Since the tournament began in 2018, the event has raised over $250,000 for local charities and generated $3 million of economic impact in Windsor.

“We’re excited to partner with BioSteel and look forward to continuing to positively impact the Windsor community as we showcase the next generation of PGA TOUR players,” said Adam Wagner, tournament director for the BioSteel Championship. “With the support of an industry leader such as BioSteel, the BioSteel Championship will raise significant funds for charity, showcase our fantastic city, generate economic activity and instill civic pride.”

Since being founded in Toronto in 2009, BioSteel has become a leading provider of premium, healthy hydration and sports nutrition designed to support a healthy, active lifestyle. BioSteel has emerged as a trailblazer in the sports and fitness industry, driven by their commitment to clean ingredients that promote better performance and recovery.

“We are thrilled to announce BioSteel as the title sponsor for the BioSteel Championship on PGA TOUR Americas,” said Dan Crosby, CEO of BioSteel. “This partnership represents a significant step in our mission to provide clean, healthy hydration and sports nutrition to athletes and active individuals around the world. The BioSteel Championship embodies excellence, dedication, and peak performance — values that align perfectly with BioSteel’s commitment to supporting athletes at every level. We look forward to an exciting tournament ahead and to keeping the players and fans fueled with our premium hydration and sports nutrition products.”

The BioSteel Championship is a 72-hole event where 156 players compete for a $225,000 purse and to earn points toward the season-long Fortinet Cup points list. At the conclusion of the 16-event season, the top 10 players in the Fortinet Cup points list will earn Korn Ferry Tour cards for the 2025 season.
