Newsletter Century 21 CENTURY 21 Becomes Major Sponsor of Australian Open

Boasting prize money of US$1.3 million, The Australian Open promises to be an exciting week of golf with defending champion Adam Scott competing alongside Stuart Appleby, Geoff Ogilvy, Fred Couples, John Daly  and five-time winner Greg Norman.

 “Century 21 has been a supporter of Australian golf at different levels for over 15 years and believes sponsorship of the Open will deliver strong value for our company and brand,” said Charles Tarbey, Owner and Chairman of Century 21 Australia.

“When we recently became aware an opportunity existed to sponsor the Australian Open we quickly moved to forge a partnership with what is one of Australasia’s most renowned golf tournaments,” said Charles Tarbey.

The Australian Open was first played in 1904 and has been won by the biggest names in the game.  South African Gary Player has lifted the Stonehaven Cup a record seven times while Jack Nicklaus from the United States triumphed on six occasions.

The Australian Open will be showcased on OneAsia’s television platform with live coverage for four hours a day across all four tournament days, and broadcast to over 260 million homes in more than 40 countries.

“Century 21 is a prestigious international brand, just like the Australian Open. These strong brand synergies coupled with the enormous exposure the Century 21 brand will receive across Australia and the world – made sponsoring the event an incredibly attractive proposition,” continued Charles Tarbey.

“Century 21 remains proud of its ongoing support of Australian golf and expects this year’s Australian Open to be very exciting for all involved,” concluded Charles Tarbey.

Full coverage of the event will be available domestically on Network Ten, as well as internationally on ESPN Star Sports, Jupiter Golf Network, SBS Golf Channel, Fox International, Sky Sports NZ, ESPN3 and America One in the USA, and ViaSat and Bloomberg Television among others in Europe.
