PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. (Jan. 8, 2013) – Hotel Fitness, a Brigadoon Fitness Company, and a global leader in offering complete fitness solutions for various types of commercial properties, has reached an agreement with The PGA of America to become the second presenting sponsor of the 2013 Junior PGA Championship, and the 41 Section Junior PGA Championships held nationwide. Hotel Fitness joins Under Armour, which became a presenting sponsor in 2010.

The 38th Junior PGA Championship will be held, July 30 – Aug. 2, at Trump National Golf Club – Washington, D.C., in Potomac Falls, Va.

"It is an honor to partner with Hotel Fitness for the Junior PGA Championship, annually the summer's premier junior championship," said PGA of America President Ted Bishop. "It will be exciting to work alongside their team to showcase some of the great young talent from across the country at both the local and national level."

The PGA of America founded the Junior PGA Championship nearly 40 years ago to attract the finest junior golfers and to date, more than 300,000 juniors have competed on the PGA Section level, in the PGA Junior Series and in select national tournaments to earn a berth in the prestigious Championship.

Past Junior PGA Champions include two-time major winner Cristie Kerr, 2008 U.S. Women's Open Champion Inbee Park, 2008 Masters Champion Trevor Immelman, 2001 PGA Champion David Toms as well as young LPGA Star Alexis Thompson.

The list of past and current stars who have competed in this championship also includes Solheim Cup stars Christina Kim, Angela Stanford and Michelle Wie as well as Ryder Cup fixtures Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods.

"Hotel Fitness is excited to sponsor the 38th Junior PGA Championship. This event highlights the incredible young talent out there. Seeing the level of play by these young golfers is why we are a part of this Championship. The level of play last year was impressive, and we expect this year to be just as good, if not better. We are pleased to be even a small part of these young players’ developing careers and look forward to seeing them advance to the next level of play." said Bruce Dye, CEO of Hotel Fitness, a Brigadoon Fitness Company.
