FedExCup Fall Event Returns to Black Desert Resort, featuring a par-72 Black Desert Golf Course designed by the late Tom Weiskopf, the final design from the 2024 World Golf Hall of Fame inductee, scheduled for Oct. 23-26, 2025.

Bank of Utah is again the title sponsor of the PGA Tour’s Utah event at Black Desert Resort, now called the Bank of Utah Championship. The tournament debuted in 2024, marking the first in the state in more than 60 years, and will return from Oct. 23–26, 2025. Matt McCarty won last year’s event.

McCarty is set to defend his title at the 2025 Bank of Utah Championship.

“After celebrating a successful return to Utah last year, the PGA TOUR is pleased to introduce Bank of Utah as the title sponsor of our event at Black Desert Resort, which received rave reviews from TOUR players and families following the inaugural 2024 tournament,” said Tyler Dennis, PGA TOUR Chief Competitions Officer. “The Bank of Utah Championship takes place in one of the most unique settings on the PGA TOUR schedule, and we’re eager to welcome a proud Utah company into the fold for the second edition later this fall.”

Coverage will be available on GOLF Channel, PGA TOUR LIVE on ESPN+, SiriusXM, and internationally via the TOUR’s World Feed.

“Since 1952, Bank of Utah has played a key role in the state’s growth, helping individuals, families, and businesses build strong financial foundations and communities. As a trusted partner to generations of Utahns, the bank is proud to carry that legacy forward through this collaboration with the PGA TOUR,” according to a release.

The agreement extends Bank of Utah’s role as the event’s title sponsor through 2027.

“Utah is an iconic place of striking beauty and innovative spirit – and Black Desert Resort captures both,” said Branden P. Hansen, President of Bank of Utah. “As Utah grows into a premier destination for professional sports, we’re proud to invest in events that elevate our state, boost local economies, and create meaningful experiences for our clients and communities. This partnership is more than a sponsorship – it celebrates what makes Utah exceptional and serves as a powerful platform to drive long-term impact across the state.”

In addition to the Bank of Utah Championship, Black Desert Resort also hosts an annual LPGA Tour event, with the inaugural tournament taking place this past May.

“This partnership with Bank of Utah represents more than a title sponsorship; it’s a shared commitment to shaping Utah’s future through world-class experiences,” said Jared Lucero, CEO of Reef Capital Partners, the Utah-based development and real estate firm responsible for Black Desert Resort. “Together, we’re proud to showcase what’s possible when visionary companies invest in the power of sport, tourism, and community. The Bank of Utah Championship isn’t just a tournament; it’s a statement about where Utah is headed.”
