Partnership underscores CIBC’s connectivity to the local community and clients
PALM BEACH GARDENS FLORIDA, NOVEMBER 19, 2024—Today, The Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches and CIBC announced the expansion of their partnership, signing a multi-year extension with the tournament. The Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches is South Florida’s premier PGA TOUR event, returning to PGA National Resort’s Champion Course, from February 26 to March 2, 2025. The expanded partnership for CIBC includes the title of official Private Wealth and Commercial Banking Partner of the event, entitlement rights to the Champions Club and the presenting sponsor of the Women’s Leadership Forum.
“The expansion of our partnership with the Cognizant Classic reflects our dedication to supporting events that help foster connections while reinforcing our commitment to the community through local initiatives,” said Shawn Beber, President and CEO, CIBC Bank USA. “We look forward to this enhanced partnership that will elevate the tournament experience for fans and further highlight how our team members and financial center in Palm Beach are continuing to build and deepen relationships.”
During championship week, the Cognizant Classic hosts a Women’s Leadership Forum, where more than 150 prominent women leaders will gather to discuss leadership development and celebrate female empowerment. Notably, 2025 will mark the inaugural year with CIBC as the presenting sponsor for this impactful event.
The charitable impact remains the north star of the Cognizant Classic. In 2024, the tournament distributed over $6.5 million to more than 50 philanthropic organizations, including $2 million to Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation, the event’s main beneficiary. These charitable initiatives align closely with the values of CIBC, as they have directly engaged in supporting the Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation and their mission of providing healthcare to children in need.
CIBC will also continue to sponsor the Champions Club, offering guests distinctive views of the historic 17th hole complemented with prime seating and fine food and beverage options. Key amenities of the club include:
• A climate-controlled interior featuring a blend of indoor lounge seating and stadium style tip-up seats on the exterior patio
• All-inclusive food and beverage service throughout the day
• Buffet and bar locations conveniently situated within venue
• Multiple TVs streaming the tournament broadcast
“We couldn’t be more thrilled to expand our relationship with CIBC for the 2025 edition of the Cognizant Classic,” said Todd Fleming, Executive Director of the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches. “CIBC has been a great partner and their dedicated commitment to supporting important causes in the community such as women’s leadership and assisting local nonprofits is essential to the success of our event as we continue the tradition of giving back for years to come.”
