Baltimore-based STX, LLC, a global sporting goods leader, announced today its sponsorship of the STX Match Play Tournament during Baltimore’s College Golf Weekend hosted by Towson University.

The three-day tournament will be held Sept. 8-10.

Seven players from each school will compete in match play competition. The tournament will take place Sept. 8-9 at 7:30 a.m. and Sept. 10 at 1:30pm.

“This is first time in ten years that a tournament of this kind will be held in the Baltimore Metro area, giving residents a rare opportunity to see these elite players compete,” said Steve Henneman, Director of Golf at STX. “As a Baltimore-based company, we are excited to sponsor the tournament and help promote golf in our community.”

STX will sponsor a practice round for students where they will have the opportunity to test out and play with the latest STX putters before the tournament on Sept. 7 at 8:00 a.m. There will also be a skills competition after the practice rounds for competing athletes.
