Oil major Shell is to end its sponsorship of the Houston Open after next year.
The move will bring to a close the third-longest running title sponsorship on the PGA Tour.
Chief executive of the Houston Golf Association, Steve Timms, said the decision to leave was part of the current energy marketplace challenges.
Shell has been title sponsor of the Houston Open since 1992.
Timms said: “We’re proud as heck of what will be 26 years of a long-running sponsorship. This will present some opportunities for us.
“We’re confident in our property. We’re in a big market place and we feel good about it.”
