To support the partnership, the PGA Tour and Lilly ICOS are developing a series of golf-themed vignettes featuring top players from both tours. The vignettes will focus primarily on the emotional connection to the game with themes such as relaxation, preparation and confidence. The motivational vignettes will be shown during PGA Tour broadcasts throughout 2004 and will be featured on pgatour.com. The agreement also includes an on-site component, whereby Lilly ICOS will join MasterCard as a sponsor of the electronic scoreboards at PGA Tour and Champions Tour events. As such, it will receive a dedicated ad panel on each scoreboard. Lilly ICOS will also have the right to use the PGA Tour logo in advertising.
