Mylan to sponsor PGA Tour event

PITTSBURGH Mylan will sponsor a PGA Tour Nationwide event near Pittsburgh, the generic drug maker announced Thursday.

The company said it would sponsor the event, dubbed the Mylan Classic, at Southpointe Golf Club in the Pittsburgh suburb of Canonsburg in September 2010.

“We are extremely proud to sponsor the Mylan Classic right in our own backyard at the Southpointe Golf Club in Canonsburg,” Mylan chairman and CEO Robert Coury said. “This sponsorship is very compatible with our longstanding charitable commitments to the communities where Mylan operates, and it’s another great example of an event that will have a significant and positive impact on the region in which it is held.”
