Norton, Mass. (August 31, 2012) – PGA TOUR standout Hunter Mahan treated Sun Life Financial employees and clients to an interactive golf skills clinic at TPC Boston as part of the Deutsche Bank Championship, the second stop on the PGA TOUR Playoffs. The lucky guests practiced their chip-shots on the 12^th green while Mahan, who is sponsored by Sun Life Financial, offered tips and one-on-one instruction before retreating to the Sky Chalet for a special reception.

Sun Life announced its partnership with Mahan, the company's first professional golf sponsorship, in February 2011. As part of the multi-year agreement, the golfer wears a hat prominently featuring Sun Life's logo during all competitive events. Sun Life also has the right to use Mahan’s name and likeness globally, as well as access to personal appearances, a golf clinic and hospitality benefits.
