#30 – Firestone Sponsors TOC for First Time

In 1965, Firestone begins its sponsorship of the PBA Tournament of Champions, a partnership that started at Firestone Bowlarama Lanes in Akron, Ohio. The partnership, which was the first commercially-titled sports event ever on national network television, lasted 29 consecutive years. In 1966, Fairlawn (Akron), Ohio based Riviera Lanes hosts its first Firestone Tournament of Champions and would become the iconic home to the Tour’s most prestigious major through 1994.
