Belfor ended up sponsoring Hadwin,
paying the golfer to have the company's
logo at first on his golf bag and later
on his shirt. It turned out to be a savvy
investment; within a year Hadwin would
be low Canadian at the internationally
televised
RBC Canadian Open, an event he
nearly won in 2011. And as Hadwin's status
in golf rose—he's now a regular on the
PGA
Tour after leading the Web.com Tour in
2014—Belfor's connection remained.
"They are friends of mine," says
Hadwin, 27, from Abbotsford, B.C. "There's
a real sense of family with them and
certainly from a business standpoint I think
it has helped them."
This year, Hadwin isn't the only B.C.
golfer searching for corporate dollars as
they chase their
PGA Tour dream. In fact,
