Colorado lost one of its major annual corporate-networking events Wednesday when The International golf tournament was canceled.
Tournament officials confirmed Wednesday that the annual tournament has been shelved because it was unable to secure a title sponsor.
The International, held at the Castle Pines Golf Club in Castle Rock since 1986, has been without a title sponsor since 2004, when Qwest declined to renew its five-year contract.
Colorado lost another major sporting event this month when the Champ Car World Series removed the Grand Prix of Denver from its schedule. The lack of a title sponsor - Centennial-based Centrix withdrew last year after business problems - was cited as a factor.
