The 2011 Champions Series is a competitive tennis circuit featuring legendary tennis icons and world-renowned champions Andre Agassi, Pete Sampras, John McEnroe, Jim Courier, Bjorn Borg, Michael Chang and Mats Wilander. The champions compete for the #1 ranking of the Champions Series with $1 million of bonus pool money on the line for the top three finishers on the circuit at the end of the season.

"We are equally proud to welcome such a prestigious brand as IZOD to our family of corporate partners and look forward to a great season with them", said Jonathan Venison, Founding Partner of InsideOut Sports & Entertainment.
