The sponsors of last week's world golf championship event won by Ernie Els in Miami have decided not to renew their backing, it was confirmed on Wednesday.

The PGA Tour is seeking a new title sponsor for the tournament, which is staged at the TPC Blue Monster at Doral resort and spa.

"The CA Championship has provided some amazing tournaments with thrilling finishes," said PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem.

"There is a tremendous amount of interest in the World Golf Championships - the great fields, global exposure, incredible venues - and we will move forward in securing a new title sponsor for the CA Championship.

"We are confident we will be at TPC Blue Monster at Doral next year."

Software company CA took over as sponsors from American Express in 2007, the same year Tiger Woods secured the title for the sixth time in eight events, all on different courses.

The event has also featured at Doral since 2007 having previously moved from other venues in the United States and Europe.
