Dufner, who won the 2013 PGA Championship, will don the FBN logo on his shirt collar starting Monday.

“You will see our brand logos on his apparel, and then we will talk to him as the season progresses about personal appearances on the channel and, obviously, social media,” said Jones, who declined to discuss how much FBN was paying in the sponsorship pact.
