Computacenter, Britain's leading provider of IT infrastructure services, has put in £35,000 to become the title sponsor for the Grand Final.
The two-day Justin Rose Ladies Series Grand Final is set to be held at two venues on 6-7 August. The Berkshire is to host the first round and the second is to be played at Wentworth's West Course, which is the home of the men's European Tour's flagship event the PGA Championship.
With Computacenter on board, the Justin Rose Ladies' Series has been extended from six to seven 18-hole tournaments before the 36-hole grand final in August.
Justin and Kate Rose are contributing £35,000 towards the prize money, American Golf are contributing £35,000 to sponsor an Order of Merit prize fund and now Computacenter are contributing £35,000 to become the title sponsor for the Grand Final.
In addition, all nine golf courses are giving up their facilities free of charge and Sky Sports is broadcasting the series.
Justin Rose's Agent, Paul McDonnell said:
"We are lucky that Computacenter and American Golf have come on board, because they have made it a much more attractive and rewarding series."
"The series has really snowballed and it is great that these talented players have a chance to play in meaningful competition."
Computacenter's Managing Director, Neil Hall, said:
"Computacenter is absolutely committed to driving diversity in the Tech Industry and creating an environment where women can excel"
"We are proud to support Justin and Kate in providing a powerful platform for women's golf, both now and in the future. We look forward to a longstanding future."
