Though Brazil won't discuss specifics of how much each company is giving to the tournament, the tournament sponsor level starts at $100,000.
Last year, Brazil said, there were six companies that were at or close to the $100,000 level in sponsorship. This year, 11 have already committed to that amount or more.
