About AIG

As chairman and chief executive officer of AIG, Peter Zaffino guides the leading global insurer in its mission to create meaningful impact and dynamically change the world.

He has also driven company efforts to support outside causes, most notably, the AIG Women’s Open.

Zaffino is a supporter for women in golf, business and beyond. He has continually championed the AIG Women’s Open for its display of elite competition and its positive impact on women in sports and society at large.

Driving Change at the AIG Women’s Open

Since AIG’s first year as title sponsor in 2019, Mr. Zaffino has continued to promote the championship — expanding its reach to an international audience to garner much-deserved attention for the prestigious event.

To further amplify women’s sports, he has also leveraged AIG’s sponsorship to increase the prize fund by more than 125%.

In 2023, Mr. Zaffino and The R&A CEO Martin Slumbers announced that AIG and The R&A extended their partnership through 2030. At the time of the announcement, Mr. Zaffino expressed AIG’s commitment to the championship, stating 'we are proud to be the title sponsor of the AIG Women’s Open' and reinforcing the company’s 'tremendous partnership with and respect for The R&A'.

Elevating Women’s Leadership in the Workplace

Alongside efforts to shine a light on women’s golf, the AIG Women’s Open has also previously extended a hand to women in business.

In 2023, against the backdrop of the championship, Mr. Zaffino and AIG hosted a women’s leadership event that brought high-potential women insurance professionals together for career development and networking.
