Jason Dufner had a vacancy on the left breast of his shirt, but it was filled on Saturday morning in a last-minute deal with hotel chain Wyndham Worldwide.

The 36-hole co-leader and 2011 PGA Championship runner-up is wearing the logo of the company’s Wyndham Hotels & Resorts brand for the weekend, according to Bloomberg News Service.

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, but Dufner could receive a bonus if he wins the green jacket. The deal may also be extended beyond the year’s first major.
