"Dedicated to the #PerfectDrive": Mercedes-Benz continues its partnership with the PGA Championship
The world’s best golfers will travel to Baltusrol, New Jersey, to contest the 98th PGA Championship this week, each aiming to lift the coveted Wanamaker Trophy.
Mercedes-Benz continues as “Official Patron of the PGA of America and Official Vehicle of the PGA Championship”, providing a fleet of vehicles to transport players, caddies, managers, hospitality guests and tournament VIPs throughout Championship week.
In the #mercedesbenz Performance Center, fans will have the opportunity to test their putting on a unique three-hole miniature #golf course as well as take a close look at their favourite vehicle line-up. This year’s display vehicles include the Mercedes-AMG S-Class Cabriolet, #mercedesbenz S-Class Coupe, #mercedesbenz S- and E-Class Sedan and the #mercedesbenz GLS.
Meanwhile, the #mercedesbenz Hole-in-One Challenge will return, giving spectators an opportunity to win a brand new #mercedesbenz E-Class if they can register an ace at a specially par-3, adjacent to Baltusrol’s 17th Hole.
Mercedes-Benz also supports several of the world’s leading international players. Brand ambassador #rickiefowler will be aiming to secure his first Major win. Meanwhile, Martin Kaymer will try to add a third to his collection. The German won the #pgachampionship in 2010, then added the U.S. Open, in 2014. #mercedesbenz Argentina ambassadors #emilianogrillo and Fabian Gomez will each play their second PGA Championships, after debuting last year at Whistling Straits.
Dr Jens Thiemer, Vice President Marketing #mercedesbenz Cars, said: “The #partnership with the PGA of America fits perfectly to our global #golf strategy – The best or nothing. We are proud to be the Official Patron of such an esteemed tournament and look forward to a fantastic week at the 2016 #pgachampionship.”
