The private aircraft services provider also will join forces with sections in Southern California, South Florida, metropolitan New York and the Southwest to promote golf in local communities. Sections are basically groups of clubs geographically centered around a specific area.
Airshare’s relationship with the PGA started in 2022, when it sponsored the PGA Championship of Southern Hills in Tulsa.
“We knew we were going to be expanding into the Northeast around the time when the Ryder Cup was going to be taking place in New York, and we started conversations months ago about a partnership around that,” Airshare Chief Marketing Officer Andy Tretiak said. “It grew into something bigger as we both started to realize there’s a much bigger opportunity here for both PGA of America and Airshare to work together. We liked the idea of having these larger properties associated with it, but what was also important to us was the ability to create opportunities and activations within the local markets as well.”
Airshare also wanted to differentiate its partnership from those of competitors such as ONEflight, SkyShare, NetJets and VistaJet, which have been investing in brand ambassador programs centered around individual players.
The 107th PGA Championship will be May 12-18 at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina. The 2025 Ryder Cup will be Sept. 23-28 at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, New York.
