SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (May 24, 2011) – Gateway Pro Tour announced yesterday that SuperShuttle, one of the largest airport shuttle businesses in the United States, is the latest to become a sponsor of the 2011 Gateway Pro Tour.
SuperShuttle pioneered the shared ride transportation concept more than 25 years ago and today provides rides for more than eight million passengers per year at 37 airports in the U.S., France and Sweden.
“We are delighted to support up and coming golfers by sponsoring the Gateway Pro Tour,” said Ken Testani, senior vice president of global marketing for SuperShuttle. “We hope our support will allow more golfers to reach their dreams.”
Sponsors provide an essential resource for Gateway Pro Tour. Some of the ways sponsor money allows for the continued growth, success, and recognition of Gateway Pro Tour are – Tour expansion, increased purse sizes, Nationwide and PGA TOUR exemptions, Q-School bonuses, administration, tournament equipment and materials, charity golf tournaments, community involvement and enhanced membership benefits.
“Sponsors are extremely important to the growth of our Tour and we are thankful for the support we receive from companies like SuperShuttle,” said Ryan Pray, Executive Director of Gateway Pro Tour.
SuperShuttle also offers a luxury car service for those wanting a private, more comfortable “business class” service. ExecuCar offers private late model sedans with professional business-attired chauffeurs 24 hours a day.
Rides with SuperShuttle and ExecuCar can be booked online, by phone, or from any smart phone with web capabilities. The SuperShuttle mobile options also provide customers with the location of their assigned vehicle by incorporating the SuperShuttle “Where’s My Van?” Google map locator function.
