Leading vodka brand to serve as presenting sponsor of high profile NJPGA events in 2017;
Tito’s on Tap promotion to serve as centerpiece of partnership, while Tito’s Transfusion
promotion will help raise funds for the NJ Golf Foundation’s charitable programs
Bedminster, N.J., May, 31, 2017… The New Jersey Section, PGA of America (NJPGA), today announced a partnership with Tito’s® Handmade Vodka (www.titosvodka.com), America’s original craft vodka, to serve as a sponsor for several high profile NJPGA golf events, programs and championships in 2017.
Highlighting the partnership, Tito’s Handmade Vodka will be a presenting sponsor at a series of weekly NJPGA Pro-Am events to include: The Ridge @ Back Brook on July 25th, Morris County Golf Club on July 20th and Montclair Golf Club on August 3rd. In addition to these events, Tito’s Handmade Vodka will also serve as a presenting sponsor at the annual NJPGA Charity Clambake Dinner on Tuesday, June 13th at the Trump National Golf Club, in Colts Neck, NJ.
A centerpiece of the experience golfers and PGA professionals will enjoy at each event is the “Tito’s on Tap” promotion, which offers freshly batched cocktails, created by the F & B of each individual club. The concept is great because it controls costs, reduces waste, increases speed and offers a very hard to make craft cocktail quickly! Additionally, Tito’s Handmade Vodka will present the NJ Golf Foundation, the charitable arm of the NJPGA, with $1 for every Tito’s Transfusion sold at Section facilities between Memorial Day and Labor Day.
“Partnering with a leading spirits brand like Tito’s Handmade Vodka is a home run for the NJPGA in our mission to continue serving the PGA Member and growing the game of golf,” said NJPGA Executive Director, Chris Bauer. “Not only will participating players get to experience and enjoy the Tito’s on Tap promotion at sponsored events, but the game here in New Jersey will benefit greatly from a new dedicated sponsor in our sport.” Bauer adds, “In addition to their support of our high profile golf events, Tito’s Handmade Vodka’s focus on charitable giving through the Tito’s Transfusion promotion, which will drive considerable dollars to our charitable arm, the NJ Golf Foundation, in supporting their mission to improve lives and communities through the game of golf.”
A final component of the partnership between Tito’s Handmade Vodka and the NJPGA will be a season long social media promotion, #LoveTitos, where followers can win a special Tito’s prize pack, including a golf bag, driver head cover and a dozen golf balls.
