Swing Control has sponsored this “kickoff event” for the summer three years sequentially
MONTRĖAL, CA. – Swing Control, manufacturers of the performance-based golf and lifestyle apparel brand, is a proud sponsor of the 2023 ShopRite LPGA Classic presented by Acer. This weeklong event will be played from June 5th through June 11th in Galloway, (greater Atlantic City), New Jersey. The Swing Control sponsorship program was developed to support the LPGA and its community as well as the Swing Control brand.
“We’re excited about the ShopRite LPGA Classic sponsorship. It provides us with an opportunity to get the brand and our products directly in front of the LPGA community which includes the professionals, Pro-Am participants, volunteers, and attendees,” said Swing Control Brand Manager Josh Mark.
Swing Control will be a vendor in the Pro-Am Gifting Suite and unlike most Pro-Ams, it is a two-day event which will provide the company with keen exposure. Day one includes the “Women’s Executive Golf Day” which is by invitation only and this segment of players is considered the key Swing Control demographic. The Swing Control contribution for the Pro-Am participants is a gift card to the company website with a value of up to $900. Swing Control will be recognized onsite with branded signage and included on collateral and/or communication materials.
ShopRite LPGA Classic Pro-Am is noted as the largest in all professional golf. The two-day event includes golf with an LPGA Professional and inclusion of all the Pro-Am festivities. For more information, please visit ShopRite LPGA Classic | A Shore Tradition.
About ShopRite LPGA Classic Presented by Acer:
The ShopRite LPGA Classic Presented by Acer proudly returned to Atlantic City and the LPGA in 2010 to the Bay Course at Seaview. The 54-hole event is annually contested in late spring and has awarded millions in prize money. ShopRite has served as the title sponsor since 1992. In 2013, Acer was added as a presenting sponsor.
The tournament debuted at Seaview in 1986 and moved to Greate Bay Country Club in Somers Point from 1988-1997, before returning to Seaview in 1998, where it has been held ever since. The event is contested as a 54-hole tournament played over three days, except for 1990 and 2020 when it was a four-day, 72-hole event.
Fans from all over the northeast make this an annual destination, stimulating the local economy. According to a study conducted by the Lloyd Levenson Institute of Gaming & Hospitality Tourism, over 90 percent of attendees come from outside Atlantic County and annually create an estimated $19.2 million in new economic activity. Official rounds are broadcast to over 500 million households in 175 territories around the world on NBC’s Golf Channel – making this a true showcase for the greater Atlantic City region.
The tournament was originally known as the Atlantic City LPGA Classic. Its name was changed in 1992 to the ShopRite LPGA Classic when Wakefern Food Corporation took over as the sponsor. The tournament was not held from 2007-2009 but returned in 2010 as a three-day tournament to be played at the same course.
