Vortex Weather Insurance can protect your event with Rain IQ
Overland Park, KS – Since 2008, Vortex Insurance Agency, a weather risk insurance agency, has offered a variety of weather insurance products for outdoor events such as fairs, festivals and concerts. Weather can spoil more than just the event especially when thousands of dollars are raised at charity golf tournaments held annually across the United States. Vortex Weather Insurance (www.vortexinsurance.com) announces the release of RainIQTM (https://vortexinsurance.com/golf-quote/) , an online insurance portal that will allow the golf industry to protect event revenue, obtain instant hourly rain data and purchase weather insurance for Tour events, Pro-Ams, amateur tournaments, charity fundraisers, corporate outings, and more.
Bad weather is bad business for golf. As a tournament director or head golf professional responsible for running an event, you can’t predict the weather but RainIQ can protect your event, your reputation and ensure its success. Vortex Weather Insurance and RainIQ help protect your golf course from increased expenses or loss of revenue caused by rain, heat, cold, or a combination. Our products range from data-driven hourly policies that insure your one-time event to long-term solutions that reduce risk and help protect your bottom line.

RainIQ makes understanding weather insurance and its benefits simple and easy. The portal can customize your course or tournament needs providing free, flexible and local information and policy costs.
Some of the perks of using RainIQTM include:
- Affordable quotes available in minutes
- No application necessary to get a quote
- Requires minimal data input
- Customizes a policy based on your budget
- Coverage for pre-defined hourly periods using targeted local data

“With our new RainIQTM portal, customers can instantly see hourly rain insurance quotes for any location in the continental United States,” said Andy Klaus, Lead Weather Index Insurance Producer at Vortex. “We have made weather insurance understandable, affordable and more accessible.”
By taking advantage of recent advancements made by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Vortex Weather Insurance products offered via RainIQTM utilize localized-gridded weather data. Rainfall is calculated within a 2.5 mile-square box that includes the actual insured location. This innovation by Vortex allows for higher precision and accuracy – as compared to using an existing weather station as a measurement point that may be ten or even twenty miles away.
“Anyone charged with the execution of a high-end, costly event can relate to losing sleep with concerns about weather issues,” said Jeff Voorheis, Executive Director, MET PGA Section. “The Metropolitan PGA has partnered
with Vortex Weather Insurance for our association events and also as a benefit for our Section Professionals to provide weather insurance for their most important events and outings.”
Golf is an unpredictable sport, and so is the weather. Vortex offers insurance products nationwide and can help protect your golf event from weather risk any day or any time. For more information or to obtain a quote, contact Eric Anderson, 203-550-6150, eanderson@guaranteedweather.com.
