One of the only things more consistent than European dominance in the most recent Ryder Cup matches has been the sight of the team captains following their players in their specially equipped Club Cars.
For the 37th Ryder Cup, Sept. 19-21 at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Ky., U.S. captain Paul Azinger and his European counterpart, Nick Faldo, again will be driving specially equipped Club Car golf cars.
In addition to the golf cars with the team logos that captains Azinger and Faldo will use to hustle between matches, Club Car is providing utility and hospitality vehicles for TV crews, marshals, rules officials, media and emergency personnel, totaling more than 300 vehicles for the matches. Club Car has been associated with The Ryder Cup and The European Tour as a sponsor since 1999.
"The Ryder Cup is golf's most prestigious international event and our association provides a highly visible and prestigious platform to showcase a wide range of products, build relationships and enhance the club Car brand around the world," said Gary Michel, president and CEO of Club Car.
