AVIS, one of the world’s best known car rental brands, has
today announced a multi-year extension of its partnership as the Official
Rental Car Company of the PGA TOUR, PGA TOUR Champions and Korn Ferry Tour.
The agreement, through 2028, will continue to provide rental

worldwide. AVIS has been an Official Marketing Partner and the preferred rental
car company of the PGA TOUR since 2011.
“For nearly 15 years, AVIS has safely and reliably gotten
PGA TOUR athletes, staff and fans to their next destination,” said Brian
Oliver, PGA TOUR Executive Vice President, Corporate Partnerships. “The
flexibility and availability offered by AVIS is critical when conducting
multiple tournaments around the world on a given week, and we are delighted to
continue our longstanding relationship with them into the future.”
“AVIS is proud to extend its long-standing relationship with
the PGA TOUR. Our team of 25,000 driven employees are honored to be trusted
with the travel plans of PGA TOUR athletes, staff and millions of fans,” said
Jessica Kornacki, Vice President, Marketing, AVIS. "As the busy summer
travel season kicks off, there's no better time to hit the road in your AVIS
rental car and enjoy a thrilling PGA TOUR event."
The extended partnership will see the rental car provider
engage with PGA TOUR fans across the FedExCup season through its AVIS ‘Plan on
Us’ campaign, highlighting the company’s legacy of being trusted with
customer’s travel plans, over and over again. For 75 years, AVIS’s only plan is
