FRISCO, TX AND OVERLAND PARK, KS / ACCESS Newswire / March 31, 2025 / The PGA of America and Airshare announced today a new multi-year partnership: Airshare will be the "Official Private Aviation Provider" of the PGA of America and the Ryder Cup in 2025 and 2029, as well as the PGA Championship and PGA National Club Championship through 2029.
As part of the partnership, Airshare is also joining forces with the Southern California, South Florida, Metropolitan (New York) and Southwest PGA Sections in an effort to help promote golf in local communities.
"We are ecstatic to partner with Airshare, an outstanding leader in private aviation," said Jeff Price, PGA of America Chief Commercial & Philanthropy Officer. "Airshare's commitment to excellence and seamless travel solutions nationwide aligns perfectly with our mission to deliver a world-class experience at our Spectator Championships for our guests. Additionally, Airshare's dedication to four of our PGA Sections reflects a shared interest for growing the game of golf in communities across the country."
Airshare, one of the largest and fastest growing private aviation companies in the U.S., operates a fleet approaching 140 aircraft from coast to coast. For nearly 25 years, the company has provided best-in-class service for customers across its extensive suite of services, featuring aircraft management, fractional ownership, jet cards and charter. Kompass Kapital acquired controlling ownership of Airshare in 2024, with its strategic investment leading to nationwide expansion of the company's fractional program last fall. Airshare's innovative partnership with the PGA of America will enhance awareness of the brand nationally while promoting its strong passion for golf at both the professional and amateur levels.
"The marketing platform Airshare has created in collaboration with the PGA of America is truly unique, aligning our brand with local PGA Sections across the country along with sponsoring premier events in professional golf, including the highly anticipated 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black," said Andy Tretiak, Chief Marketing Officer of Airshare. "Throughout our history, Airshare has proudly supported golf in the United States and this partnership demonstrates our ongoing commitment to help grow the sport. While we are elated to be the Official Private Aviation Provider for both the PGA Championship and Ryder Cup, establishing relationships with PGA of America Golf Professionals throughout these local regions is just as important to us."
The 107th PGA Championship will take place May 12-18, 2025, at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina. The 2025 Ryder Cup will be held September 23-28 at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, New York.
