SPONSORSHIP & PROMOTION
For the first time in more than 20 years, the PGA TOUR is launching a new ad campaign designed to capture and celebrate “the energy and spirit of today’s TOUR.” Titled “Live Under Par,” the campaign plays on golf’s unique scoring language to showcase the pursuit of excellence by players, both competitively and in how they embrace the values of the game like sportsmanship and respect, as well as the PGA TOUR’s ingrained mission of giving back. Developed in collaboration with new roster agency Troika of Los Angeles, “Live Under Par” becomes the TOUR’s first new theme and tagline since “These Guys Are Good,” the longest-running advertising campaign among major sports, debuted in 1997. With ESPN+ poised for launch tomorrow, the company announced that American Express will serve as the official launch sponsor of the platform. ESPN+ backed by American Express will offer both cardholders and non-cardholders an extended 30-day free trial subscription during the first week of launch (April 12-18). As part of its sponsorship, American Express will also be the presenting sponsor of the entire 30 for 30 library.
