The USA Golf Federation has secured a new partnership with BMW North America for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.

“As a global supporter of professional and amateur golf for more than 30 years, it was a natural fit for BMW to support USA GOLF in the sport’s return to the Olympics in 2016,” said Trudy Hardy, Vice President of Marketing, BMW of North America.

“With this partnership and golf’s inclusion in the Olympics for the first time in 112 years, BMW realizes a powerful opportunity to aid in raising the profile of the sport with new audiences across the globe.”

Andy Levinson, Executive Director, USA GOLF Federation said: “We’re thrilled to have such a tenured friend of both golf and the Olympics behind us.

“It is sponsor support like this that will allow us to achieve our mission of not only competitive success in Rio, but also contributing to the development of future American golfers.”
