 Ballantine’s,
the world’s No 2 range of blended Scotch
whisky, is reinforcing its commitment to
international golf with a three-year
extension of its official sponsorship of
the Barclays Scottish Open.
The new deal, which sees Ballantine’s as
the Official Supplier to the Barclays
Scottish Open until 2012, will build on
the success of the brand’s ongoing
association with the tournament which
began in 2007.
Support of international players such as
Northern Ireland’s Graeme McDowell, a
global Ballantine’s Brand Ambassador,
will continue, as will a range of
established promotional activities.
These include on-course visibility, VIP
hospitality, private whisky education
seminars and the Ballantine’s 12 birdie
hole. Players will also be awarded a
Ballantine’s 21 Year Old for the lowest
round of the day and the champion will
be presented with a bottle of rare
Ballantine’s 30 Year Old.
Peter Moore, Ballantine’s Global Brand
Director, said: "We are really looking
forward to our fourth successive year at
The Barclays Scottish Open, where some
of the best players in the world are set
to leave an impression. We are immensely
proud to be strengthening our links with
golf over the next three years at this
prestigious tournament, particularly
because we have also committed to
hosting The Ballantine’s Championship in
Korea until at least 2013."
The Barclays Scottish Open, takes place
from 8th – 11th July 2010 at the iconic
Loch Lomond Golf Club.
