The TOUR Championship is less than a month away, and Atlanta’s East Lake Golf will once again be home to one of the biggest PGA tournament stops on the golf calendar.
Along with the tournament, which takes place from August 26-30, there are also opportunities for the TOUR Championship to effect change off the golf course. TOUR Championship and Chipotle, the Denver, Colorado-based fast-casual restaurant chain, have partnered to support military members and their families, and college students.
This is the first year Chipotle will be one of the event’s sponsors, according to TOUR Championship Vice President & Executive Director Alex Urban, who added that the TOUR Championship is always looking to find ways to support the military community.
“It means a lot. The TOUR Championship means a lot to a lot of people,” said Urban. “As a tournament, we care a lot about the military community. We owe so much to our men and women in uniform.”
Chipotle will provide complimentary and discounted ticket opportunities to veterans and college students who want to witness the TOUR Championship up close.
Discounted admission will be provided to veterans and one dependent on Wednesday, August 26, ($15 plus taxes and fees), and up to two (2) discounted tickets for one of the competition days from Thursday, August 27 to Sunday, August 30 ($45 plus taxes and fees).
With every military ticket purchase for Thursday-Sunday, Chipotle will provide a “Buy-One-Get-One” code that can be used at checkout on the Chipotle app or Chipotle.com, while supplies last. There are 16 Chipotle locations within the city limits of Atlanta, some of which are minutes from East Lake Golf Club.
As a part of the University Student Ticket program, college students can get 25% a ticket with a presentation of a legitimate .edu email address. There is a limit of four tickets per transaction. The first 500 unique purchasers of the University Student Ticket Offer presented by Chipotle will receive a Chipotle-branded divot repair tool post-event.
“This is a good way to get students out here,” said Urban.
Stephanie Perdue, Senior Vice President of Brand Marketing at Chipotle, said in a release that the TOUR Championship “brings people together.”
“Our mission to Cultivate a Better World is rooted in creating meaningful opportunities for the people we serve. By recognizing military members and welcoming more college students to the championship, we’re helping make the tournament more accessible and inspiring the next generation of golf fans.”
