BMW Announced as Presenting Sponsor of RBC PGA Scramble. – AutoMart Canada

Richmond Hill, ON. The PGA of Canada and BMW Canada
are proud to announce that BMW has signed on as the presenting sponsor
of the RBC PGA Scramble, Canada’s largest national amateur team golf tournament.

This partnership brings together two organizations dedicated to
excellence and performance while elevating an unparalleled experience
for participants across the country.

Entering its 10th year, the RBC PGA Scramble presented by BMW has
grown into one of the most exciting grassroots golf events in Canada,
welcoming a remarkable 12,000+ golfers across the country each year.
Players compete through a multi-stage journey, battling to win the
trip of a lifetime.

With BMW’s support as the presenting sponsor, the 2025 edition of the
program is set to go up another notch offering elevated prizing,
exclusive on-site activations at numerous events, premium event
enhancements and the opportunity to engage with BMW’s world-class
lineup of vehicles.

“BMW is a globally recognized brand synonymous with innovation and
precision and a true friend and supporter of the game of golf across
the globe,” said Kevin Thistle, CEO of the PGA of Canada. “Adding BMW
Canada as a partner to an already fantastic program is a dream come
true and we can’t wait to work with their team and their retailer
network to build something memorable for participants.”

A key component of the partnership includes the creation of the BMW
Wildcard where one lucky group of individuals will win a direct entry
into the National Championship to compete as Team Wildcard at Cabot
Cape Breton.  This team will also enjoy multiple enhancements provided
by BMW to elevate their experience even further.

“At BMW, we are passionate about driving excellence in everything we
do and that extends to our support of the game of golf,” said Jonathan
Thomson, director of brand management at BMW Canada.  “We are excited
to partner with the RBC PGA Scramble, become the Official Vehicle of
the PGA of Canada and help deliver an unmatched tournament experience
for golfers of all skill levels.”

The RBC PGA Scramble presented by BMW consists of 186 local
qualifying events held at golf courses across Canada, leading up to
the regional finals and the highly anticipated National Final at Cabot
Cape Breton, the number-one ranked golf course in Canada. 

With positions available for both net and gross winners and strict
team handicap policies, anybody can play and anybody can win.
