AVIS, one of the world’s best known car rental brands, has today announced a multi-year extension of its partnership as the Official Rental Car Company of the PGA TOUR, PGA TOUR Champions and Korn Ferry Tour.

“For nearly 15 years, AVIS has safely and reliably gotten PGA TOUR athletes, staff and fans to their next destination,” said Brian Oliver, PGA TOUR Executive Vice President, Corporate Partnerships. “The flexibility and availability offered by AVIS is critical when conducting multiple tournaments around the world on a given week, and we are delighted to continue our longstanding relationship with them into the future.”

“AVIS is proud to extend its long-standing relationship with the PGA TOUR. Our team of 25,000 driven employees are honored to be trusted with the travel plans of PGA TOUR athletes, staff and millions of fans,” said Jessica Kornacki, Vice President, Marketing, AVIS. "As the busy summer travel season kicks off, there's no better time to hit the road in your AVIS rental car and enjoy a thrilling PGA TOUR event."

The extended partnership will see the rental car provider engage with PGA TOUR fans across the FedExCup season through its AVIS ‘Plan on Us’ campaign, highlighting the company’s legacy of being trusted with customer’s travel plans, over and over again. For 75 years, AVIS’s only plan is to make sure you keep yours.
