You will choose your executive golfer through the sponsor portal. This portal will open in August 2024.

Note that our A-list executive golfers ( typically CIOs) are in high demand. However, we have recruited over than 120 Executive Golfers from Atlanta’s most sought-after corporations to accommodate our sponsors.

Remember: you can always fill your foursome with the people you invite.

A typical foursome may look like this:

Golfer 1: IT executive golfer
Golfer 2: sponsor golfer
Golfer 3: sponsor golfer
Golfer 4: sponsor golfer or client

If we sponsor a foursome, may we split it up?

What information do you need from our golfers?

As a sponsor, can we have someone from our company sitting at a hole during the tournament?

You may have sponsor reps on both courses throughout the duration of the tournament.  Since this event covers 36 holes, the best way to maximize visibility for your company is to take advantage of this opportunity.

We recommend you bring a popup tent*, a branded tablecloth, promo items, and so forth.†

We encourage you to conduct a “fishbowl” giveaway or raffle to collect contact information.

*Tent stakes prohibited.

†The tournament will not provide these items. Should the list of provide items change, we will notify you via email.

If we fund two sponsorships (for example, a hole and a driving contest), do we get to pick two executives?

You may bring individually wrapped snacks (e.g. protein bars, snacks, sodas*, bottled water*). You may bring branded swag, flyers, and company information.

Alcohol

Château Elan will provide all products for the Beverage Station, Margarita, Martini, and Bloody Mary sponsors. Other items are available for purchase in the clubhouse and from the beverage carts.

Alcohol (Prohibited)

Outside alcohol is strictly prohibited, as this jeopardizes the club’s liquor license. Sponsors bringing in alcohol will be fined and/or banned from the tournament.

Cleanup

The venue will charge a cleanup fee to sponsors leaving trash on the course. To avoid this fee, please remove all items (including trash and boxes) and break down tables, chairs, and canopies.

Please help us keep this incredible property beautiful while supporting this good cause.

Are meals provided for sponsor reps?

No. While we provide meals to all golfers, we do not provide meals to representatives assigned to the courses.

We encourage reps to bring personal lunches and beverages in a small cooler to their assigned hole. See What may sponsors reps bring to our holes/stations? for information about restrictions on food and drink.

Feel free to grab breakfast before heading to your assigned hole, and join us for the evening reception.

May I get a golf cart if I’m not playing but will be stationed at a hole?

No.

Sponsor reps will not be assigned a golf cart. However, sponsor reps may drive one (1) personal vehicle (per sponsor) out to their assigned hole before 9:30 a.m. Once there, your vehicle must remain parked at the hole until the end of the tournament.
