Luxury automaker to become the Official Vehicle of the PGA of Canada & the RBC PGA Scramble
(ACTON, ON) - The PGA of Canada is proud to announce that BMW Canada 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.
