Avis Car Rental has officially announced a new two-year partnership with the PGA of Australia and Golf Australia, establishing the brand as the official car rental partner for the nation’s premier golf tournaments and initiatives.

This agreement aligns the global mobility leader with two of the most significant bodies in Australian sport, aiming to enhance the travel and event experience for players, members, and fans alike. By integrating its services into the golfing ecosystem, Avis seeks to support the ongoing growth and accessibility of the sport across the region.

The partnership will manifest through various activations at leading championships on the Challenger PGA Tour of Australasia, including the BMW Australian PGA Championship and the men’s Capital.com Australian Open.

Commenting on the partnership, managing director for Avis in the Pacific region, Thomas Mooney, highlighted the strategic logic behind the collaboration.

“We see strong alignment between the golfing community and Avis’ customer base, reinforcing this as a natural and strategically important partnership,”

“Through our sponsorship of the region’s premier tournaments and championships, we are pleased to support the PGA of Australia and Golf Australia while engaging meaningfully with PGA Members, golfers, and fans across Australia and New Zealand,” Mooney said. 

The leadership teams at both golf organisations have welcomed the partnership as a catalyst for future development.

PGA of Australia CEO, Gavin Kirkman, noted the value the brand brings to their members.

“Avis is a globally recognised brand with a strong reputation for customer experience and innovation, and we are delighted to welcome them as the Official Car Rental Partner of the PGA of Australia.”

“This partnership will provide valuable benefits for PGA Members while also enhancing the experience around our major events and initiatives,” Kirkman stated.

Golf Australia CEO, James Sutherland, underscored the importance of such partnerships in maintaining the sport’s current growth trajectory.

“Golf is experiencing strong positive momentum across Australia, with more people than ever engaging with the game in a variety of ways.”

“Partners such as Avis play an important role in helping us continue to grow golf, and support the delivery of world-class events,” Sutherland added.

Beyond tournament presence, the agreement provides tangible benefits for the golf community, with PGA members and fans gaining access to exclusive rental offers. These benefits are specifically designed to improve the golf tourism experience, facilitating smoother travel for those journeying to compete, watch, or participate in events across Australia and New Zealand.
