FedEx branding will be prominent on the course across the three-day event, which will be staged between October 10 and 14 at Le Golf National in Guyancourt, France.
The deal was organized through the DP World Tour’s strategic partnership with the Professional Golf Association (PGA) of America body and its PGA Tour series, to which Club Car is also a partner.
Club Car last renewed with the PGA of America in January 2023, providing carts to the tour as well as the iconic Ryder Cup event.
Alongside its role as a supplier to the major golf tours, Club Car is also a title sponsor of the annual Club Car Championship, played on the PGA Tour’s developmental branch, the Korn Ferry Tour.
The event, hosted in 2024 on April 7 in Savannah, Georgia, was first sponsored by Club Car in 2021, having previously been known as the Savannah Golf Championship.
