A new marketing partnership between GolfNow and Uber will start Friday, Sept. 25, with a weekend promotion conducted in 10 U.S. cities and Orange County, Calif., which will offer Uber riders discounts on golf, surprise gifts and an opportunity to win free golf for a year.
GolfNow will give all riders in the 11 designated markets a discount on their next round of golf and automatically register them for a chance to win free golf for a year when using the Uber app from Friday, Sept. 25- Sunday, Sept. 27, between 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. local time. The cities include Charlotte, N.C.; Jacksonville, Fla.; Los Angeles, Calif.; Myrtle Beach, S.C.; Orlando, Fla.; Phoenix, Ariz.; Pittsburgh, Pa.; San Diego, Calif.; Tampa, Fla.; Tucson, Ariz.; and the cities incorporating Orange County, Calif.
One grand-prize of free golf for a year per market will be awarded. Additionally, 11 riders in each city (excluding Los Angeles and Orange County) that use the GolfNow option in the Uber app on Saturday, Sept. 26, will win a prize pack valued at more than $200. One lucky rider among the 11 also will receive a Srixon driver valued at $349.99.
HOW IT WORKS:
Use Uber Sept. 25-27 in any of the designated markets and receive a discount on your next round of golf.
All riders using Uber Sept. 25-27 are automatically entered to win free golf for a year!
On Saturday, Sept. 26, between 9 a.m.-5 p.m., use the GolfNow option in the Uber app and be eligible to win GolfNow prize packages. (all cities included, except Los Angeles and Orange County)
This promotion is the first stage of the GolfNow/Uber partnership, which is expected to launch new elements in 2016.
