The Cairns Cup, disability golf’s premier matchplay event between the USA and Europe, has announced Sun Mountain as the Official Bag Sponsor for the 2024 contest, which is being held at the Cherry Creek Golf Club in Michigan from July 27-August 4.
Sun Mountain will be supplying the 16 players of both teams – drawn from eight American States and nine European nations – with customised cart bags and ClubGlider travel covers from its latest award-winning range and supporting the event across social media channels.
All 32 cart bags appearing in the competition will be designated in the traditional red and blue colours of the respective teams and embroidered with the official event crest, while the ultra-manoeuvrable travel covers will also feature the distinctive event logo.
Sun Mountain joins other global brands including adidas, 5iron Golf and Mizuno as sponsors of the second edition of the bi-annual event that began in 2022, when amateur golfers with differing disabilities representing the USA defeated their European counterparts over three days of fierce competition at The Shire London.
The Cairns Cup is a week-long festival of golf that includes a pre-tournament charity golf day, followed by a gala dinner fundraiser and an open day where the players hold workshops for disability groups and individuals from in and around the host club. The opening ceremony is followed by three days of matchplay competition played using the fourball, foursomes and singles formats.
Kevin Booth, Vice President of The Cairns Cup, said: “To have a brand of the stature of Sun Mountain support our event shows how far we have come in raising disability golf and disability sport as a whole. The brand’s commitment to the event is both exciting and humbling. We are looking forward to working with their team in taking The Cairns Cup to a wider audience!”
