UBS and THE PLAYERS Proud Partners
As a dedicated supporter of world-class golf, UBS is proud of it’s long-term association with THE PLAYERS. THE PLAYERS is an elite tournament on the PGA TOUR schedule and features one of the strongest fields in golf, one of the sports richest purses and is played on a world-renowned golf course, THE PLAYERS Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass. To succeed at this premier event means to claim a place in golf history – something achieved through continuous improvement and commitment. UBS salutes all the PGA TOUR professionals who continue to make their championship – THE PLAYERS – an unforgettable event year after year.
PGA TOUR & UBS- Giving Back In 2008, UBS, together with the PGA TOUR Wives, hosted Northeast Florida’s Community Hospice PedsCare group for a fun-filled morning. This event took place in the UBS 17th Challenge, which is onsite at THE PLAYERS. The event raised over $50,000 for this worthwhile cause and offered a group of very special kids the chance to meet and get golf tips and advice from many PGA TOUR players. UBS is proud to support THE PLAYERS Championship, which, through its various charitable efforts, raised more than $3 million in 2008.
