Prilosec OTC Sponsoring U.S. Putting Tour

Prilosec OTC has come on board as a sponsor of the U.S. Putting Tour as part of its Official Sponsor program to sponsor real people in pursuit of their real passions.

"I'm very grateful to Prilosec OTC for their support of the U.S. Putting Tour," said USPT president, Jim Hartley. "And what a natural fit - a heartburn medication sponsoring a putting tour; clearly golfers know a lot about heartburn."

Hartley added that the new amateur putting tour is a unique golf sponsorship program for companies and brands because it has a yearlong nationwide grassroots component and an annual national championship.

The U.S. Putting Tour is offering this golf sponsorship opportunity to companies and brands in a number of industries, including golf equipment, golf balls, golf apparel, automotive, banking, insurance, investment and retirement services, energy products, and sun care, among others.

Sponsorship programs will run for the full 2011 calendar year, which will encompass the USPT National Championship in late September and beyond. The USPT will work with sponsors on developing marketing and promotional campaigns, an on-site presence at local qualifying events and the national championship, and corporate hospitality programs.
