Club Car extends supplier agreement with the DP World Tour
The DP World Tour today announces an extension to its long-standing agreement with Club Car, which will see the world’s largest manufacturer of small-wheel, zero-emission electric vehicles retain its Official Supplier status. 

The new agreement will extend the current relationship, which began in 1999, through to the end of the 2023 season. Club Car’s vehicles are crucial to the staging of DP World Tour events around the globe, assisting numerous aspects of tournament logistics from rules to television production. As well as supplying golf cars to the DP World Tour, Club Car has also been an Official Supplier at every Ryder Cup staged on European soil since 1997 – a role it will continue at the 2023 Ryder Cup at Marco Simone Golf and Country Club in Rome, Italy. 

Speaking about the announcement, Kevin Hart, Sales Director Golf EMEA at Club Car, said: "Club Car is very proud of its long, successful relationship with the DP World Tour and is delighted to continue as an Official Supplier this season, providing 113 vehicles to support the 39 events.” Max Hamilton, Consumer and Commercial Director of the DP World Tour, added: "Club Car have been a trusted partner for 23 years. Their products, support service and reliability are excellent and their unrivalled distribution network is vital for the smooth operation of our tournaments around the globe. We look forward to working together throughout the 2023 season.”
