For the first time ever, the Mastercard APGA Tour Championship will be streamed live on GKLive.TV, brought to you by Mastercard! Tune in to watch your favorite players compete for a record-breaking $155,000 purse at the final event of the Cisco Cup Series. The live action from the final three holes will be available on August 12-13, starting at 1 PM EDT. Mastercard, a proud sponsor of the APGA Tour and the Mastercard APGA Tour Championship for four years, continues its support by also presenting the Mastercard APGA Player Achievement Award for the third consecutive year. This award offers development opportunities for up-and-coming golfers and includes an additional cash prize.
Both rounds of the championship, starting at 8:15 a.m. ET each day, will be streamed on GKLive.TV, with coverage focusing on the final three holes. Don’t miss the excitement on August 12 and 13 at 1 p.m. ET. “Mastercard has been an Official Partner of the APGA Tour since 2020, committed to fostering a shared vision of belonging within the sport of golf,” said Rustom Dastoor, Executive Vice President of Marketing and Communications, Americas, Mastercard. “Our partnership aims to broaden player access and opportunities, enhance fan experiences, and more. This year, we continue to celebrate our commitment to the next generation of fans and players by offering a livestream of the championship, a record purse, and development opportunities.”
Earlier this year, Cisco and the APGA Tour expanded their partnership, with Cisco becoming the Presenting Partner of the APGA Tour. Cisco’s support includes a significant increase in financial investment, more than tripling the total purse for the season-long performance race. Additionally, Cisco is creating opportunities for APGA Tour players to network with top business executives, industry partners, and others, providing insights, advice, and relationship-building opportunities to help further their careers.
“Cisco’s ongoing support of the APGA Tour reflects our continued commitment to expanding access to the sport of golf, aligning with our corporate purpose of powering an inclusive future for all,” said Rob McQueen, Vice President of Global Sponsorships at Cisco. “As we conclude the inaugural Cisco Cup Series, we are excited to continue supporting the exceptional APGA Tour players as they advance their careers both on and off the course.”
Before the Mastercard APGA Tour Championship, APGA Tour players will also engage with local youth, inspiring them to explore golf and its career pathways through a golf clinic sponsored by Farmers Insurance. The APGA Foundation Youth Clinic, a longstanding part of APGA Tour events, focuses on increasing diversity in golf by impacting young people from underserved communities. The clinic, held on August 10 from noon to 4:30 p.m. at First Tee – Metro Atlanta, will feature sessions on mental health and wellness, career development, and golf instruction from APGA Tour players.
