Jan 17, 2024 — Hall of Famer Sir Nick Faldo has added Upper Deck Golf to his exclusive line-up of carefully chosen partnerships.
“I couldn’t be more excited about what Upper Deck Golf represents and how they are bringing new golfers and families of all ages into the game that I love in a fun and unique way,” Faldo said.
Upper Deck Golf offers the opportunity to play a round of golf inside iconic stadiums including hitting shots from the upper deck inside professional sports stadiums like Wrigley Field in Chicago, Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, Dodger’s Stadium in Los Angeles, among many others. Participants enjoy a special experience while hitting tee shots from the stands throughout the stadium, down to custom greens on the field below. The fun starts and concludes at the clubhouse festival inside the stadium with great music, cold beers, food, and multiple golfing challenges.
Upper Deck Golf was recently acquired by Marc Bender and Adam Wachter, Managing Partners of Hidden Links, Golfpac Travel, Tee Times USA, and Go Play Golf gift card. Faldo serves as a global ambassador of those golf brands and is the face of Hidden Links and Golfpac Travel on commercials aired nationally on TV.
"I joined these companies because they are industry leaders with a great reputation globally. I have witnessed the consistent level of customer service, knowledge, and value they provide. Having traveled all over the world with Marc and Adam the past couple of years, their passion for golf is inspiring and I am thrilled to be part of their family of expanding golf brands,” Faldo said.
Managing Partners Marc Bender and Adam Wachter released a joint statement, "It has been an amazing journey building our portfolio of companies over the past 11 years. Sir Nick is great fun to work with and the ultimate professional. We are excited to have him join our newest venture with Upper Deck Golf. Our team that runs Upper Deck Golf day-to-day is awesome, and 2024 promises to be a transformative year whereby we will make several meaningful announcements in the coming weeks. We will continue to do our best to introduce more people to this wonderful game, all the while supporting many meaningful causes through our various charitable efforts.”
