FanDuel and Upper Deck Golf partner for unique contest

May 30, 2024 — Upper Deck Golf and sponsor FanDuel will be hosting a unique hole in one contest when event participants hit the upper deck of Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia May 30-June 2, 2024.

Fans will enjoy a great weekend of golf in an experience unlike any other. Each hole in one will win a unique prize sponsored by FanDuel and the sold-out event will allow participants to see Lincoln Financial Field—home of the Philadelphia Eagles and the Temple Owls football team of Temple University—in a unique way and play golf like they have NEVER before. And the best part is participation in Upper Deck Golf events helps support Upper Deck Golf’s official charity: Stand Up To Cancer.

"We are so excited to bring Upper Deck Golf back to Philadelphia for another sold out event. The Philadelphia sports community's excitement and passion for their beloved teams and for the game of golf is like none other," said Carly Graham, Co-Founder of Upper Deck Golf.

Upper Deck Golf was acquired in 2023 by Marc Bender and Adam Wachter, Managing Partners of Hidden Links, Golfpac Travel, Tee Times USA, and Go Play Golf gift card.

Upper Deck Golf will host events in about 25 stadiums nationwide.  They offer the opportunity to play a round of golf inside iconic stadiums including hitting shots from the upper deck inside professional sports stadiums like Ohio Stadium, Wrigley Field in Chicago, 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.

With Hall of Famer Sir Nick Faldo as an ambassador of Upper Deck Golf and Cleveland Golf as an exclusive equipment provider, participants are sure to have a top-notch experience. Cleveland Golf’s Wedges are some of the most highly regarded in golf, and they will ensure golfers are dialed in on shorter shots throughout each stadium. Golfers will have a chance to demo the latest Cleveland Golf Putters at Upper Deck Golf’s putting challenge, while Cleveland Golf’s newest line of Drivers will be featured at the long drive contest. The 54 hitting bays set up throughout each stadium will offer cutting edge equipment for men, women, and left-handed golfers.
