The VIP Golf Outing
Title Sponsorship
This year, we're adding something new: a private VIP golf outing at The Phoenician's championship course on Wednesday, January 20th.
Some of the best conversations happen outside the conference room โ when the pressure's off and the guard's down. A round of golf at one of Scottsdale's most prestigious courses creates exactly that environment.
Non-golfers don't miss out โ all VIP ticket holders receive a $150 resort credit to use anywhere on The Phoenician property.
Golf Outing Title Sponsor
A second title sponsorship โ separate from the main event โ available to one brand only.
- Exclusive naming rights โ "The [Your Brand] VIP Golf Outing"
- Your branding on all golf outing materials, signage, and on-course activations
- 4 VIP Golf spots for your team โ inside a capped 150-person event
- Branded gift for every golfer at check-in
- Logo on the event photo backdrop at the golf outing
- Featured in all golf outing communications to VIP attendees
- On-course social media content featuring your brand
This slot is first-come, first-served. Only one brand.
