We look forward to working with Kurt, George, and the entire Sun Cruiser team as they activate at a number of Section events during the 2026 and 2027 seasons.”

“There’s nothing better than cracking open an ice-cold Sun Cruiser on the course – and this partnership allows more drinkers across Philadelphia PGA to do just that,” said Erica Taylor, senior brand director for Sun Cruiser. “Whether it’s a big tournament, a casual round with friends or a stop at the clubhouse afterward, we’re looking forward to helping golfers let the good times cruise all season long.”
