Award-winning rum drinks to be available to spectators at general pouring bars and hospitality areas
FRISCO, Texas (January 21, 2025) ー The PGA of America announced today a new multi-year partnership with Goslings, making it the “Official Rum” of the 2025 Ryder Cup and the PGA Championship through 2026.
Goslings—Bermuda’s oldest company and largest exporter, producer of an award-winning portfolio of rums, ginger beers and tonic waters, and originator of the Dark ‘n Stormy® cocktail—will be served at general pouring bars and hospitality areas throughout Quail Hollow Club and Aronimink Golf Club, hosts of the 2025 and 2026 PGA Championships, respectively, as well as at Bethpage Black, site of the 2025 Ryder Cup.
“The addition of Goslings to the on-site experience at the PGA Championship and Ryder Cup is a huge benefit for spectators,” said Luke Reissman, PGA of America Senior Director, Global Partnerships. “Goslings’ iconic, handcrafted rum drinks have been enjoyed across the world for over 200 years, and we are proud to bring them to two of the biggest events in golf.”
As part of the partnership, Goslings will feature an on-site activation space at the PGA Championship and Ryder Cup, offering all spectators the opportunity to enjoy specialty rum cocktails, including the iconic Dark ‘n Stormy®, made with Goslings Black Seal Rum and Stormy Ginger Beer.
“We’re thrilled to bring the Goslings experience to the PGA Championship and Ryder Cup, two of the most iconic events in golf,” said Malcolm L. Gosling, eighth-generation rum maker and President of Gosling’s Export (Bermuda) Limited. “For over 200 years, our handcrafted rums have been a part of unforgettable moments worldwide, and we’re honored to now be a part of creating lasting memories for golf fans on this global stage.”
Founded in 1806 by James Gosling, and now in its eighth generation of family ownership, Goslings continues to embody the spirit and rich history of Bermuda centuries later. Working with creative agency Quaker City Mercantile, Goslings debuted the “Official Rum of Leisure” campaign in 2024, inviting customers to relax, kick their feet up and experience life’s moments through the lens of leisure. Other recent brand innovations include the release of Volume II of Goslings Spirited Seas Ocean Aged Rum and the introduction of Goslings Finest Tonic Water, a premium mixer with hints of cardamom and ginger.
