FootJoy to Sponsor The Open Camping Village at St Andrews

FootJoy has just announced an exciting new partnership with The R&A that will see the leading shoe and glove brand sponsoring The Open Camping Village at this year's historic championship in St Andrews.

Headlining the week, FJ will welcome attendees to its Camp-Out Party on Tuesday evening, where campsite attendees will be joined by live DJs, exclusive Q&As and a number of surprises as they build excitement to the week’s first competitive tee shots.

In addition to the Camp-Out Party, FJ will use the space to host a number of exclusive activations and events for campsite attendees to enjoy throughout the historic week in golf, including free shoe fitting for all campsite attendees (Monday - Friday 08:00am10:00am / 16:00pm - 21:00pm) and live bands and entertainment throughout the week.

Situated just behind the Old Course Hotel, the Camping Village is located just yards away from the Road Hole, inviting campsite attendees to enjoy the tournament at the very heart of The Home of Golf.

Paul O'Hagan, FJ Marketing Manager - EMEA, said:

“Providing a fun, unique experiences for dedicated fans in the Village places FootJoy at the heart of an iconic moment in the game’s history and we look forward to joining fans, attendees and partners in celebrating heritage, innovation and performance at The 150th Open.”
