RICHMOND, BC (PGA of BC) - The PGA of BC is excited to announce our newest partner, Honma Golf, who will be serving as Presenting Sponsor of the 2024 Seniors’ & Women’s Championships taking place June 24 & 25 at Nicklaus North Golf Course in Whistler.
Founded in Sakata, Japan, Honma gathered the top technical minds, experienced craftsmen and accomplished artisans to design beautiful golf clubs. Now in North America, Honma is committed to elevating the game of golf with the highest levels of artistry, quality and innovation.
Lorena Padilla, Chief Marketing Officer for Honma Golf North America, said the brand is thrilled to partner with the Association and support the Seniors’ & Women’s Championships.
“For more than half a century, Honma has grown, evolved, and adapted along with the golf industry to become one of the most revered brands. Joining up with the PGA of BC is a natural extension of our success. We look forward to working alongside the PGA of BC to promote enjoyment, participation, and improvement in the game of golf during the Seniors’ & Women’s Championship,” said Padilla.
“Like the PGA of BC, Honma has a storied history with roots in the early 20th century. Our Japanese foundation is an ocean away from British Columbia, but there’s so much our two organizations share: the landscape of mountains and busy shoreline, some of the world’s most beautiful and challenging golf courses, and dedication to furthering the beauty and significance of the game with a fond look back at history and a clear vision for tomorrow.”
Padilla said that Honma hopes to share their core values of Integrity, Longevity and Passion with the PGA of BC.
“We stand behind our convictions. As PGA of BC partners, we will extend our confidence in the Honma brand to golfers and partners who are ready to experience everything we have to offer. We carefully cultivate our relationships. We view partnership as an opportunity for Honma to demonstrate our brand’s focus on design, execution, and salesmanship in order for golfers to choose us for their brand—for life,” said Padilla. “Our love for the work we do fuels everything we imagine, innovate, and create. We share with the PGA of BC a reverence for the history, dignity, beauty, and joy of the game of golf.”
Mark Strong, PGA of BC Executive Director, extended his gratitude to Honma for their support of our Championships and Association members.
“The PGA of BC is very happy to be able to re-establish a partnership with a world-renowned company such as Honma Golf. We feel that their strategic objectives are a great fit for our Seniors’ and Women's Championships, and sincerely appreciate their sponsorship. It is only through support like this that we are able to continually enhance our events and initiatives. Thank you Honma.”
