E-Z-GO will again be the ride of choice for “Capital One’s The Match,” the Emmy award-winning series of televised live golf competitions that pit golf icons and professional athletes against each other on world-renowned courses to support charities and communities nationwide. E-Z-GO will be donating eight customized RXV ELiTE golf cars for The Match’s July 6 event, with the vehicles being auctioned to benefit charities chosen by the competitors.
The latest round of The Match will feature World Golf Hall of Famer Phil Mickelson — winner of six major tournaments including the 2021 PGA Championship — and seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady teeing off against 2020 U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau and reigning NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers. The athletes will face off at Moonlight Basin, a Jack Nicklaus-signature course in Big Sky, Montana.
Mickelson, Brady, DeChambeau and Rodgers each will ride in a personalized E-Z-GO RXV ELiTE car during the competition. Fundraising efforts from The Match will support Feeding America, a nationwide network of more than 200 food banks that feed more than 46 million people, and other charitable organizations.
“We are proud to again join forces with The Match and take advantage of this unparalleled opportunity to showcase our ELiTE series of vehicles before a nationwide audience,” said John Collins, vice president, E-Z-GO for Textron Specialized Vehicles. “The quiet, zero-emissions operation of our RXV ELiTE golf car makes it the ideal choice to support a live, televised event that offers viewers unprecedented coverage and access to some of the world’s best golfers and professional athletes.”
The ELiTE vehicles used by the players in The Match use Samsung SDI lithium battery technology, which is environmentally friendly and backed by an eight-year warranty for personal use.
The Match will air on TNT, with live coverage beginning at 5 p.m. EDT.
