Club Car announced a multiyear marketing agreement with Gary Player and Black Knight International to promote the companies’ respective brands throughout the world.

Under terms of the agreement, Black Knight International, which includes Gary Player Design, Player Real Estate, Black Knight Enterprises and The Player Foundation, will work with Club Car to introduce the company’s vehicles, equipment and services at courses and real estate developments where Black Knight is affiliated. Club Car also will develop strategies to promote the company and its golf car and utility vehicle lines through an association with the Gary Player brand.

“As Club Car strengthens its presence in international markets, our association with Black Knight International is a great fit,” said Robert McElreath, Club Car’s vice president of Global Marketing. “Mr. Player is admired as much for his integrity and dedication to excellence as he is for his golfing accomplishments. We like to think we have those values in common.”
