Sir Nick Faldo has become a brand ambassador for Upper Deck Golf, which offers the opportunity for golfers and non-golfers to hit golf balls inside iconic sports stadiums in the US.

“I couldn’t be more excited about what Upper Deck Golf represents and how they are bringing new golfers and families of all ages into the game that I love in a fun and unique way,” said Sir Nick.

Upper Deck Golf offers the opportunity to hit shots from the upper stands inside professional sports stadiums like Wrigley Field in Chicago, Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, among many others.

Participants enjoy a special experience while hitting tee shots from the stands throughout the stadium, down to custom greens on the field below. The fun starts and concludes at the clubhouse festival inside the stadium with music, cold beers, food, and multiple golfing challenges.

Upper Deck Golf was recently acquired by Marc Bender and Adam Wachter, Managing Partners of Hidden Links, Golfpac Travel, Tee Times USA, and Go Play Golf gift card. Faldo serves as a global ambassador of those golf brands and is the face of Hidden Links and Golfpac Travel on commercials aired nationally on TV.

“I joined these companies because they are industry leaders with a great reputation globally,” Sir Nick said. “I have witnessed the consistent level of customer service, knowledge, and value they provide. Having traveled all over the world with Marc and Adam the past couple of years, their passion for golf is inspiring and I am thrilled to be part of their family of expanding golf brands.”

In 2024, Upper Deck expects to have up to 25 events throughout the US in in Major League Baseball, NFL and college stadiums. Events will be held starting next month at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis (indoors), followed by an event in March in Nashville at Nissan Stadium; then with two events in April, first in the Bay Area at Levi’s Stadium; then in Columbus, OH, at The Ohio State University, with events planned in Baltimore at Camden Yards; Wrigley Field in Chicago, Busch Stadium in St. Louis; Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, and many others soon to be announced.
