American Airlines Named Official Airline of PGA of America

The PGA of America and American Airlines have announced a new multiyear partnership establishing American as the Official Airline of the PGA of America as well as the PGA Championship and Ryder Cup USA through 2027.

The partnership will includes perks for AAdvantage members during the upcoming 2025 Ryder Cup, which will be held September 23-28 at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, New York, as well as the 108th PGA Championship from May 11—17, 2026, at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania.

American will work closely with the PGA of America to provide immersive experiences and exclusive benefits to AAdvantage credit cardmembers, including designated hospitality areas and the opportunity to redeem miles for perks.

“Together with the PGA, we’re looking forward to offering our customers an opportunity to experience golf like never before, whether they’re traveling to the most-talked-about tournaments or getting within feet of their favorite golfers on the course,” said Caroline Clayton, American’s Chief Marketing Officer. “Our AAdvantage members love these priceless moments, and we’re honored to make them happen.”

American will serve as a presenting sponsor of The Secretary’s Cup, a 9-hole match amongst 12 PGA HOPE teams that is contested annually during PGA Championship week. PGA HOPE is the flagship military program of the PGA of America REACH Foundation.
