About American Express

In 2006, American Express and the United States Golf Association (USGA) announced a landmark agreement that established American Express as the USGA's first corporate partner in its 112 year-old history. The pact strengthened American Express’ association with the game of golf by pairing its premium level of customer service and unique Cardmember benefits with the USGA’s leadership and its role as stewards of the game of golf -- its rules, its history, technology and testing in the United States. Since that time and continuing today, American Express has proudly supported the game of golf as a way to help drive business to the industry, increase traffic to local merchants and provide unforgettable golf experiences for Cardmembers who are very passionate about the game. 

American Express knows its Cardmembers are looking for ways to participate in the game throughout the year and, therefore, offers a variety of year-round practical and premium benefits. These Cardmember experiences, as well as American Express’ affiliation with some of golf’s greatest players, are designed to provide golf enthusiasts with a deeper and more enriching connection to the game. Only American Express Cardmembers have exclusive opportunities to secure unique ticket packages to select championships, including the U.S. Open, enjoy a private lesson from a PGA Professional and bring along a friend for free, redeem Membership RewardsÒ points to get great gear, and much more.

Additionally, American Express is a proud supporter of the USGA Grants and Fellowships program, helping organizations develop introductory golf programs and alternative golf facilities for youth from disadvantaged backgrounds, minority youth, girls and individuals with disabilities. Together, the USGA and American Express work to encourage and create opportunities for new, casual and avid players to participate in the game they love.
