Defending Masters Champ Johnson Agrees To Deal With BMW
April 8th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under
Mercedes Benz may be the new provider of courtesy cars at Augusta National, site of this week’s Masters, but ‘07 champion Zach Johnson will be pulling up Magnolia Drive in the new BMW X6.
A source said Johnson agreed to terms on a two-year deal with the German car manufacturer but will not sport the BMW logo in competition, nor will he appear in TV or print ads. BMW, title sponsor of one of the four FedEx Cup playoff events, is expected to leverage the relationship through corporate appearances.
Financial terms were not available. Johnson bought a BMW M3 after joining the PGA Tour in ‘04 and an M5 model after winning the ‘07 Masters.
