From Tee to Green, American Express Returns to U.S. Open Championships to Enhance Fans’ Experience

As a longtime partner of the United States Golf Association (USGA), American Express will back Card Members for the 13th year at the U.S. Open Championship. The U.S. Open will take place June 13-16, 2019 at Pebble Beach Golf Links in Pebble Beach, California. It’s all about the fans, as American Express provides unforgettable experiences, unique access and exceptional service for Card Members across their passion areas.

To provide an exceptional end-to-end experience at the U.S. Open, American Express is offering many exciting benefits for customers, including the beloved American Express Card Member Lounge and special in-store benefits at participating small businesses in the surrounding community.

“As a long-standing USGA and U.S. Open partner, we understand the fans and customers’ needs,” says Lindsay Ulrey, Vice President, Sports & Venue Partnerships, American Express. “We look to provide services that alleviate their pain points and enhance the experience, whether you are an avid golf fan, a local merchant or enjoying your first U.S. Open experience.”

Throughout the U.S. Open grounds, American Express is offering an array of benefits, including:

• American Express Card Member Lounge: Located between the 11th and 12th holes and open exclusively to American Express Card Members and up to three of their guests, the lounge will be the ultimate respite, offering comfortable seating, food and beverages for purchase, a refresh station, Father’s Day cards, and even one of golf’s favorite games - Golden Tee.
  
• Fan Services: American Express will host three Fan Service locations across the grounds located at Fan Central, the 10th fairway and the 14th fairway. At each location, all fans will have access to phone charging lockers and course and Championship information.
