Here’s Why You Should Uber To The Players!

Uber is back as the preferred ridesharing partner of THE PLAYERS Incentive program with Topgolf!

There are many ways to get to THE PLAYERS Championship from March 1015, but ridesharing continues to be the most seamless mode of transportation. Tournament officials announced that Uber will once again return as the preferred ridesharing partner of THE PLAYERS and will help fans travel safely and more efficiently to and from the championship.

New in 2020, THE PLAYERS has partnered with Topgolf to offer an enhanced benefit for those who take rideshare to THE PLAYERS. Every fan who rideshares to THE PLAYERS will be greeted by a Topgolf ambassador upon arrival to the Couples Entry and handed a voucher that is good for $20 off game play at Topgolf Jacksonville (voucher must be used by March 23, 2020).

“After introducing a dedicated ridesharing drop off and pick up area just steps from the Couples Entry off of ATP Boulevard in 2019, we saw a 63% increase in rides from 2018 to 2019,” said Jared Rice, Executive Director of THE PLAYERS. “And with great partners and new incentive programs each year, we expect this number to continue to increase.” Follow these steps to learn how to rideshare to THE PLAYERS:

• Getting to THE PLAYERS Championship: o Download or update the Uber app on your phone o Enter Destination: THE PLAYERS Championship o Enter the tournament through the Couples Entry

• Leaving THE PLAYERS Championship: o Exit tournament grounds through the Couples Entry o Follow the tournament signage to the designated Uber pick up area outside the Couples Entry o Get in available Uber and head to your preferred destination
