Posted July 18, 2018

ORLANDO, FLA. (July 18, 2018) – Orange Lake Resorts, home to the Holiday Inn Club Vacations® brand, is proud to announce the sponsorship of Professional Golf Association (PGA) Tour player Robert Gamez. The three-time PGA champion, with career professional winnings topping $8.7 million, will join the PGA Champions Tour for his first tournament at this year’s British Senior Open in Scotland, July 26-29. Gamez’s most memorable victory came at the 1990 Arnold Palmer Invitational, where he holed out his second shot on the final hole for an eagle and a one-shot victory. Holiday Inn Club Vacations sponsors two other professional tour players, Ryann O’Toole (LPGA) and Richy Werenski (PGA).

“We are excited to add Robert to our team and brand,” said John Sutherland, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Orange Lake Resorts. “Many of our Holiday Inn Club members, owners and guests truly love the game of golf. Robert’s passion for the game and winning attitude will certainly elevate our company’s image and brand in the golfing community.”

“Having a great travel brand like Holiday Inn Club Vacations as a sponsor is so important, not just to me, but to the game,” commented Robert Gamez. “The brand loves the game, loves to introduce new players to the sport and loves to provide a great experience for their owners and guests. It’s a win-win for all of us.”
