The world-renowned sports performance and lifestyle brand has helped make the 16^th hole at RACV Royal Pines Resort a feature of the Aus PGA by building a relaxed and sociable atmosphere.

“It will be great to see the Gold Coast beaches bought to life on the golf course again this year with an expanded fan zone that will be free to enter in 2019,” Michael McDonald, Commercial Director of the PGA of Australia, said.

“Oakley has been an integral part of expanding this activation zone and we are excited to have them back on board this year.

“Fans will be able to swap their golf shoes for thongs and wear their favourite beach wear to watch the golf in comfort with a bar, food, music and the golf live on a big screen along with all the action of the 16th hole right in front of them.”

The Oakley Gold Coast Beach Club will be open on each day of the tournament from Thursday 19 December to Sunday 22 December.

The first 100 people into the Beach Club each day will receive a stubby holder to keep their drinks cool while they sit back, relax and enjoy the Australian PGA Championship.
