Ryder Cup Winner Renews Firstgroup Alliance
FirstGroup has extended its sponsorship agreement with Ryder Cup star Paul Lawrie, who will continue to serve as an ambassador for the multinational transport company for another year.
The Scottish golfer recently helped Europe to victory over the USA in the 2012 Ryder Cup at Medinah.
The company has sponsored 43-year-old Lawrie and his Junior Golf Foundation since 2007.
Lawrie said: ‘I’m very grateful to FirstGroup for their continued support for me, both personally and through my foundation. I have a long-standing relationship with them, as one of my early sponsors, and I am delighted to continue our association throughout 2013.’
FirstGroup marketing manager Avril Gill added: ‘Paul’s contribution at the Ryder Cup was remarkable. As a company, we are very proud of his overall achievements. We have a long and successful relationship with him and, indeed, we named one of our coaches in Paul’s honour earlier this year, following his victory at the Qatar Masters.’
