NBRPA and Deuce Team Up to Provide Unique Competitive Golf Experience for Nbrpa Members

LEGENDS TO COMPETE ALONGSIDE AMATEUR GOLFERS IN 10 MARKETS ACROSS U.S. AND IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC TO RAISE MONEY FOR LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS

The National Basketball Retired Players Association and Deuce recently announced a collaboration to bring a unique golf experience to NBRPA members and amateur golfers – as part of the Deuce Am Tour, that will feature events at ten top golf courses across the U.S. and culminate at the world-renowned Casa de Campo Resort & Villas located in La Romana, Dominican Republic.

The Deuce Am Tour aims to provide an atmosphere for Legends to enjoy a premium event at exclusive clubs and play alongside some of the top amateurs in the world. In addition, both the NBRPA and Deuce organizations will collaborate to raise money in every market, in which an event is held, for a local organization that is dedicated to increasing diversity in the sport of golf. Legends and amateur participants will also be treated to top-notch entertainment, including pairing parties, events for cigar, fashion and whiskey aficionados, live music,industry networking and much more.

“We are excited to join forces with Deuce to be able to bring these types of events to where so many of our members enjoy being – on the golf course,” said Scott Rochelle, NBRPA President & CEO. “This partnership, with a fast growing, Black-owned company, allows us to present our members with an incredible opportunity to further their involvement in amateur golf tours and the golf industry as a whole. This alliance will enhance the competitive atmosphere at our national Amateur Tour events for our golfers and also for the former basketball players that will transition that naturally competitive spirit from the court to the fairways,” says Tarek DeLavallade, President of Deuce & the Deuce Am Tour. "Our goal is to create a memorable experience for everyone involved from the players, sponsors, and others who will be there to enjoy all of our national events."
