Farmers and Growing Golf
At Farmers, we celebrate diversity and inclusion within our organization and through the game of golf and we have dedicated time and resources to making a difference in communities we serve. As the title sponsor of the Farmers Insurance Open®, we take seriously the responsibility and opportunity we have to help champion diversity in the sport we love. Part of our commitment to diversity and inclusion has been focused on establishing a networking pipeline designed to help increase diversity in golf participation and through the industry as a whole. The pipeline begins with introductions and invitations to the sport and extends through college opportunities and into the professional space.
In January 2020, we were proud to be the first PGA TOUR tournament to host an Advocates Pro Golf Association (APGA) Tour event during tournament week with the formation of the APGA Tour Farmers Insurance® Invitational. In 2022, the event held its 3rd annual tournament, making history with the final round broadcast nationally on The Golf Channel.
“I've seen first-hand how support from Farmers Insurance has helped the APGA Tour grow and bring more diversity to the game,” said 2021 APGA Tour Farmers Insurance Invitational winner Landon Lyons. “Personally, I've grown more both on and off the course by playing on the APGA Tour than I could have imagined. The players on the APGA Tour are some of the hardest working people that I've been around, and I have made friendships that will last me a long time. This is a great Tour to test your game as a golfer and an even better place to broaden your understanding and become a better person. Farmers is truly making a difference for all of us and for the game and I hope other companies will follow their lead to support the APGA Tour.”
Farmers has further deepened our relationship with the APGA TOUR by increasing our financial support for player access, helping to provide professional and career development opportunities for players, and helping to bring the game to younger athletes.
In addition to our increased commitment to the APGA Tour, Farmers supports the Black College Golf Coaches Association and has an expanded relationship with the APGA Foundation. By engaging these organizations, we help to create an introduction to the game and a lasting connection that extends through college and into the professional space. This dedicated effort to provide a path into golf will help guide more players from diverse backgrounds into the game, into college, and into the industry as a whole and ultimately enhance diversity within various levels of the professional game.
Farmers Golf Ambassadors
Rickie Fowler
Farmers Insurance has proudly sponsored Rickie Fowler since 2013. His journey to PGA TOUR stardom began in California at the Murrieta Valley Golf Range under the tutelage of his grandfather Taka Tanaka and coach Barry McDonnell.
Before turning pro in 2009, Fowler was regarded as one of the top amateurs in the world, reaching number one in the World Amateur Golf Rankings in 2007. He attended Oklahoma State University, where he won the 2008 Ben Hogan Award, given annually to the best player in college golf. Fowler pays tribute to his alma mater by wearing orange on Sundays.
Fowler has worked alongside Farmers on growing golf and disaster resilience efforts. He made a special effort for the residents of Moore, Oklahoma, when a 2013 tornado devastated their city. In addition to matching a $100,000 donation for the Red Cross, he surprised golf teams at three local high schools with a clinic and new Cobra golf bags. Fowler also joined Farmers in rebuilding homes in Sea Bright, New Jersey, following Hurricane Sandy and in Houston, Texas, following Hurricane Harvey.
