Contactless and In-App Payments Enhance Fan
Experience at PGA TOUR event
Spectators at The Barclays will have the chance to use the
latest payment technology from Mastercard throughout the course or
while visiting the Mastercard Club this week in Farmingdale, NY.
Concession and merchandise point of sale locations throughout the
Black Course at Bethpage State Park will accept contactless
payments—including the enhanced Masterpass digital payment service
the company launched last month. Additionally, the public 18th
Green Bleacher and Mastercard Club will allow fans to order
concessions directly to their seat using Qkr! with Masterpass, an
app developed by Mastercard that enables consumers to seamlessly
order and pay for food via their smartphones. The app is available
for free in the iOS App store or in Google Play.
Masterpass enables consumers to look no further than their own
trusted bank or credit union to make fast, simple and secure
digital payments – across devices and channels – anywhere they want
to shop, be it online, in-app or in-store. Mastercard is the first
network to deliver an omni-channel, all-digital payment service for
consumers, issuers and merchants leveraging the most advanced
methods of payment security available today.
Attendees at this year’s tournament will also be the first in
the U.S. to experience the company’s evolved brand identity at a
sponsorship event. In July, Mastercard unveiled an evolution of its
logo—now simplified, modernized and optimized for an increasingly
digital world, as the company positions itself to bring a
forward-thinking, sophisticated and inclusive brand expression to
every consumer touch point.
“As a proud sponsor of The Barclays, we’re delighted to enhance
the spectator experience by not only bringing our latest payment
technology to the tournament, but also through our modernized and
elevated brand identity,” said Raja Rajamannar, chief marketing and
communications officer, Mastercard. “It’s an exciting week as
attendees will be among the first to experience the digital future
of Mastercard at a preeminent PGA TOUR event, The Barclays.”
“We take pride in having a world-class experience for fans at
the tournament,” said Peter Mele, executive director of The
Barclays. “The numerous enhancements Mastercard is providing onsite
at The Barclays firmly solidifies it as one of the premier events
on the PGA TOUR and one that golf fans on Long Island and in the
surrounding New York/New Jersey Metropolitan area can’t miss.”
Mastercard continues to go beyond its payment technology to
bring golf fans closer to the game. At The Barclays—which begins
Thursday, August 25—Mastercard cardholders will enjoy exclusive
access, experiences and benefits through the company’s Priceless
Golf, Priceless Cities and Priceless Surprises programs.
