(ACTON, ON) – RBC Avion Visa, which became the official credit card of the RBC PGA Scramble in 2021, is giving Avioners even more incentive to sign up for Canada’s largest team championship this year. 
 
In addition to offering Avioners 50% off the cost of their team registration fee, Avion will be providing supplementary plus-ups to players at Regional Finals throughout the country. 
 
This offering is part of The Avion Collection, an ever-expanding catalogue of exclusive experiences and offers –just for Avioners. 
 
“All of us at the PGA of Canada can’t say enough great things about our partnership with RBC; together we’ve grown the RBC PGA Scramble into something incredibly special,” said Kevin Thistle, PGA of Canada CEO. “The addition of Avion as the official credit card of the championship was a huge success and we can’t wait for what is in store for this year.” 
 
The 2021 RBC PGA Scramble National Championship featured the first ever Night Golf Shootout at The Nest at Cabot Cape Breton. Avion will assume title sponsorship of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play under the lights and win incredible prizes. Avioners will have the added benefit of exclusive access to this experience before everyone else.

With RBC and the PGA of Canada extending their partnership through the 2024 National Championship, additional investment from Avion is one of the many ways the organizations is looking to continue the growth of the program.
