The Summer Tour is Open for Business

After 20-plus years of running on passion and entry fees alone, the Summer Tour is officially open for business. We've launched a Partner Network — and we're actively looking for local Arizona businesses to come along for the ride.

Why Now?

The product has always been there. Brad Pilon has been building and running this league for over two decades — the events, the formats, the culture, the community. All of it. The new website finally gives that work a home it deserves, and for the first time gives us a way to show potential partners exactly what they'd be a part of. The league hasn't changed. Now the world can see it.

The Numbers Behind the Pitch

We run approximately 25 events per year. In 2026 we have 73 active members. And over the past decade, more than 350 different players have teed it up in a Summer Tour event. That's a real, engaged audience of Arizona golfers — homeowners, business owners, and community members who talk to their networks.

Bigfoot Pools Leads the Way

We already have our first partner. Bigfoot Pools sponsors the Desert Cup Championship — donating a custom golf bag to the season's top points earner. Last season, Spencer Harter presented Kevin Hall with the bag at the season finale. That's exactly the kind of moment we want to create more of, and exactly the kind of exposure we want to offer partners.

What's Available

The Partner Network page lays out everything in detail, but here's the short version:

• Presenting Sponsor ($750–$1,000) — logo everywhere, banner at every event, mention in every email
• Gold Sponsor ($500) — website placement, quarterly social posts, hole sponsorship
• Event Sponsor ($250) — sponsor a single tournament, logo on pairings sheet, award presentation opportunity
• Hole Sponsor ($100) — tee sign at a designated hole, website recognition
• Prize Sponsor (no check required) — bags, rangefinders, gift cards, apparel — your brand on the prize table

Know Someone?

If you know a local business that might be a good fit — a buddy who owns a restaurant, a contractor, a real estate agent, anyone — send them our way. The inquiry form is right on the Partner Network page, or they can reach us through Contact Us. We'll take it from there.
