"Maybach Golf Cup" for customers and friends of
the brand: Nick Faldo is the new Maybach brand ambassador
In future the high-end automobile brand Maybach
and the golfing legend Nick Faldo will have a joint involvement in golf.
Today Klaus Nesser, CEO of Maybach, SLR and Exclusive Products, and Nick
Faldo, Europe’s most successful golfer, concluded a long-term
partnership agreement at Brooklands near London, Great Britain. "With
Nick Faldo we have gained a brand ambassador who achieved an
extraordinary level of success during his active career as a golfer, and
who – like the Maybach brand – is involved in promoting the development
of young talent," said Klaus Nesser. As part of his activities as a new
ambassador for the Maybach brand, Faldo will take part in this year’s "Maybach
Golf Cup" for potential and existing Maybach customers.

"As a professional golfer I was always striving
to become the very best player that I could possibly be and it is that
same passion for perfection that has been applied to the development of
this very special car. The Maybach represents the absolute pinnacle of
motoring style and technology and I’m delighted to be so closely
associated with a brand that shares the very same values as my own",
commented Faldo on his new partnership with the car-maker.
With Nick Faldo, Maybach has gained a partner
who is able to look back on a unique series of achievements during his
sporting career: he has notched up more than 40 worldwide tournament
victories, including six Majors and eleven nominations for the European
Ryder Cup team, with which he celebrated four victories.
More recently, Faldo was appointed Captain of
the 2008 European Ryder Cup team, and he has also been working as a TV
commentator for the Golf Channel and CBS in the USA.
Exclusive tournament series for potential
and existing Maybach customers
In addition to its partnership with Nick Faldo,
Maybach is intensifying its involvement in golf with the "Maybach Golf
Cup" to be held this year. Existing and prospective customers will be
able to take part in four European tournaments in order to qualify for
the final in the USA. Teams of four players will compete against each
other during this series. In line with the so called Pro-Am system, each
quartet will have one golf professional in its ranks. Apart from Nick
Faldo, these will include top Tour player Gary Evans. On offer as a very
special hole-in-one prize at the "Maybach Golf Cup" is a Mercedes-Benz
SLR McLaren.
The qualifying rounds will commence at the end
of April 2007 with the opening of the newly constructed golf course at
the exclusive "La Zagaleta Country Club" outside Marbella, Spain. The
tournament at the "Golf and Country Club" in Moscow, Russia, will take
place in mid-June, with the last two rounds being played in Braz,
Austria, and Beuerberg, near Munich, Germany, in July. The final will be
held in December 2007 at the "Trump National Golfclub" in West Palm
Beach, Florida.
