AUGUSTA, Ga., June 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- E-Z-GO will again be the ride of choice for "Capital One's The Match," the Emmy-winning series of televised live golf competitions that pit golf icons and professional athletes against each other on world-renowned courses to support charities and communities nationwide. E-Z-GO is donating eight customized RXV ELiTE golf cars for The Match's July 6 event, with the vehicles being auctioned to benefit charities chosen by the competitors.

The latest round of The Match will feature World Golf Hall of Famer Phil Mickelson — winner of six major tournaments including the 2021 PGA Championship — and seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady teeing off against 2020 U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau and reigning NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers. The athletes will face off at Moonlight Basin, a Jack Nicklaus-signature course in Big Sky, Mont.

E-Z-GO vehicles are designed and manufactured by Textron Specialized Vehicles Inc., a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company. Mickelson, Brady, DeChambeau and Rodgers each will ride in a personalized E-Z-GO RXV® ELiTE™ car during the competition.
