For decades, golf has been one of the elite sports that supports the Mercedes-Benz brand internationally. Since 2013, with the support of AvtoKapital, the event in Ukraine has acquired international status and entered the official calendar of the most prestigious international amateur golf tournament. Thanks to MercedesTrophy, thousands of Mercedes-Benz fans come together to share a passion for magnificent cars and the exciting game of golf.
According to the results of the Ukrainian stage of MercedesTrophy 2016, the winners were: Dmytro Fedusiv, Valerii Pedenko, Oleh Hrebelnykov, Oleksandr Krykun, Roman Rastvortsev, Oleg Vasylyk. Already in early June, the tournament leaders will have to defend the country's honor at the Regional Final in Austria, the winner of which will receive a ticket to Stuttgart: in October, at the birthplace of the legend of the global automotive industry, the main trophy will be played - the MercedesTrophy 2016 Nations Cup.
A real surprise for the participants of the event was the visit of the international brand ambassador of Mercedes-Benz Garrett McNamara - a world-famous professional surfer. In 2011, Garrett McNamara set a world record in Nazaré Bay in Portugal and raised interest in surfing in Europe to a new level. In 2013, together with Garrett McNamara, Mercedes-Benz launched the MBoard project to create unique surfboards.
The fruit of the joint efforts of Mercedes-Benz experts and a world-class athlete was an exclusive line of surfboards made of high-strength materials with many innovations. In addition to working together on the project, the extreme sports star is the face of the advertising campaign to promote the Mercedes-Benz SUV line.
During the Ukrainian stage of MercedesTrophy, guests could not only enjoy playing golf, take training at the "golf school", relax in a pleasant atmosphere, but also take a test drive of the most relevant Mercedes-Benz models, as well as learn about the advantages of the 2016 new products - the E-Class, GLS-Class and the new generation of city cars smart fortwo and forfour.
