Tito’s Stillhouse Adds Free Fan Amenities to this Year's Wyndham Championship

Tito’s Stillhouse will debut near the ninth green at the 2018 Wyndham Championship is set for Aug. 14-19.

In addition to Tito’s Stillhouse, the Tito’s Handmade Vodka Lounge will remain in its usual greenside location offering a perfect view of the play at the ninth hole. “We want Wyndham Championship attendees to be able to engage and understand our brand story a little bit while enjoying some great golf along with concessions and delicious cocktails,” Tito’s state manager Joseph Ligon said. “Knowing not everyone has been to our distillery, the look and feel of the Stillhouse Lounge is a fun way for them to see some brand elements that define us: copper pot stills, Austin-esque decorations, tasty cocktails and opportunities to sign up to be a Tito’s Tasters and get some fun Tito’s give-a-way items.” Among the other free Wyndham Championship fan amenities are Margaritaville at the Wyndham, the Sunbrella Comfort Zone at the 12th green, the BB&T Fan Pavilion at the ninth green, the Wyndham Beach and the Harris Teeter Kids Zone near the main entrance. The Wyndham Championship is a two-time winner of the PGA TOUR’s “Most Fan-Friendly Event” award.
