Share an Uber with Tiger at the Wells Fargo Championship

The Story 

The Wells Fargo Championship is offering a new transportation option this year: Uber.

The Facts

– A special lot close to the Quail Hollow Club entrance will be designated for Uber, taxis or limos this year during the tournament, which runs May 11-17

– UBER requests can be made through WFCGOLF vehicle view.

– For every ride taken on that view, Uber will donate to Champions for Education.

– Special promo code for a free first ever Uber ride, up to $20: WFCGOLF15

– Tournament officials added the option after many requests from spectators, especially young people

– Tournament attracts around 180,000 visitors

Beware

Uber anticipates high demand during the tournament. When demand is high and the supply of available drivers is low, Uber implements “dynamic pricing,” or higher prices.

C5’s Take

This is the must-attend social scene of the spring. Now, you can drink your cocktails in your Lilly Pulitzer and not worry about driving home. Win!
