During Super Bowl Weekend in 2024, the second biggest show in Vegas was the LIV Golf League event at the iconic Las Vegas Country Club. Winning that title, but keeping his lips sealed about who he was betting in the game, was Dustin Johnson. The LIV Golf League star has now announced his partnership with Magellan Jets.
DJ’s 4Aces GC and Magellan Jets formed a partnership designating the company to be the “official private aviation provider” of the Johnson-captained team. Johnson selected Magellan Jets to exclusively manage his private air travel globally, and teammate Patrick Reed has also flown with the company; therefore, it was a natural fit to expand the relationship to 4Aces GC.
The Vegas week was memorable and a good vibe, according to Johnson.
“It was a great week, and a great turnout today with the fans,” DJ said following his Vegas win. “There were a ton of fans out there. I felt like the energy was high. It was a lot of fun. Obviously, it was a little chilly and really breezy, but the weather was really nice. I think it was a great turnout and great support. You could feel the energy out there, for sure.”
Along with Johnson and Reed, the 4Aces GC’s Pat Perez and Harold Varner III will appear in promotion of the company’s private aviation solutions and host unique experiences for Magellan Jets’ customers. The crew will probably fly Magellan to Vegas when the LIV Golf League returns, as is expected.
“Between golf, business and family, my time is at a premium,” said Johnson, who was congratulated on the Las Vegas Country Club 18th green following his Vegas victory by hockey legend and father-in-law Wayne Gretzky. “I committed to being a Magellan Jets cardholder because I trust its personalized service and range of aircraft. My team at Magellan always goes the extra mile to ensure the comfort and safety of my family and the 4Aces on every trip. This partnership is a perfect fit, and we are excited to onboard Magellan as part of the 4Aces family.”
In the ever-evolving world of professional golf, one of the ongoing sagas is what companies will partner with the controversial (depends who you ask) LIV Golf League. And would the team model lead to lucrative partnerships. The Magellan partnership is some more evidence that the league is making headway.
4Aces and LIV Golf fans will see the team members display the Magellan Jets logo on their golf shirts in all LIV Golf and other professional golf events. The partnership with 4Aces GC marks the company’s continued growth in professional golf and sports. Magellan Jets recently became the Official Private Aviation Provider of the Boston Red Sox and hired long time industry veteran Todd Goldstein as Vice President of Sports and Entertainment to further expand reach within the category.
Recently named by Modern Luxury as “Best Private Jet Charter 2024,” Magellan Jets offers jet card ownership, membership, on-demand charter, and aircraft sales and management services. Through its curated network of private aviation operators, the company’s asset-light model provides the most flexible and comprehensive range of private jet solutions, financial stability and an industry leading safety management system. Each private client is paired with a dedicated Magellan Jets advisor who manages all aspects of the end-to-end travel journey.
According to the company info, “In a city like Vegas, where DJ won and flying privately is common, this partnership is fitting.”
Magellan Founder and CEO Joshua Marc Hebert appreciates his golf clientele, both the tour pros and business professionals who utilize the access to simplify lifestyle when traveling.
“Dustin Johnson is highly recognized as one of the best golfers in the world and one of the most knowledgeable and seasoned private fliers in all of sports,” Hebert said. “As with many tour players and professional athletes, we appreciate
Dustin’s loyalty to Magellan Jets.”
