Travel Protection for Golf Professionals
 

Did you attend the recent Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches or follow the action from home? We proudly served as the official travel insurance provider for this prestigious golf tournament, which took place February 26 – March 2, 2025, at the iconic PGA National Resort & Spa in Palm Beach Gardens, FL. The event brought together some of the world’s best golfers and thousands of passionate fans, and TII was there to help protect travelers’ plans every step of the way.

Whether fans traveled to Palm Beach to watch the tournament live or planned their own golf adventures inspired by the event, TII’s travel protection plans were designed to provide peace of mind.

Barbra Merwin, President of Travel Insured International, shared her thoughts on the partnership:
“Travel Insured International is thrilled to support the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches – a premier tournament that brought together some of the world’s best golfers and passionate golf fans. As the event’s official travel insurance provider, we are proud to help protect travelers as they prepare for their trips, whether for this event or their own golf journeys.”



Why Do Golf Travelers Need Travel Protection?

Golf travel often involves more than just booking a flight and hotel. From transporting expensive equipment like golf clubs to managing unexpected travel disruptions, having the right travel protection  can help make a difference. Here are some common questions about travel protection for golf enthusiasts:


Q: What happens if my golf clubs are lost or delayed during my trip?

A: TII’s travel protection plans often include baggage and personal effects coverage, which can reimburse you for lost, stolen, or damaged items during your trip. The Worldwide Trip Protector Platinum plan offers an optional baggage bundle which includes coverage for your golf equipment.


Q: Can travel insurance help if my trip is canceled or interrupted?

A: Absolutely. TII’s travel protection plans can cover unexpected cancellations or interruptions due to covered reasons, such as illness, severe weather, or other unforeseen events. These benefits can help ensure you’re protected if your plans change unexpectedly.



“Travel Beyond the Green” Campaign

As part of its sponsorship, TII launched the “Travel Beyond the Green” campaign, which focused on the unique needs of golf travelers. Whether fans attended the Cognizant Classic or planned their own golf getaways, this campaign highlighted the importance of travel protection for every step of the journey.

“We were thrilled to align with this highly-respected tournament – known for its strong field and challenging course featuring the iconic ‘Bear Trap,’” said Merwin. “This sponsorship reinforces our commitment to providing travelers with protection and peace of mind, whether they were following their favorite players or embarking on their own golf adventures.”
