A Scottish company announced this week that it will provide power for the second straight year to the Western Golf Association and Evans Scholars Foundation championships.
Aggreko, which provides mobile modular power, temperature control and energy services, will supply power for its first event this year at the 2025 BMW Championship. The company will serve as the official military appreciation provider and provide both cooling and power technology for the PGA Tour event, which will be held Aug. 12 to Aug. 17 at the Caves Valley Golf Club in Baltimore.
The company, which was founded in 1962, will install and operate air conditioners and generators to fulfill the energy needs for the duration of the tournament. Aggreko has also provided power, heating and cooling services for previous PGA TOUR events, including THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson and the 2024 BMW Championship.
As a military appreciation partner for the BMW Championship, the company will enable all active duty, retirees, active reserve and veterans of any branch of service to receive a complimentary ticket on each day of the championship.
Military attendees and their guests will also have access to the Champions Club as the official Military Outpost hospitality tent with complimentary food and beverages on the 14th green for the Tuesday and Wednesday practice rounds.
The company also will continue sponsoring the Aggreko Power Solutions Evans Scholarship, an award that provides a full tuition and housing college scholarship to a high-achieving youth caddie.
The first Aggreko Power Solutions Evans Scholar was Sean Raadsen, a University of Illinois Chicago sophomore studying Aerospace Engineering and an accomplished caddie at the Crystal Lake Country Club in his hometown of Crystal Lake, Illinois.
“Partnering with WGA and ESF has been a great honor for us, and a central part of our youth and veteran outreach,” Stephen Saal, vice president of sales and marketing at Aggreko North America, said. “We are honored to continue supporting WGA events with our advanced energy solutions, as well as supporting the college scholarship program for ESF. We’re also pleased to continue our work with the veteran community as the Military Appreciation Partner for the BMW Championship this year.”
Aggreko’s engagement with the BMW Championship continues the company’s efforts to support the veteran population. The company actively recruits from the military population, as their expertise makes veterans highly suited to become integral members of Aggreko’s workforce.
According to its website, more than 10 percent of Aggreko’s workforce in North America is from a military background.
