Kiawah Island, S.C. — The Amateur Players Tour (APT) announced a new three-year national sponsorship agreement with Mission Belt during today’s event The Conflict at Kiawah hosted at the world-renowned Kiawah Island Resort, marking the beginning of a strategic partnership built on performance, authenticity, and the shared values of delivering an exceptional experience.
The agreement makes Mission Belt the official belt of the Amateur Players Tour, with integrated activation across APT championships, member experiences, digital platforms, and on-site events nationwide.
“Mission Belt is a natural fit for the Amateur Players Tour,” said CEO and Co-Founder Matt Minder. “They understand what it means to perform under pressure, to compete the right way, and to stand for something bigger than the product itself.

Through the partnership, Mission Belt will engage directly with APT’s national membership base—one of the most dedicated and competitive amateur golf audiences in the country.
“This partnership allows us to connect with golfers who take pride in how they compete,” said Jack Curry, Senior Sales Director at Mission Belt. “The Amateur Players Tour represents integrity, preparation, and passion for the game. We’re excited to support a tour that is truly built by the players, for the players.”
Over the next three years, the partnership will include on-site activations, branded merchandise, exclusive member offers, and collaborative storytelling that highlights both competition and community impact.
