Lyoness continues its sponsoring activities in the top-division of golf: at the press conference, which was held on 3rd November 2014 in Vienna, the company announced that it will continue to be title sponsor of Austria's largest golf event until 2019. "Being part of the European Tour this tournament provides the ideal communication platform for networking with members and partners on an international level," company spokesperson Mathias Vorbach is excited about extending the involvement in golf. The Lyoness Open 2015 will take place from 11th to 14th June 2015 at Diamond Country Club in Atzenbrugg. Further, the status of the tournament will be enhanced: The prize money will be increased to 1.5 Million euro.

The Lyoness Open will be a green golf event also next year being committed to environmental protection and sustainability. As it has done in the last three years the Greenfinity Foundation, the Lyoness-owned environmental foundation, will take concrete measures in order to ecologically improve the golf tournament.

Ground-breaking partnership with OGV (Austrian Golf Association)

Lyoness took the opportunity to announce a long-term partnership with the Austrian Golf Association (OGV). From March 2015 the OGV membership card is planned to not only bear the Lyoness logo but also offer all of the advantages of a Lyoness Cashback Card. OGV card owners can make use of shopping benefits at selected Lyoness loyalty merchants and at the same time support youth work in their own club with every purchase made as soon as the card's Cashback function is activated. One per cent of the shopping turnover generated by using the OGV card in the Lyoness merchant network will benefit the project "Hello Juniors". Currently Lyoness and OGV are establishing the technical infrastructure as well as the merchant network for this partnership. Details concerning the partnership will be announced at the beginning of March in a special press conference.
