This latest partnership strengthens PEUGEOT’s long association with tennis by officially linking its presence in 160 countries with the ATP World Tour’s global footprint.
“Peugeot has a rich history in our sport and this long-term partnership with the ATP World Tour will cement their position as the preeminent car brand in tennis,” said Chris Kermode, ATP Executive Chairman & President. “As we witness record audiences worldwide, we’re delighted to attract such a reputable international brand as Peugeot and welcome them to our growing portfolio of partners.”
