A few weeks ago, at TPC Sawgrass, many a fan thought Will Zalatoris would win THE PLAYERS Championship. He contended mightily over the first two rounds but fell off on Saturday.
A flying start, yes, in many ways.
So, it’s only fitting that Zalatoris, one of the brightest young stars in the game today, has joined the Magellan Jets professional golf staff. The move further distances the private aviation company as the go-to travel provider among professional and recreational golfers.
A Magellan Jets’ Jet Card holder, Zalatoris flies weekly to and from PGA TOUR events and for personal appearances and leisure activities, making the partnership a natural extension based on his loyalty.
Zalatoris’ role as a Magellan Jets Brand Ambassador includes hosting unique golf experiences for the company’s Private Clients, displaying the Magellan Jets logo on his golf gear and participating in marketing campaigns.
The addition of Zalatoris follows Magellan Jets’ recent partnership with legendary golf instructor Claude Harmon III and its selection as the “Official Private Aviation Provider” of 4Aces Golf Club, captained by two-time major champion Dustin Johnson, on the LIV Golf League. Many professional golfers on major Tours worldwide have purchased Magellan Jets’ Jet Cards and fly Charter with the company.
“I live in Dallas where flying commercially is especially harried,” said Zalatoris. “Tour players rave about Magellan Jets extraordinary service, luxury aircraft and safety record, so I purchased a Magellan Jets’ Jet Card. Now I don’t get anxious when it comes to travel and can focus even more on my game and life away from the course.”
“Will Zalatoris is an exceptional young man who possesses the morals and values of Magellan Jets,” said Joshua Marc Hebert, Founder and CEO of Magellan Jets. “Like other professional athletes, he counts on us managing his travel and getting him efficiently, safely and on time to his next tournament and other commitments globally.”
At age 28, Zalatoris is expected to enjoy a breakthrough 2025 season. He finished second in the 2021 Masters Tournament, 2022 PGA Championship and 2022 U.S. Open, and won the 2022 Fe-Ex St. Jude Classic. Eight top 10 finishes in 2021 earned Zalatoris PGA TOUR Rookie of the Year. Other achievements include a U.S. Junior Amateur victory, Walker Cup play and ACC Player of the Year award at Wake Forest.
Zalatoris’ selection of Magellan Jets is no surprise. The company was named by Modern Luxury as “Best Private Jet Charter 2024” and is among Inc. 5000’s “Fastest Growing Companies”. Through its curated network of private aviation operators, Magellan Jets’ asset-light model provides the most flexible and comprehensive range of private jet solutions, financial stability and an industry leading safety management system. Each Private Client is paired with a dedicated Private Aviation Advisor who manages all aspects of the end-to-end travel journey.
Discerning recreational golfers also rely on Magellan Jets for travel to and from bucket-list golf courses across America and abroad. In addition to iconic private clubs, Bandon Dunes, Kiawah Island, Pebble Beach, Pinehurst and Whistling Straits are among the most popular destinations.
