Ogden, Utah-based charter and fractional operation SkyShare has embarked upon an exclusive ambassador sponsorship deal with Utah native and PGA Tour player, Patrick Fishburn. The agreement runs throughout 2025 and provides Fishburn with transportation to some of The Tour's top tournaments, including the Waste Management Phoenix Open at TPC Scottsdale. Entering his second year after a terrific rookie season, Fishburn has already played 28 Tour events, making the cut over 50 per cent of the time and amassing multiple top five and top 10 finishes.
“I am beyond grateful for the opportunity SkyShare has given us,” he says. “With a comprehensive tournament schedule this year and our third baby on the way, having seamless, reliable travel gives my wife and I the ability to take this adventure together with our soon-to-be three kids under the age of five. SkyShare was the obvious choice since it is based right in our backyard and we're aligned in terms of what's most important. Cory and the SkyShare team are one of those unique sponsorships that will help me improve my game and allow me to be in the lives of my kids during the years that no father wants to miss.”
SkyShare's entry into the world of golf reflects the natural alignment between private aviation and the needs of pro golfers, offering tailored solutions that prioritise efficiency, flexibility and the ability to spend more quality time practising and with family instead of navigating the complexities of commercial travel.
After unprecedented growth and success through innovative fractional ownership models designed to open up new entry points for entrepreneurs and executives looking to leverage private flight, SkyShare has now enhanced the value for its fractional owners through recently FAA-approved Part 91K. Now, fractional owners can enjoy private flight services without the burden of federal excise tax on their operational costs. This initiative reflects SkyShare's ongoing commitment to making private aviation more accessible and cost-effective as a strategic business tool, allowing clients to maximise their flying experiences while minimising expenses.
The company has also been included on the 2024 Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies for the fourth consecutive year, as well as its fourth consecutive recognition by the Utah 100 as one of the state's 100 fastest-growing private companies.
