Two-time Masters champion Bernhard Langer arrived in Augusta, Ga., at the beginning of the week without a sponsor's logo on the front of his visor.

Langer, however, agreed to a deal with private charter company Wheels Up on Monday to wear the company's name on the side of his visor.

After the two-time Masters champion played himself into contention on Saturday, several companies sought out Langer's agent to put their name on his hat.

Langer showed loyalty and agreed with Wheels Up to move its logo to the front of the visor for Sunday's final round for more free air miles, ESPN's Darren Rovell reports.

The company isn't shy about making last-minute deals - it had its name on the side of Victor Espinoza's pants for the Belmont, where he rode American Pharoah to a Triple Crown win.

The 58-year-old Langer entered the final round two shots back of defending champion Jordan Spieth.
