Jon Rahm announces new sponsor ahead of The Open Championship
Jon Rahm confirms he has partnered with Santander ahead of the 151st Open Championship.
Jon Rahm admits it's "an honour to join the Santander family and become an ambassador for the global company" on the eve of this week's 151st Open Championship at Royal Liverpool.
Rahm, 28, also announced this week that he has signed a multi-year extension with his club manufacturer, Callaway Golf.
The World No.3 will now help the Santander brand increase its visibility in North America where the brand has a significant presence.
Rahm said:
According to the company, the collaboration will complement Santander’s other global sponsorships, such as the Scuderia Ferrari and League of Legends (LOL) alliances, with the goal of strengthening the emotional bond between Santander and its stakeholders, leveraging Santander’s brand value and communicating the bank’s mission and values.
Ana Botin, Banco Santander executive chair, said:
Rahm is out with Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose for the first two rounds of The Open.
Andy first joined the brand on a month's work experience back in April 2011, and he now assumes the Editor role. When Andy joined GolfMagic it was a small site with potential.
