Jon Rahm extends his contract with Callaway Golf
On the eve of the 151st Open Championship at Royal Liverpool, Callaway announced that it has reached an agreement with Jon Rahm that will extend the Spaniard’s relationship with the brand and ensure that the golfer who is currently ranked No. 3 in the Official World Golf Ranking will be using Callaway gear for years to come.
Rahm, 28, won the 2021 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines and the 2023 Masters using Callaway equipment.
While the complete financial details of the endorsement deal were not disclosed, the extension of Rahm’s contract includes an equity position for Rahm in Topgolf Callaway Brands.
“We’re so proud to have Jon on our staff, and we couldn’t be more excited about this extension of our long-term partnership. Jon is an amazing talent, and he’s driven to be one of the very best to ever play the game,” said Topgolf Callaway Brands president and CEO Chip Brewer. “Equally important, he is a man of strong integrity and a brand ambassador who shares our passion for making a positive impact on our global sport. It’s a pleasure to work with him, and we look forward to focusing our considerable resources on his continued success.”
This season, Rahm has won The American Express, The Genesis Invitational, the Sentry Tournament of Champions and the Masters to earn more than $15 million in prize money.
Rahm’s contract extension will require him to use Callaway and Odyssey equipment, wear Callaway headwear, TravisMathew apparel and footwear, and help to promote Topgolf.
