Viktor Hovland. Out?

Noticed pro golfer Viktor Hovland not having the AP logo on his golf shirt (right arm sleeve). No longer a brand ambassador?

Unfortunately, AP is moving away from golf, so Hovland and Kim losing sponsorship.

Aryna Sabalenka (tennis player) just got a sponsorship so I assume for tennis for AP?

Ilaria is a fan of tennis.
They announced Sabalenka after her win at the US Open.

A lot of their golfers took the LIV money early doors. A lot of politics going on in golf. Obviously not for them any more. Can’t say I blame them.

That’s too bad because I really liked the affiliation being a fan of both golf and the brand..

Did you tell AP webmaster yet? All their sponsored golfers are in the website.

Interesting. Maybe Rolex is too dominant there with all the golf sponsorships. I always appreciated the few that had the AP logo on their shirts when I got into this hobby (as am also an avid golf fan)

I think this is likely it, and FHB was a golfer before AP, so there was always support for it previously.

Tom Kim is playing without the AP logo at the Sony this week. I always liked seeing a few AP sponsored players out there and the golf events were very unique opportunities to play with those guys.

Champions Tour starts soon. We'll see if Miguel Angel Jimenez is still part of the AP club.

I did read somewhere that AP is making moves to sponsor Ballet and Softball as sports in the near future but I don't believe it.

It could be possible with the direction AP is taking but doubt it.

My SA also mentioned a while back that AP would be slowly moving away from golf. I was a little disappointed to hear that.
