Under Armour has secured a significant deal with rising English golf talent Kris Kim, marking a milestone in the young athlete’s career.
Kim, just 16 years old, is poised to make his PGA Tour debut at The CJ Cup Byron Nelson at TPC Craig Ranch in Texas.
This event will serve as a platform for Kim to showcase his skills alongside top-tier competitors, including renowned golfer and fellow Under Armour ambassador Jordan Spieth.
