Transcend Capital Advisors has solidified its commitment to nurturing young golf talent by entering into a multi-year Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) partnership with Gianna Clemente, an emerging force in the world of golf.
At just 16 years old, Clemente boasts an impressive resume, currently holding the #2 spot in the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) rankings and ranking #32 in the Women’s World Amateur Golf Rankings (WAGR).
Hailing from Estero, Florida, Clemente has been making waves in the golfing community since her early years, clinching her first tournament victory at the tender age of five.
Her remarkable journey gained national attention in 2019 when, at only 11 years old, she qualified for the U.S. Women’s Amateur Championship.
By the age of 14, Clemente made history as the youngest player to secure spots in three consecutive LPGA Tour events via Monday Qualifiers.
Clemente’s accolades extend beyond her young age. She clinched victory at the 2023 South Atlantic Women’s Amateur Championship, also known as “The Sally,” making her mark as the youngest-ever winner of the AJGA Ping Invitational in both 2021 and 2022.
Additionally, she emerged triumphant at the Junior PGA Championship, capping off a stellar 2023 season that included representing the USA at the PING Junior Solheim Cup.
Expressing her enthusiasm for joining Team Transcend, Clemente said, “The team they have built is truly amazing, and I am humbled to become part of such a great group.
I am grateful for Transcend’s commitment to amateur golf, and their support will allow me to continue growing into the best player that I can be.”
Transcend Capital Advisors’ Managing Partner, Brian Gorczynski, highlighted the firm’s mission to invest in promising amateur players, stating, “Gianna has established herself as one of the brightest stars in the game, and her accomplishments speak for themselves.
We are thrilled to welcome her to Team Transcend and are excited to watch all that she will achieve over the course of her career.”
Clemente joins a roster of exceptional young talents under Transcend’s wing, including Ben James, Yana Wilson, Blades Brown, and Miles Russell.
With this partnership, Transcend continues its legacy of supporting the next generation of golfing champions on their path to success.
