RBC adds three players to its world-class
roster through multi-year sponsorship deal
TORONTO, Nov. 25,
2022 /PRNewswire/ - RBC welcomes professional
golfers Sam Burns, Sahith Theegala,
and Cameron Young as its newest Team
RBC brand ambassadors. They join a world-class team of ambassadors
who embody the pinnacle of golf performance and align with RBC
values.
Burns, Theegala, and Young represent the strong field of talent
on the PGA TOUR, with incredible 2021-2022 seasons. Burns, with 22
top-ten finishes to-date, had three PGA TOUR victories this past
season, making him only the second player in PGA TOUR history to
win three or more TOUR titles in one season.
"I am thrilled to join Team RBC and their roster of elite
golfers," says Sam Burns, Team RBC
ambassador. "This season has been full of career-highs and becoming
an RBC brand ambassador is definitely one of them. I'm grateful for
their support and can't wait to build upon the momentum of
2022."
Since joining the TOUR in 2020, Theegala has quickly established
himself with seven top-ten finishes, including finishing T-2 at the
Travelers Championship and T-3 at the WM Phoenix Open.
"As a rookie on the TOUR, I'm proud to be joining Team RBC, a
long-time supporter of golf with a roster of high calibre
athletes," says Sahith Theegala, Team RBC ambassador. "Visiting
Canada for the RBC Canadian Open
was a highlight for me last season, and I can't wait to return in
2023."
Young holds seven top-ten finishes, including the 2022 RBC
Heritage, and was named 2022 PGA TOUR Rookie of the Year as voted
by the TOUR's membership for the 2021-2022 season.
"Joining a world-class group of golfers and working with a brand
that shares my own values is a dream come true," says Cameron Young, Team RBC ambassador. "RBC is
doing great things for the sport, and I'm looking forward to
joining them as an ambassador."
Team RBC was established in 2009 and is comprised of elite
touring professionals on the PGA and LPGA TOUR. Along with wearing
RBC branding on their apparel and golf bag, Burns, Theegala, and
Young will support many of the bank's marketing initiatives
and client experiences. RBC is the title sponsor of two PGA TOUR
events, the RBC Canadian Open and the RBC Heritage, and is also a
supporter of community golf events including the RBC PGA Scramble
and RBC Community Junior Golf.
"We are thrilled to welcome professional golfers Sam Burns, Sahith Theegala, and Cameron Young to Team RBC. It was a pleasure to
watch them play at the 2022 RBC Canadian Open and RBC Heritage and
to see their incredible success this season," says Mary DePaoli, EVP and Chief Marketing Officer,
RBC. "We are impressed by their dedication and passion both on and
off the course and look forward to what's next for these talented
golfers."
