Brooks Koepka Signs with #nike, Joining Tony Finau & 12 New Athletes
Brooks Koepka and Tony Finau, along with 12 new athletes from around the globe, join the #nike #golf roster.
Koepka, who is ranked 16th in the Official World #golf Rankings, turned pro in 2012. The 25-year-old is a three-time All American who competed at Florida State University before joining the Challenge Tour in Europe, where he won four events. On the 2015 PGA Tour, Koepka was a top-ten finisher in driving distance, won the Phoenix open title and finished T-5 at the PGA Championship.
“Nike is an iconic brand,” Koepka says. “All these great, legendary athletes, such as Kobe Bryant, seem to be with #nike. I’m lucky enough to represent the best company in the world. I’m excited with what #nike will do in the future for the game of #golf [and] I know that this partnership will help me achieve my personal goals.”
Finau, meanwhile, turned pro in 2007, upon graduation from high school, where he also exceled at basketball — at 6’4” he is among golf’s tallest players and his cousin is Jordan Brand athlete Jabari Parker. In 2014, after competing on the Web.com Tour, Finau earned his PGA Tour card for the 2014-15 seasons. The all-around athlete is currently ranked number two in average driving distance on the tour and finished T-14 and T-10 in the 2015 U.S. Open and PGA Championship, respectively.
“The best athletes in the world play for #nike and I'm glad to add my name to that list,” Finau affirms. “I look forward to striving for greatness as a lot of #nike athletes have. I know innovation is a big part of #nike and changing the mold, changing the game — that's what drew me to the Swoosh.”
