When professional golfers step onto the course, they become walking billboards for various brands and companies. Few sports showcase corporate partnerships as visibly as golf, with logos prominently displayed on shirts, hats, and equipment. For PGA Tour professional J.J. Spaun, these endorsement relationships form an important part of his career, complementing his tournament earnings and enhancing his professional profile.
The 34-year-old California native has built a respectable portfolio of corporate partnerships throughout his career on the Tour. While not among the highest-earning golfers in endorsement value, Spaun has established meaningful relationships with several brands that support his professional journey and align with his personal values.

J.J. Spaun’s current sponsorship lineup reveals strategic partnerships
Spaun currently maintains relationships with several notable brands, starting with PUMA Golf as his apparel provider. The PUMA deal gives him comprehensive head-to-toe coverage during tournaments, replacing his previous partnership with eco-friendly brand Galvin Green. During his breakthrough 2022 Valero Texas Open victory, Spaun wore Galvin Green’s Quickdry combination, even commenting at the time, “I love that the line is eco-friendly because we only have one earth, and it’s important that all companies do what they can to be sustainable.”
On the equipment side, Spaun represents Srixon, using their ZX7 irons (4-PW) and playing the Srixon Z-Star Diamond golf balls. Interestingly, despite this partnership, Spaun employs a mixed bag approach with his other clubs, including a Ping driver, TaylorMade and Callaway fairway woods, Cleveland wedges, and a Scotty Cameron putter. This practical approach prioritizes performance over complete brand loyalty, a choice many pros make.
Beyond golf-specific brands, Spaun has cultivated important corporate partnerships that form the backbone of his sponsorship portfolio. Amerisure Insurance stands as his longest-running corporate relationship, dating back to 2020 when they connected during the Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit. This partnership has evolved considerably, with Spaun renewing his contract just six weeks ago in early 2025. He prominently displays the Amerisure logo on his shirt during every tournament appearance.

Rocket Mortgage represents another significant presence in Spaun’s endorsement lineup. Along with Amerisure and Srixon, one of his “most notable sponsorship deals” is consistently mentioned. The Detroit-based mortgage company is described as a “long-time supporter” of Spaun’s career.

Another important corporate partnership in Spaun’s portfolio is with PROS Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: PRO), which he joined as a brand ambassador in 2022. As part of this arrangement, Spaun features the PROS logo on the right chest of his apparel. His partnership with PROS Holdings illustrates how Spaun approaches sponsorship relationships beyond simple financial considerations.
When the partnership was announced, he emphasized the importance of shared values, stating, “I’m incredibly excited about partnering with PROS, as the values of any company I represent need to align with my own.” This statement demonstrates his thoughtful approach to selecting corporate partners.
The community engagement aspect of his sponsorships also shows the multifaceted nature of these relationships. In 2023, Spaun participated in PROS Global Day of Caring, an initiative supporting families in need in Houston, Texas. This extension into charitable work shows how his endorsement deals have enabled him to expand his impact beyond golf.
While these partnerships have served Spaun well throughout his career, his continued improvement on the PGA Tour raises important questions about the financial impact of his current endorsement portfolio and its growth potential.

Endorsement value poised for transformation after playoff performance
With an estimated net worth of $5 million and career tournament earnings exceeding $14.5 million, Spaun’s endorsement income currently plays a supporting rather than a leading role in his financial picture. While specific financial details remain private, his reported annual income is approximately $2 million—a figure that pales compared to golf’s elite players, who often earn more from endorsements than tournament play. His sponsorship portfolio, while respectable, remains modest compared to golf’s biggest stars.
For players of Spaun’s caliber (currently ranked around 57th in the world), sponsorships provide important financial and professional stability. The relationships with companies like Amerisure Insurance, PROS Holdings, and Rocket Mortgage complement his tournament earnings while giving him the security to focus on improving his game.

As Spaun continues to improve his standing on tour and increases his visibility in big tournaments, his sponsorship value will likely grow. Strong performances in high-profile events naturally attract attention from potential sponsors looking for athletes who can represent their brands effectively both on and off the course.
For players like Spaun, who demonstrate consistency, professionalism, and alignment with brand values, corporate partnerships offer not just financial support but opportunities for career development and community impact. Whether these relationships expand in the coming years depends largely on his continued performance and visibility on the PGA Tour.
