Context:

Rahm, 28, has enjoyed a hugely successful year on the golf course, having topped the world rankings on several occasions, thanks to four title wins, including a maiden title at Augusta.

Comment:

“I’m so happy to continue this incredible relationship with Callaway and I truly have played the best golf of my career with their equipment,” said Rahm. “From the driver to the golf ball, they continue to set the bar higher with every new product line, and I’m looking forward to many more great years with their team.”

Of the Santander deal, Rahm said: “It is an honour to join the Santander family and become an ambassador for the global company. With a rich history in Spain, a large global presence, and a deep commitment to excellence, this partnership is a great fit, and I look forward to working with the team at Santander for many years to come.”

Coming next:

Rahm’s growing endorsement portfolio may push the Spaniard into this year’s 50 Most Marketable Athletes list, and a strong showing at the upcoming 151st edition of The Open will elevate his profile even further.
