Sponsorships play a significant role in an athlete’s life. Brands often engage in lucrative deals with athletes to increase their visibility. One such sport that attracts tremendous sponsorships is golf, with big names rushing to associate themselves with a rising star. Weeks after her historical second consecutive NCAA Championship win, LPGA star Rose Zhang’s stock raised, and she attracted lucrative deals from all over.
Following her astounding accomplishment on the greens, Rose Zhang appears to have entered the big league in endorsements. It seems that the young star is just going up and up!
Rose Zhang partners up with a renowned sports apparel brand
The golfer signed a multi-year deal with Adidas, a sports apparel giant worth $30.88 billion, as a professional wherein she would wear the brand’s apparel, accessories, and footwear inside the ropes. Before her formal sponsorship with Adidas, she had a NIL deal with the brand wherein she was compensated by the brand for using her identity to market their products.
Expressing her excitement and gratitude for the deal, Zhang said, “As I begin this next phase in my career, I can’t wait to represent the 3-Stripes as a professional. Over the past year we’ve been able to work on some amazing projects together. I love the products and can’t wait to continue this journey with the Adidas team.” Following the deal, Rose Zhang’s impressive trajectory continued as she joined Beverly Hanson in a rare club.
The 20-year-old became only the second person to win an LPGA event on debut after Beverly Hanson became the first in 1951. She also broke Tiger Woods’ elusive Stanford record and became the first amateur golfer to stay at the top of the amateur world rankings for 141 consecutive weeks. Besides this, she also became the first amateur golfer to sign a name, image, and likeness deal with names like Adidas and Callaway during her Stanford years.
If one thinks that Adidas is her only huge sponsor, you are mistaken. Before she turned pro, the golfer had a total of five big deals on her hands.

It seems that this list is about to expand in the future with her exceptional talent and skills. Do you think Rose Zhang is on her way to a promising golf career? Let us know in the comments down below.
