Korn Ferry Announces Sponsorship of PGA TOUR Rookie

Firm to sponsor professional golfer Justin Suh

Los Angeles, Oct. 25, 2022 – Korn Ferry (NYSE: KFY) today announced the sponsorship of PGA TOUR golfer Justin Suh.  

Korn Ferry is currently the Umbrella Sponsor of the Korn Ferry Tour, and the Official Leadership Development Firm of the PGA TOUR, PGA TOUR Champions, and Korn Ferry Tour.

Korn Ferry’s sponsorship of Suh marks a partnership based on like-minded values, including career development, learning and the importance of exceeding potential through opportunity.  

The former four-time USC All-American earned his PGA TOUR card through the 2022 Korn Ferry Tour regular season, where he was ranked number one in the season-long points race and won the 2022 Korn Ferry Tour Championship presented by United Leasing & Finance.

Suh, the former #1 ranked amateur in the world in 2018 and 2019, turned professional after graduating with a degree in business administration in the summer of 2019. He played briefly on the PGA Tour Latinoamérica before joining the Korn Ferry Tour in 2022. He also earned exemptions into the 2023 Players Championship and the 2023 U.S. Open based on finishing the season as the top ranked player on the Korn Ferry Tour.

“Justin Suh and the success he has achieved in his early professional golf career are a great fit for what Korn Ferry is all about,” said Jill Wiltfong, CMO, Korn Ferry. “An organizational consulting firm, Korn Ferry’s mission is to help people be more than. To discover their full potential and advance their careers. Justin is a talented player, and we welcome the opportunity to support him as he starts his PGA TOUR journey.”

“The firm’s values and clear connection to developing talent is a perfect match for me,” said Suh. “I wouldn’t have been able to make it here without the support of those around me, and I feel lucky to have a firm like Korn Ferry by my side.”

Suh joins PGA TOUR professional Sahith Theegala, among the players sponsored by Korn Ferry. He will be representing Korn Ferry’s brand at tournaments moving forward.
