BRIGHTON, Mich., May 16, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- OptiShot Golf, one of the largest golf
technology companies, today announced their sponsorship of
Tyler Collet, a PGA of America
Member and golf professional at John's Island Club in Vero Beach, Florida. Collet is making his
third appearance at the PGA Championship this week where he is one
of 21 PGA Professionals playing in the event. He previously played
in the 2021 PGA Championship at Kiawah Island Golf Resort's Ocean
Course and the 2022 tournament at Southern Hills Country
Club.
Collet is part of a collective of athletes that are being backed
by Carry: Athlete Investing Inc. "Carry" is an Athlete Success
Platform created in 2021 to help up-and-coming pros access the
early career funding they need, so that promising golf careers
aren't cut short due to the high costs of competition. To date,
Carry has facilitated over $900K in
financial support for its growing roster of talent, with several
athletes achieving career breakthroughs. This includes $350K+
raised via the Carry Golf Club LLC crowdfunding campaign to support
the Company's 2023 Cohort. In 2024, Carry shifted its primary
source of capital for the athletes from individual backers, or "Fan
Investors", to corporate sponsors. The Company's primary focus is
winning "enterprise" sponsorships for its entire collective of
talent, while also supporting some of its roster with direct
representation, as it does for Tyler
Collet. OptiShot Golf began the relationship with Carry as a
brand partner in 2023, providing product discounts to Carry
community members.
"We are thrilled to expand our relationship with Carry and to
sponsor Tyler, a great person with tremendous talent. He's got a
likability about him that makes you want to root for him", said
OptiShot President and COO, Kevin
Johnston. "He's been playing great golf this season and has
competed in two PGA TOUR events this year, making the cut at the
Puerto Rico Open and narrowly missing the cut at the Cognizant
Classic in February. In addition, Tyler is a competitor in South
Florida PGA tournaments, where he is the two-time defending Player
of the Year. We couldn't be prouder to support him."
Collet tees off at 7:20am for the
First Round of the PGA Championship.
