Morikawa recently won his fourth PGA TOUR title with a victory
at the World Golf Championships-Workday Championship at The
Concession. His four wins are the most by any player currently
under the age of 25.
“Collin is a talented young
professional who represents so much of what we are focused on at
U.S. Bank – encouraging consumers to go after their goals, dreams
and ambitions,” said Beth McDonnell, chief marketing officer for
U.S. Bank. “We are impressed by Collin’s focus on teamwork as a
path to success and are excited to incorporate him and his team
into our brand campaigns. We want to wish Collin continued success
on TOUR this season.”
Morikawa turned pro in 2019
and made his professional debut in the 2019 RBC Canadian Open. He
won the 2019 Barracuda Championship as a rookie in only his sixth
professional start. In 2020, he won the Workday Charity Open in
July before winning his first major in August, the PGA Championship
at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco. His final-round 64 tied for
the lowest final round score in PGA Championship history and his
36-hole total of 129 was the lowest score over the final two rounds
in major championship history. Morikawa graduated from University
of California, Berkeley with a degree in Business Administration
and currently resides in Las Vegas, Nevada.
“I’ve had so many amazing
opportunities as a young professional and after meeting the team at
U.S. Bank and learning about the mission of the company and its
goals, it was a great fit for my team,” said Morikawa. “We’re
exploring all sorts of fun opportunities together and I’m
especially excited about ways we can work together to give back to
the communities that have helped shape my life and
career.”
U.S. Bank will be working with
Morikawa on brand campaign spots. The company recently launched a
new brand campaign “We’ll get there together.” View the spots
