3 Time Major Champion and 13 Time PGA Tour Winner - Builds on Commitment to the Next Generation of Golfers
BALTIMORE, MD – June 5, 2025 – The National Junior Tour powered by Under Armour announced today that three-time major champion Jordan Spieth has joined the organization as an investor and brand ambassador. Spieth, a long-time Under Armour athlete since turning professional in 2013, will take an active role in the National Junior Tour's growth initiatives, competitive structure, and player development programs.
This strategic partnership represents a significant milestone for the tour, uniting one of golf's most respected players with the fastest-growing junior golf tour in America, further solidifying Under Armour's role in the sport and the development of the next generation of talent.
“Under Armour has always redefined what athletes can achieve while investing in the future of the game, and I’m proud to support that mission by partering with the National Junior Tour,” said Spieth. “My junior golf experience was fundamental not only to my development as a golfer but also as a person, and I’m excited to create opportunities for young players to compete at a high level while learning the values that make golf such a special sport.”
The National Junior Tour powered by Under Armour has quickly established itself as a premier competitive platform for junior golfers ages 6-18. Today, the tour engages over 7,500 youth athletes each year, reflecting Under Armour’s ongoing commitment to expanding access and raising the level of play for junior golfers. With innovative tournament formats, a focus on long-term development and access to world class gear, the Tour offers young athletes meaningful competitive experiences on top-tier courses across the country.
"Jordan Spieth embodies everything we stand for at the National Junior Tour," said Ray Taranto, founder and President of the National Junior Tour. “His commitment to excellence, integrity, and giving back to the game makes him the perfect partner to shape the future of the sport. Together with UA’s performance leadership, we are equipping young golfers to lead the future of junior golf by delivering comprehensive development and competitive opportunities."
As part of the partnership, Spieth will contribute to the tour’s player development efforts, attend select events, and provide content and experiences for tour members. The Jordan Spieth Family Foundation will also award scholarships to select National Junior Tour participants, helping remove financial barriers for talented young golfers. Under Armour’s integration of performance apparel and footwear specifically engineered for junior athletes will further support their confidence and competitive edge throughout the season.
“Jordan has always embodied the values that drive Under Armour—resilience, focus, and a deep desire to elevate others,” said Sean Eggert, SVP of Global Brand Marketing at Under Armour. “His expanded role with the National Junior Tour allows us to make an even greater impact at the grassroots level, giving young athletes access to world-class competition, mentorship, and performance innovation as they grow in the game.”
The partnership comes at a time of significant momentum for both Spieth and the National Junior Tour, coinciding with the launch of several new features for the 2025–2026 season, including an expanded tournament schedule and enhanced player development programming. These initiatives further solidify Under Armour’s position as a key driver in elevating junior golf through innovation, accessibility, and athlete-first design.
