November 5, 2026 at 10:12 a.m. Leng Becomes First NIL Member of WWT's Roster of Golf Ambassadors ST. LOUIS - World Wide Technology (WWT), a global technology solutions provider, today announced a new partnership with rising U.S. amateur star golfer Jay Leng Jr. Leng, the 21-year-old Stanford University junior will wear the WWT logo on his apparel at all PGA Tour and non-collegiate sanctioned events during this partnership, including this week at the PGA Tour's World Wide Technology Championship at El Cardonal Course in Los Cabos, Mexico. Leng becomes the eighth Golf Ambassador and the first to receive sponsorship via a Name Image and Likeness (NIL) agreement. "We are proud to welcome Jay Leng to the WWT Brand Ambassador Team," said Matt Horner, Executive Vice President, WWT. "From his success at Stanford to competing in the Walker Cup and finishing runner-up at the U.S. Amateur, Jay has already distinguished himself as an exceptional talent. His passion, humility and commitment to excellence align perfectly with WWT's core values, both on and off the course. We are thrilled to welcome Jay to our team, and we are excited to support him as his career continues to flourish." "I'm incredibly proud and excited to join World Wide Technology's team of global golf ambassadors, and it's a tremendous privilege to be the company's first NIL Ambassador," said Leng Jr. "When you see how WWT supports the amateur game through the St Andrews Links Collegiate, the professional game through the WWT Championship, and the future of the sport through organizations like the First Tee, it really puts into perspective what kind of company World Wide Technology is and the amazing people who are a part of it. I can't wait to tee it up in Cabo this week and kick off what I know will be a great partnership, both on and off the golf course." The partnership builds on the company's existing involvement in the world of golf, with sponsorships and activations across numerous PGA Tour events, highlighted by the World Wide Technology Championship at the Tiger Woods-designed El Cardonal Course at award-winning Diamante in Los Cabos, Mexico. WWT is also title sponsor of the Advocates Professional Golf Association (APGA) Tour's Player Development Program, in addition to their presenting sponsorship of the St. Andrews Links Collegiate and position as a proud partner of the Stifel Charity Classic presented by Compliance Solutions in their hometown of St. Louis, Missouri. Other WWT Golf Ambassadors include PGA Tour Champions star Billy Andrade and PGA Tour standouts Ben Griffin, Luke Donald, Austin Eckroat, Keith Mitchell, Taylor Pendrith, and Justin Suh. Leng is one of the most accomplished amateur golfers in the world and a growing force in collegiate golf at Stanford. A native of San Diego, California, Leng has established himself among the game's elite amateur competitors, highlighted by a standout 2026 season in which he captured the Western Amateur Championship, finished runner-up at the U.S. Amateur Championship and claimed the Men's Elite Amateur Cup title. His success earned him a place on the 2026 U.S. Walker Cup Team, representing the United States in international competition at Lahinch Golf Club in Ireland. Leng will make his second start in a professional event this week at the WWT Championship after teeing it up last month at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship.

PGA Tour Studios adds Brian Gordon as executive producer, head of live content. 27/10/2026 The PGA Tour announced Monday that Brian Gordon has joined PGA Tour Studios as executive producer and head of live content. He began with the Tour on Oct. 26 and reports to Luis Goicouria, EVP and General Manager, PGA Tour Studios. Gordon will lead editorial vision and creative execution across live programming produced by PGA Tour Studios. He will oversee live production for more than 4,000 hours of PGA Tour Live on the ESPN App, PGA Tour Champions and the Korn Ferry Tour, as well as recent additions including Marquee Group: Quiet Please and Betcast presented by DraftKings. He will also lead the Tour's live production strategy, which expanded in 2026 with PGA Tour Live coverage of The Sentry (Hawaii) and the FedExCup Playoffs across ESPN linear platforms. Gordon will work alongside Ryan Holcomb, who was named SVP and head of original content in September, to guide PGA Tour Studios' expansion across live and original programming. Gordon, a two-time Sports Emmy winner, has more than three decades of experience in sports production, broadcasting and media. He most recently was global head of programming and audience for Motorsport Network, overseeing a global team responsible for daily editorial, social and video content across its digital and social platforms. He previously was SVP and executive producer for the National Women's Soccer League, overseeing production of more than 300 live domestic, world and local broadcasts and managing relationships with CBS, ESPN and Prime Video, among others. He was an executive producer of the NWSL's first Prime Video docuseries, For the Win: NWSL, and helped drive the league's 2024 media rights agreement. Before the NWSL, Gordon was SVP of marketing and media for the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee, where he led production and operations for more than 80 hours of original and live-event programming for NBC, NBC Sports Network and the Olympic Channel. His earlier career includes production roles with NBC Sports, Indianapolis Motor Speedway Productions and ABC Sports, covering the Olympic Games, Super Bowl, Monday Night Football, Indianapolis 500, college football, horse racing and golf, including the PGA Tour, U.S. Open, The Open Championship and PGA Championship. The Tour continues to recruit for several senior leadership positions, including a chief financial officer, EVP of talent and culture, head of government relations and SVP of corporate development. Live competition is at the heart of how fans experience the PGA Tour, and we have a tremendous opportunity to continue raising the bar in how we bring it to them, says Goicouria. Brian brings extensive experience across sports broadcast and production, along with a strong track record of innovation. His leadership will help us continue to evolve our live product and bring fans closer to our players and the competition. The PGA Tour showcases the most compelling competition in professional golf, and live production plays an important role in how fans experience it, says Gordon. There is already a great foundation in place, and I look forward to working with the team to continue pushing the live product forward through great storytelling, innovative coverage and world-class execution. 05/01/2027.
