The sponsorship will also be a powerful commercial platform for Rahm interact with Santander customers through hospitality and meet and greets.

Ana Botín, Banco Santander’s executive chair, said: “Jon is a top athlete, and his character and values align totally with our own. I remember playing together at a pro-am in Spain a few years ago when, after finishing the round, he spent two hours signing autographs for young fans - demonstrating his qualities as both a professional and person. As a Spaniard who has competed and succeeded globally, including in the USA where we have a strong presence, we are incredibly proud to support Jon and look forward to many years of success together."

Jon Rahm said: “It is an honor to join the Santander family and become an ambassador for the global company. With a rich history in Spain, a large global presence, and a deep commitment to excellence, this partnership is a great fit, and I look forward to working with the team at Santander for many years to come.”

This collaboration will complement Santander’s other global sponsorships, such as the Scuderia Ferrari and League of Legends (LOL) alliances, with the goal of strengthening the emotional bond between Santander and its stakeholders, leveraging Santander’s brand value and communicating the bank’s mission and values.
