Seeding golf’s next generation of global talent, TaylorMade has announced NIL partnerships with two rising stars: Lev Grinberg and Louis Klein.
Grinberg, a promising 17-year-old Ukrainian golfer, has been impressing since he first picked up a club at the age of five. Currently ranked No. 13 in the Golf NIL High School Boys Rankings and 105th in the World Amateur Golf Rankings, Grinberg made history as the second-youngest player to make the cut on the DP World Tour at 14. Last year, the future Arkansas Razorback showcased his skills on the professional stage, finishing T37 at the 2024 Open de France.
Klein, 15, is also no stranger to headlines. At 13 years old, the Czech golfer became the youngest player to make the cut on the Challenge Tour. Klein, who represents the Czech Republic's National Team internationally, has had an impressive start to 2025 with wins at the inaugural ProDreamUSA UAE Open and Junior Dubai Desert Classic, where he set a course record with a 9-under 63.
The equipment manufacturer took to Instagram on Monday to highlight both athletes in individual posts, announcing Grinberg as their newest NIL athlete and welcoming "prodigy" Klein to Team TaylorMade.
These new partnerships further elevate TaylorMade's impressive roster of top juniors. Last year, the company signed AJGA No. 2 Miles Russell and England’s Kris Kim—both top 5 in the Golf NIL High School Boys Rankings.
