Mr. Leishman was voted Rookie of the Year on the PGA Tour in
2009, which was highlighted by a runner-up finish to Tiger Woods at
the BMW Championship. He captured his first PGA Tour victory at the
Travelers Championship in 2012 and finished tied for 4th with Tiger
Woods at the 2013 Masters Tournament. In 2015, Mr. Leishman
recorded his first European Tour victory at the Nedbank Golf
Challenge and logged four top-10 finishes including a playoff loss
in The 2015 British Open Championship at the Old Course of St.
Andrews in Fife, Scotland.
Roy Israel, President and CEO of NAM stated, “The PGA Tour truly
has national and international appeal that is both select and
prestigious. NAM’s sponsorship of Marc is an ideal way to not only
reach an exclusive audience who watch and play golf in the U.S. and
around the world, but also to be associated with a sport of great
tradition.”
Last year, Mr. Leishman withdrew from the 2015 Masters when he
learned that his wife, Audrey, had suffered from acute respiratory
distress syndrome. It forced him to suspend his schedule and take
time off to look after his wife and two young sons, Oliver and
Harvey. She miraculously recovered and Mr. Leishman has resumed his
career on the PGA Tour. Additionally, he and his wife recently
started a foundation to provide funding for local children’s
hospitals in Virginia where they reside. The Begin Again
Foundation, in recognition of Audrey’s near death experience and
incredible recovery, supports others faced with difficult
challenges.
“I admire Marc as a competitor and the incredible dedication he
has shown toward his family in light of Audrey’s illness. He has
unquestioned integrity which is a hallmark of our business. We are
very proud to be a partner with Marc, and I truly wish him much
success in the tournaments ahead,” Mr. Israel said.
