BDO USA Announces Billy Horschel as First U.S. Golf Brand Ambassador
CHICAGO, IL – BDO USA, LLP, one of the nation’s leading professional services firms, has named six-time PGA TOUR winner and professional golfer Billy Horschel as the firm’s first golf brand ambassador. In a game that mirrors the complexity of business, Billy will help connect sport and golf enthusiasts to the firm’s services and core purpose to help people, clients and communities thrive.
“We believe Billy personifies the traits that make BDO a leader in our industry and resonate with our middle market clients: a competitive spirit, the relentless pursuit of excellence and a practiced and strategic approach to our respective crafts,” said Wayne Berson, CEO of BDO USA. “Billy also exemplifies the people-first attitude of our firm through his leadership on the issues of food security and representation as well as his personal values of hard work, continuous learning and candor.”
BDO will support Billy’s efforts with Feeding Northeast Florida foodbank, his interests in growing the game with the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) Billy Horschel Junior Championship and his leadership of the diversity-focused Advocates Pro Golf Association (APGA) Tour Billy Horschel Invitational. The Horschel Invitational, in its inaugural year, helps further the mission of the APGA Tour by making golf a more accessible and diversified sport, providing a chance for all interested athletes to excel.
“BDO approaches business the same way I approach the game of golf,” said Horschel. “Not only has the firm demonstrated impressive growth through its commitment to building a leading middle market organization, its executive team is also dedicated to creating a sustainably inclusive culture. These ideals align with my work inside and outside the ropes, and I’m thrilled that our values and interests in diversity and community empowerment converge and will complement and reinforce one another.”
The three-year partnership will include BDO logo placement on Horschel’s left collar of golf apparel and outerwear during all worldwide professional golf tournaments, appearances and activities beginning at the PGA TOUR’s Sentry Tournament of Champions in January 2022.
