Celebrating James Nicholas' Groundbreaking Golf Championship Victory with Protiviti's Support

James Nicholas Secures First Victory

James Nicholas, Protiviti’s esteemed golf brand ambassador, has made headlines by winning his first professional golf tournament at the Astara Golf Championship. This prestigious event, sponsored by Mastercard, took place in Bogota, Colombia, where Nicholas showcased exceptional skill and determination throughout the weekend. His impressive rounds of 68-65-66-66 led him to a total score of -19, ultimately securing a well-deserved victory.

Entering the final round, Nicholas was tied for the lead, but faced a slight challenge as he trailed competitor Norman Xiong by one stroke with only three holes left. However, in a thrilling turn of events, Nicholas birdied the 16th hole and then clinched his win by making an eagle on the 18th, finishing with a two-stroke lead on the Fundadores Course at the Country Club de Bogota-Lagos.

This remarkable win not only highlights Nicholas's talent and hard work, but it also elevates him to third place on the Korn Ferry Tour points list, placing him in a strong position for his future as a professional golfer.

To commemorate this milestone achievement, Protiviti has pledged to donate 25,000 meals through its 'Birdies for Meals' initiative. This campaign, launched in 2021, has already made a significant impact by providing over 800,000 meals to communities in need. Protiviti believes in the power of community support and is thrilled that Nicholas’ victory will aid in their ongoing efforts to combat food insecurity.

Upon reflecting on his win, Nicholas expressed his gratitude: "I am so thrilled about this victory and especially to be able to share it with everyone at Protiviti. Their partnership has been fantastic over the past year, and I am excited that this win will provide 25,000 meals through the Birdies for Meals program."

Nicholas, who has achieved remarkable success in college golf as a six-time winner and two-time Ivy League Player of the Year at Yale, chronicles his journey in professional golf through various social media channels. He openly shares the highs and lows of his pursuit to reach the PGA Tour. His journey of professional growth aligns well with Protiviti’s commitment to developing its people and nurturing career development.

Joseph Tarantino, Protiviti’s president and CEO, praised Nicholas for his outstanding performance at this year's Astara Golf Championship. He emphasized the firm's pride in supporting Nicholas as he ascends to new heights in his golfing career, as well as their commitment to supporting all employees on their professional journeys. "We are excited to commemorate this win by helping food-insecure communities, contributing 25,000 meals through our Birdies for Meals initiative," stated Tarantino.
