Shina Kanazawa's Historic Achievement

On September 14, 2025, Shina Kanazawa, a professional golfer affiliated with our company, achieved a remarkable milestone by securing her first victory on the Japan LPGA Tour at the prestigious "Sony Japan Women's Golf Championship." This tournament, held in her home region of Ibaraki, marked a significant accomplishment in her nine-year journey since turning professional in 2017. Kanazawa clinched her victory through a playoff, showcasing her resilience and determination.

Having been a professional golfer for nine seasons, the 2025 season was pivotal for Kanazawa. She had already come close to victory on two occasions, finishing tied for second and third. These near-misses only fueled her drive, and her performance at the major event in Ibaraki proved to be the breakthrough she had long sought.

Our company recognized Kanazawa's potential and dedication early in her career, and we began our sponsorship in 2018, shortly after she turned professional. By 2020, we had become her main sponsor, supporting her through her journey in the competitive landscape of women's golf. This victory, after years of perseverance, not only made Kanazawa proud but also filled our entire team with immense joy and pride. Her commitment to rigorous practice and improvement has culminated in the realization of her dream.

Securing this title also awarded Kanazawa a tour seed for the next three years, which is a critical factor for any professional golfer’s career. It allows her to compete in top-tier events, further solidifying her status as a prominent player in the sport.

In alignment with our corporate vision of "Envisioning a Future Together," we continuously strive to support our athletes and clients. We believe that fostering talent and potential leads to mutual growth and success. As Kanazawa prepares for the next stage of her career following her first victory, we are excited to accompany her on this journey and look forward to her continued progress and achievements in the sport.
