ZAMST Signs Sponsorship Deal with Pro Golfer Ryo Katsumata
ZAMST, a brand renowned for its sports support and care products developed by Japan Sigmax Co., Ltd., has officially signed a sponsorship contract with professional golfer Ryo Katsumata. The agreement marks an exciting chapter for both parties, blending ZAMST's commitment to athletic performance with Katsumata's promising career trajectory.
Background of Ryo Katsumata's Career
Ryo Katsumata's sporting journey began rather differently. Until the 8th grade, he was focused on baseball, but persistent knee injuries forced him to abandon the sport. It was only after his father encouraged him to try golf that he found his true passion. Katsumata transitioned to golf smoothly and enrolled in Saitama Sakae High School, known for its competitive golf team, solidifying his commitment to the sport.
In 2013, during his senior year, Katsumata achieved a remarkable feat by winning both individual and team championships at the Kanto High School Championship, leading his team to victory at the national level that same year. His success continued as he clinched the title at the Saitama Open in 2016, where professional golfers also participated.
After turning professional in 2017, Katsumata steadily built his reputation in the golfing community. His persistence led him to earn his first seed in 2023 and, in 2025, he celebrated his first tour victory at the Panasonic Open, achieving this milestone at 29 years old—a testament to his dedication and determination. ZAMST recognized Katsumata's work ethic and competitive spirit, which significantly influenced their decision to partner with him.
Future Collaboration
The collaboration between ZAMST and Ryo Katsumata is not just about boosting competitive performance; it is also about providing value to all golfers aiming to enhance their game. ZAMST's products, designed to support athletes' needs, will play a crucial role in Katsumata's quest for excellence on the course.
Ryo Katsumata's Personal Statement
In a statement regarding the partnership, Katsumata expressed his enthusiasm: "I am extremely happy to join forces with ZAMST. To maintain peak performance while traveling for tours, proper conditioning and physical care are essential. I have grown fond of their insoles, as well as the compression gear and socks since incorporating them into my routine during the off-season. I intend to leverage ZAMST's support to elevate my game to the next level. Thank you for your continued support!"
