Kao Signs Sponsorship Deal with Professional Golfer Miyuu Yamashita
Supporting an athlete achieving success internationally
Kao Corporation has signed a sponsorship deal with professional golfer Miyuu Yamashita.
Starting with her first tour victory in 2021, Yamashita has achieved the golf “queen” rank for two consecutive years in 2022 and 2023, and her ability and future prospects are exceptional. Yamashita, not satisfied with her outstanding national achievements, has a strong desire to work hard and take on challenges worldwide. Her ambition aligns with Kao’s, which has adopted the Global Sharp Top Strategy and aims to grow globally. Yamashita and Kao’s similar objectives lead to this sponsorship deal.
Yamashita will compete in the AIG Women’s Open 2024 beginning August 22, 2024, at St Andrews’ Old Course, wearing a cap with a “Kao” patch. Please wish Yamashita continued success.
