Nicklaus Companies is proud to congratulate Jack Nicklaus™ Brand Ambassador Neal Shipley, who has officially earned his PGA Tour card for the 2026 season following an outstanding year on the Korn Ferry Tour.
Outfitted in Jack Nicklaus™ Apparel since his impressive low amateur finishes at the 2024 Masters and U.S. Open, Shipley’s consistency, composure, and competitive fire throughout the 2025 season earned him a spot inside the Top 3 of the Korn Ferry Tour Points List, officially securing his promotion to the PGA Tour to compete with the top players in the world.
The 24-year-old former Ohio State Buckeye captured two victories this season, The Ascendant at TPC Colorado and the LECOM Suncoast Classic at Blue Hills Country Club, while finishing inside the top 10 on multiple occasions. With those wins, Shipley also broke into the top 100 of the Official World Golf Rankings earlier this year, marking another milestone in his rapid rise through the professional ranks.
“It’s been an incredible honor to represent the Jack Nicklaus™ brand from my college days to the pros and now the PGA TOUR,” said Shipley. “The performance, quality, and timeless style of the apparel make it easy to ‘Wear the Bear’ with pride!”
In 2024, while donning the Jack Nicklaus™ Collection at the Masters and U.S. Open, Shipley earned Low Amateur honors at both events, a feat also achieved by fellow Buckeye, Jack Nicklaus, in 1960. Following his progress to the professional ranks, he became an official Jack Nicklaus™ Brand Ambassador through a joint sponsorship with Nicklaus Companies and long-term apparel partner, Perry Ellis International.
Throughout his Korn Ferry Tour season, Shipley has worn a combination of Jack Nicklaus™ Black Label and Blue Label apparel collections, displaying performance, comfort, and timeless style on and off the course.
The Jack Nicklaus™ Collections are available online through both Nicklaus Companies and Perry Ellis’s e-commerce sites shop.nicklaus.com and golfapparelshop.com.
The Nicklaus lines are also carried at domestic clubs and retailers via the RepSpark B2B platform, as well as at Nicklaus Design golf courses around the world.
