Scottie Scheffler Signs Ambassador Partnership With Huntington National Bank

World number one Scottie Scheffler has signed an ambassador partnership with Huntington National Bank as part of the brand’s expansion in golf.

The leading name in the men’s game, Scheffler has history with Huntington having first had a partnership with C. Malcolm Holland III and Veritex Community Bank, known as the Golf Bank of Texas, during his early days in golf.

Holland III is now part of Huntington and the new partnership with Scheffler is designed to help the brand grow in golf as well as expand it’s presence in the American’s home state of Texas.
