Newrez LLC (“Newrez”, the “Company”), the national mortgage
lending and servicing organization, proudly announced today its
first professional golf partnership with rising golf star and U.S.
Air Force veteran Kyle Westmoreland.
Newrez’s partnership with Westmoreland signifies the Company’s
first sponsorship deal with a professional athlete. Westmoreland
will proudly sport the Newrez logo on the chest of his golf apparel
while playing on the Korn Ferry Tour, though the partnership in
fact goes far beyond cross-promotion. While Westmoreland’s talent
as a rising star certainly piqued sponsorship interest from Newrez,
it was Westmoreland’s commitment and service to his country that
solidified the Company’s decision to pursue the partnership.
“To have an extremely talented professional athlete and
decorated U.S. Air Force veteran like Kyle represent Newrez is an
incredible honor,” said Baron Silverstein, President of Newrez. “As
a Company, we consider this partnership a hole-in-one and eagerly
await the new opportunities that this partnership will create for
Newrez to further its commitment to supporting our nation’s brave
military service members and veterans in new ways.”
Newrez, as a national lender and servicer, is committed to
supporting veterans and active military members through various
avenues including career recruitment efforts, employee resource
groups, military lending education and VA loan offerings as well as
pillar of the Company’s giveback initiatives through Newrez NOW,
its employee-driven community investment program.
“We could not be happier to be part of the Newrez team. Their
dedication to serving both military and civilians falls perfectly
in line with what we are trying to accomplish through the game of
golf,” said Westmoreland. “Golf is great but positively impacting
the lives of others means so much more. Thank you, now let’s take
this partnership to the PGA TOUR!”
During his collegiate golf career at the U.S. Air Force Academy,
Westmoreland won four college tournaments, earned All-Honors and
was named the U.S. Air Force Academy’s Male Athlete of the Year in
2014. Before pursuing his professional golf career, Westmoreland
fulfilled his five-year military service commitment.
After five years of active duty serving as a U.S Air Force
captain, Westmoreland hit the green professionally, making history
as the first U.S. Air Force Academy graduate to qualify for the
U.S. Open in 2021. After advancing through the Korn Ferry Tour
Qualifying School on his first try, he joined the Korn Ferry Tour
full time in 2022.
Westmoreland is set to represent Newrez in several upcoming Korn
Ferry Tour events this summer, including the BMW Charity Pro-Am
(June 9-12), Wichita Open (June 16-19), Live and Work in Maine Open
(June 23-26) and TPC Colorado Championship at Heron Lakes (June
30-July 3).
