New platform offers exclusive experiences like private Pro-Ams to fuel athlete funding
Charleston, SC: Carry Athlete Investing Inc. (“Carry”) has officially launched its sponsorship marketplace web app, revolutionizing the way up-and-coming professional golfers secure funding.
For “early-stage” professional golfers, the financial burden of competing at the highest level is immense, often requiring up to six-figure investments annually. Carry’s new platform provides an innovative solution, allowing fans and companies to contribute directly to an athlete’s journey while gaining exclusive access to exclusive experiences. Supporters can now participate in unforgettable moments such as caddying for a pro in tournament practice rounds or playing in a private Pro-Am alongside rising stars.
“This is the culmination of four years of obsessing over the world of developmental tour golf and the financial challenges athletes face in making it to the top,” said Donnie Dotson, Founder of Carry. “We built Carry to create a sustainable funding model for the next generation of golf stars by turning fans into active supporters and giving brands a direct, engaging way to back talent. This new marketplace reflects all the lessons we’ve learned since our inception in 2021, including how to make the marketing and management of sponsorships for up-and-coming talent more efficient for everyone.”
With seamless transactions powered by Stripe, Carry makes sponsorships and experiential opportunities more accessible than ever. Companies looking to align with the sport’s future stars can leverage the platform to create authentic, high-impact brand partnerships. And individual supporters can transact directly via each athlete’s profile page with just a few clicks before entering their payment info.
In addition, Carry announced a partnership with Ryan French and Monday Q Info to increase awareness about all athletes in the marketplace. The Company looks forward to partnering with more media outlets in 2025.
The marketplace is now live at https://app.carry.golf/, and golfers, brands, and fans are encouraged to sign up and explore the platform’s offerings.
