RALEIGH, N.C. — Johnnie-O, the premium lifestyle apparel brand rooted in West Coast style, East Coast tradition, and Midwest grit, today unveiled Jake Knapp’s apparel scripting for the 2026 Genesis Invitational held at the iconic Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles, Calif.
Knapp, who was born in Costa Mesa, Calif., will kick off the tournament by paying homage to his local roots through Johnnie-O’s extensive sports licensing portfolio. On Thursday, Knapp will wear the UCLA logo, celebrating the program where he was a standout player. For Friday’s second round, he will rep his hometown NHL team, the Anaheim Ducks.

Knapp enters the week following a hot start to the 2026 PGA Tour season. In his first four starts, he has notched three top-10 finishes, highlighted by a tie for fifth at the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines.
“When we discussed the partnership with Jake, one of the things he wanted to highlight was his support for his hometown teams,” said Dave Neville, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Johnnie-O. “With our strong licensing business, including the NFL, MLB, NHL, and NCAA, the Genesis Invitational was the perfect tournament to highlight his hometown teams, the UCLA Bruins and Anaheim Ducks.”
In January 2026, Johnnie-O announced the signing of Jake Knapp and J.T. Poston to multi-year contracts. They joined a growing group of ambassadors in golf, including PGA Tour player Scott Stallings, instructor Parker McLachlin, former caddie Jim “Bones” McKay, golf comedy group St. André and YouTube creators Peter Finch and Danny Maude.
