PGA TOUR Star Sam Burns Signs with PAYNTR Golf as Newest Brand Ambassador

January 28, 2026

Portland, OR — PAYNTR Golf, the fastest-growing performance footwear brand in golf, today announced the official signing of PGA TOUR standout Sam Burns as the brand’s newest ambassador, further strengthening its presence among the game’s elite players.

Burns, a multiple-time PGA TOUR winner and Ryder Cup competitor, is currently wearing the Moving Day model, part of PAYNTR Golf’s Classic Collection, on TOUR. This silhouette was engineered for lightweight stability, traction and all-day performance under competitive conditions.

“This partnership reflects our continued commitment to TOUR validation and performance at the highest level,” said Mike Forsey, Co-Founder and President of PAYNTR Golf. “Sam Burns is one of the most consistent and technically sound players on the PGA TOUR, and his trust in our footwear speaks volumes. He represents the modern professional golfer who demands precision, comfort and reliability every week.”

Known for his calm demeanor and repeatable swing, Burns brings immediate credibility to PAYNTR Golf’s growing roster of TOUR athletes. His decision to compete in PAYNTR Golf footwear reinforces the brand’s commitment to delivering performance-driven shoes engineered to meet the demands of elite competition.

“Footwear plays a huge role in how you move, how you feel, and how you perform over four days,” said Sam Burns. “PAYNTR Golf’s footwear gives me the stability and comfort I need without feeling restrictive. It’s a clean, classic look, but the performance is what really stands out.”

Coming on the heels of PAYNTR Golf announcing Min Woo Lee joining its TOUR roster, Burns also stands alongside Jason Day, who signed with PAYNTR Golf in 2024 and helped launch the brand’s Classic Collection, which includes the Eighty Seven SC, Match Day, Moving Day and All Day models. PAYNTR Golf will continue to expand its TOUR presence and product offerings throughout the 2026 season.

“Our goal has always been to engineer footwear that performs at the highest level of the game,” said Michael Glancy, Co-Founder and Creative Director of PAYNTR Golf. “Having athletes like Sam Burns choose to compete in our footwear validates the work our team puts into every detail, from stability and traction to fit, feel and styling.”
