Joseph Bramlett Joins Eastside Golf as Brand’s First PGA Tour Athlete
Published
After announcing the signing of LIV Golf’s Eugenio Chacarra, Eastside Golf has signed Joseph Bramlett as its first PGA Tour athlete.
Bramlett, a Stanford alum and long-time PGA Tour competitor, will wear Eastside Golf apparel and the brand's now-iconic Swingman logo on his left chest at all professional competitions. His debut repping the brand came at the PGA Tour's Corales Puntacana Championship on April 17.
“Being a mixed kid in the game of golf always made me feel a bit different, and what Eastside Golf stands for deeply resonates with me. They’re pushing forward to make the game more inclusive and representative, which is something that I am equally passionate about,” said Bramlett. “On top of that, I feel like Eastside Golf’s clothing gives me a little more swagger on the course than I’ve had in the past. As someone who's always been pretty buttoned up and traditional, Eastside Golf does a great job of blending style and performance, making me feel even more confident and authentic in my game.”
Since launching in 2019, Eastside Golf has worked to shatter stereotypes, reimagine what golf can look like, and earn praise for its collaborative efforts with Jordan Brand and Nike Golf.
“Joseph embodies everything Eastside Golf stands for – authenticity, excellence, and a commitment to open the doors of golf to all,” said Earl Cooper, Eastside Golf’s Co-Founder and CEO. “As our first Eastside Golf Athlete playing on the PGA Tour, Joseph will help us showcase that golf is truly everyone's game while representing our brand at the highest level of competition.”
Bramlett’s decorated career began with a national championship win during his first year at Stanford. He earned his PGA Tour card straight out of college in 2010 and has since overcome numerous setbacks, including injuries, to regain his place among golf’s elite. Most recently, he delivered a third-place finish at the 2024 Puerto Rico Open, carding 21-under.
“Joseph's story of perseverance in the game and his genuine connection to our mission makes this partnership so authentic and powerful,” said Olajuwon Ajanaku, Eastside Golf’s Founder and Creative Director. “Having our Swingman logo on the PGA Tour represents a new chapter for our brand and further validates our impact on the game. Joseph will help us continue to break barriers and demonstrate that you can bring your authentic self to golf.”
Bramlett joins a growing roster of Eastside Golf athletes, including the aforementioned Eugenio Chacarra and promising collegiate players such as Bailey Davis (University of Tennessee), Matthew Vital (Temple University), and Kihei Akina (BYU).
