Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG), has agreed a three-year partnership with top-ranked professional golfer Yuka Saso, extending until the end of the 2027 golf season.

Saso, 23, has established herself as a leading global talent. Specifically, she won her first major championship at the 2021 US Women’s Open at The Olympic Club during her rookie LPGA season. She clinched the championship again in 2024. A two-time Olympian, Saso represented both the Philippines to honour her mother at the Tokyo 2020 Games and then represented Japan at the 2024 Paris Games to honour her father.

Saso said: “I’m thrilled to partner with MUFG for the next three seasons. As one of the most trusted global financial institutions, their commitment to empowering a brighter future aligns perfectly with my own goals. Their support will be invaluable as I continue to grow in my career.”

Saso became the first Filipino-born major champion in golf history after her US Women’s Open victory.

“We are excited to join Yuka’s journey as she continues to rise in the world of professional golf,” added Kevin Cronin, CEO and Regional Executive for MUFG Americas. “This partnership reflects MUFG’s dedication to investing in the next generation of diverse talent and promoting the growth of women’s sports on a global stage.”

Through this sponsorship, Saso will feature MUFG’s logo on her apparel, representing the brand across her tournaments. Additionally, she will engage in a variety of MUFG’s business and brand initiatives, showcasing the company’s commitment to supporting athletes who inspire excellence both on and off the playing field.
