As Sam Bennett finished up his last few weeks of college golf at Texas A&M, it seemed likely that his strong performance at the Masters would lead to some new sponsorship possibilities.
On Monday, T-Mobile made it public that they would be working with the fifth-year senior from Madisonville, Texas.
Bennett won't be wearing a T-Mobile logo at the SEC Championship this week, which is his first college start since finishing T-16 at the Masters, or in the upcoming NCAA playoffs.
Instead, the deal calls for him to post about the brand on social media and show up at events to talk about it.
A T-Mobile representative said, "Bennett will help T-Mobile's efforts in the college athletics and NIL spaces by talking about how the Un-carrier helps him stay in touch with friends ,
Family while he's away competing." Bennett will do this through branded social posts, event appearances, and other ways.
Nobody said anything about how much money Bennett is getting. Luke Feldlam, whose company Advance NIL works with college players,
Told Golf Digest that Bennett could get deals in the six- or even seven-figure range in the future because of the attention he got at Augusta National.
