TaylorMade signs top-ranked junior Asterisk Talley to endorsement deal

TaylorMade has a stable of staff players that includes Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Nelly Korda and Brooke Henderson, and on Wednesday, the Carlsbad, California-based company added 16-year-old Asterisk Talley to that group.

While the rules governing amateur athletics have changed in recent years, allowing many athletes to be paid for the use of their name, image and likeness (NIL), financial details regarding the partnership between Talley and TaylorMade were not disclosed.

Talley, a native of Chowchilla, California, is currently the top-ranked player in the Girls division of the Rolex AJGA Rankings, having won the 2025 AJGA Fortinet Stanford Invitational and ANNIKA Junior Invitational titles. Last season, she competed in the U.S. Women's Open (where she finished 44th) and was on the United States team that narrowly lost the Curtis Cup, a competition between the best female amateur golfers from America against the best players from Great Britain and Ireland. However, in that event, Talley shined, going 2-1-1 in match play, including a singles win over Lottie Woad, who is the top-ranked female amateur golfer in the world.

“As a company that’s always looking to the future, we prioritize cultivating relationships with top-tier youth talent, and Asterisk certainly fits that mold. Her accomplishments at such a young age are remarkable. But just as importantly, she’s a phenomenal young woman of standup character. We couldn’t be more excited about our partnership with Asterisk; she has a tremendously bright future ahead both on and off the course.” - Eddie Erkmanis, TaylorMade Vice President of Sports Marketing
