Garsen Announces Kaitlyn Papp Budde As Newest Brand Ambassador
Delray Beach, FL April 13, 2026 — Garsen, the golf brand known for innovative putter grips, today announced the signing of professional golfer Kaitlyn Papp Budde as its newest brand ambassador. The partnership marks an exciting new chapter for both Garsen and the rising EPSON Tour player, who brings a decorated amateur career and a growing professional profile to the collaboration, following her win in Lake Charles, Louisiana, at the Lake Charles Regional Sports Authority Championship.
Papp Budde, a University of Texas alumna and two-time First Team All-American, turned professional in June 2021 and has steadily built her reputation on tour. Her accolades include earning low amateur honors at the 2020 U.S. Women’s Open and representing the United States in international competitions, including the Junior Solheim Cup, Junior Ryder Cup, and Arnold Palmer Cup.
“We couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome Kaitlyn to the Garsen team,” said Bernerd Garsen, Founder and CEO of Garsen. “She exemplifies everything our brand stands for. Her dedication, excellence, and unwavering commitment to competing at the highest level prove she belongs among the top female players in the world. Kaitlyn has a bright future ahead of her on tour, and we are proud to be by her side every step of the way.”
Papp Budde expressed equal enthusiasm about the new partnership.
“I am so excited to join the Garsen team and represent them out on tour,” said Kaitlyn Papp Budde. "I've been using Garsen grips on my putters for about 12 years now. I started using them when I was 16 and I've just loved the feel and performance ever since then. When I first started using them I primarily used a Claw style grip, which the Garsen ULTIMATE worked really well with. Eventually I changed my grip style to be more traditional but kept the grip because I liked that it was a little bit bigger and took the wrists out of my stroke. And I've kept it ever since becuase nothing could beat the confidence it gave me with my putting."
"This partnership means a lot to me, and I’m looking forward to a long and successful journey together,” said Papp Budde.
The partnership takes effect immediately, with Papp Budde set to represent Garsen at upcoming tour events throughout the season.
