Hambric Sports

What Hambric Sports does

Hambric Sports is a privately held professional golf representation agency founded in 1977 by Rocky Hambric and headquartered in Dallas, Texas, with additional offices in London and Dublin. The firm provides full-service career management to professional golfers competing on the PGA Tour, LIV Golf, DP World Tour, and LPGA, including sponsorship and endorsement negotiation, tournament scheduling, brand development, and media relations. It operates on a commission-based model, taking a percentage of clients' playing income and endorsement contracts with corporate partners such as Nike, Adidas, Titleist, Callaway, TaylorMade, FootJoy, and Omega.

The agency's roster is anchored by elite-tier talent — Scottie Scheffler, Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson, and Si Woo Kim on the men's side, with the Højgaard twins (Nicolai and Rasmus) and emerging players rounding out the DP World Tour and developmental pipeline. Beyond traditional representation, Hambric Sports has expanded into two adjacent lines: a women's division (including LPGA player Morgane Metraux) and a dedicated NIL division targeting top amateur and collegiate golfers such as Preston Stout, the World No. 1 amateur. The firm claims representation of 23 Major Champions and 6 World Golf Hall of Fame members across its history.

The company is small (1-10 employees) and remains wholly founder-controlled with no disclosed external investment, institutional capital, or public-market activity. Distribution is entirely direct via agent-led relationships, and the firm maintains a selective, low-volume roster approach rather than a scaled talent agency model. No proprietary technology, digital platform, or data product underpins the business; competitive advantage rests on relationships, reputation, and decades of accumulated credibility in the professional golf ecosystem.
