Published: January 10, 2025 Press Release

melin, the makers of the world’s most premium headwear officially welcomes Jake Knapp, PGA Tour player and rising star in the golf world, to the list of accomplished athletes and ambassadors on the melin Family roster. Jake’s progressive style, Southern California roots and embodiment of hard work make him a natural fit for melin’s ethos of progression, dedication and commitment to excellence. 

‘Our team put Jake on my radar a bit ago and as I’ve followed him on socials I was really drawn to his warm personality, dedication to his loved ones and his obvious passion for the game,’ said Brian McDonell, co-Founder and President of melin. ‘We aren’t a golf brand, we just love to golf and like to surround ourselves with likeminded, competitive yet compassionate, high integrity people and Jake really fits that mold. In getting to know Jake, he is just a really likable guy with an eye for fashion and incredible talent and work ethic. I love that his personal style is a bit more streetwear inspired and we share a lot of common interests off the course… and he really vibes with our team. We are extremely fortunate to have the privilege of welcoming him to the melin Family.’ 

Teaming up with Jake solidifies melin’s dedication to the golf category. It also represents more than a collaboration, it’s a statement on melin’s commitment to supporting athletes who embody the drive and determination to achieve greatness – in both their personal and professional lives. Off the course, melin is Jake’s lifestyle headwear of choice, complementing his grounded yet ambitious approach to life. 

‘I could not be more excited to partner up with melin. I’ve been wearing their hats for a long time so joining the team was a no-brainer,’ said Jake Knapp. ‘The quality of the product is what spoke to me in the first place, and after getting to know the team and seeing what they have in store coming up, I’m super pumped to be a part of that future.’ 

Jake joins a growing list of diverse athletes and ambassadors to represent the melin Family, a community driven by passion, performance and the pursuit of greatness. He’ll be surrounded by the likes of Ryan Sheckler, Steel Lafferty, Dylan Efron, Malcolm Stewart, John Hunter Nemechek, Michael Chandler, Louie Vito, Jordy Smith, Mark Healey and more.
