West One Loans sponsors golfer Matt Wallace

Specialist lender West One Loans has announced a sponsorship deal with prominent professional golfer Matt Wallace (pictured), who will be playing a combined schedule across the world-renowned PGA Tour and the DP World Tour this year.

Wallace secured his PGA Tour status for a fourth season last year by finishing in the top 125 on the FedEx Cup standings in 2022. The PGA Tour is broadcast for more than 5,700 hours globally across 220 countries annually.

The DP World Tour, where Matt is a four-time winner, hosts various golf tournaments across the globe, spanning the Middle East, Asia, and Europe. It is also the managing partner of Ryder Cup Europe, the body which, alongside the PGA of America, administers The Ryder Cup.

Wallace carried the West One logo on his hat for the first time at this week’s WM Phoenix Open at TPC Scottsdale, which began on Thursday, February 9.

“When the opportunity arose for West One to sponsor Matt, we jumped at the chance,” Danny Waters, chief executive at Enra Specialist Finance – the parent company of West One Loans, said in a post announcing the deal. “Not only is he from just down the road in Pinner, but he is a prodigious international talent, and we are extremely keen to help one of our own.

“Matt has competed at the highest level including at the US Open, the PGA Championship, The Masters, played alongside the likes of Tiger Woods at The Open Championship, and is on the brink of Europe’s Ryder Cup team.”

Waters also related that he knew Wallace very well on a personal level and “his tenacity, hard work and talent are evident in everything he does.”

“Those are qualities we mirror, admire, and exhibit here at West One day in, day out,” he continued. “Working with Matt will elevate the visibility of the West One brand across the globe and further illustrates the ambitions we have as a business to expand on all fronts. We are looking forward to working closely with Matt and his team and wish him all the best for the coming season.”

Wallace, for his part, said he was delighted to be linking up with West One and representing Waters and his team.

“We’re from a similar area and West One is a great success story of innovation, strong growth, and expansion based on solid principles, which is something we can all aspire to, whether it’s in business or in sport,” he stated. “I’m grateful for West One’s support and am proud to be wearing their logo on my hat on both the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour.”
