Former Ohio State Golfer and LPGA Tour member Rachel Rohanna Virgili will join NBA star Shaquille O’Neal in a series of online commercials promoting the EPSON Tour (formerly the Symetra Tour).
After giving birth to her daughter, Rachel lost her LPGA Tour card and had to go back to the EPSON Tour to requalify. She finished the year inside the top 10 money list which earned her a return to the 2022 LPGA Tour.
O’Neal the former NBA superstar and television regular has 24 million followers on Instagram, 15.6 million on twitter and 9.2 million on Facebook as well as his own reality show called “Shaq Life.”
Since announcing the entrance of EPSON as the main sponsor of the LPGA’s developmental tour, total purses have increased substantially and the cost of entry to events has been cut in half.
Rohanna said,
“It always blows my mind that people have never heard of the EPSON Tour. To have someone like Shaq with as many followers as he has and to actually be enthusiastic about it, I think it’s great for everyone. It’s going to be huge.”
