Yorkton native Kade Johnson announced that he is turning pro and will be heading to his first professional events in less than a week
When he does step onto the course for the first time as a pro, he will be sponsored by the local business in Yorkton.
Rob Kozak, owner of RE/MAX Blue Chip Realty, said that they will be sponsoring Johnson for the next three years of this professional career.
“It was really great opportunity. I have known Kade for many years and saw this growth and development and we are just super happy to be able to support him,” he said.
For Kozak he said it was a no brainier for them to sponsor Johnson.
“There are not a lot of pro golfers that come out of Saskatchewan, and not Yorkton at all. I know how crucial it is for these sponsorship for Kade to go and chase his dreams and not worry about finances is super important so he can just focus on golf.”
Kozak said that the sponsorship is purely financial and they will be sponsoring the front logo on his shirts.
Johnson’s first professional event will be Prince Edward Island as he is set to golf the Prince Edward Island Open August 23 to 29 in Brudenell and then the Brudenell River Classic from August 30 to September 5.
