Jorge Campillo turns professional
and signs with IMG
NEWS RELEASE FROM IMG
Jorge Campillo announced today that he has turned professional and signed with the global sports management company, IMG.
Jorge’s decision to turn professional follows his successful international amateur career. Spanish Amateur Championship Winner and 9-time NCAA tournament winner as a student with Indiana University (new record for an IU student), he has also been a member of the Palmer Cup Team for the last 3 years and has consistently ranked amongst the top-3 amateurs in the world during the last year.
Jorge said “I’m thrilled to play golf as a professional and make my debut in the BMW International Open which one of the best events on the European Tour. It is a dream come true. I’m also very happy that IMG showed strong interest in me and knowing the experience they have, I think it is the best decision for my future. Of course, I would like to thank Mike Mayer, my coach at Indiana University, and the Spanish Golf Federation for all of their help over the past few years.”
Guy Kinnings (Director of IMG Golf EMEA), whose team represents some of the world’s very best golfers including Tiger Woods, Sergio Garcia, Vijay Singh, Padriag Harrington, Camillo Villegas and Retief Goosen, said “Jorge has shown himself to be an exceptional talent and a player that IMG will be proud to manage. We look forward to using IMG’s resources in helping him get his professional career underway and will do all that we can in the long term.”
Mark Booker (Client Manager, IMG London), who will be managing Jorge added “Jorge has an outstanding amateur record and has played golf at the highest level internationally. It is the right moment for him to become a professional and our goal is help him achieve the same level of success as a pro, that he enjoyed as an amateur.”
Gorka Guillen (IMG Golf, Spain) concluded “We have been following Jorge’s career for the past few years and there is no doubt that both his ability as a golfer ,as well as his personality, made him stand out from other amateurs and are the main reasons why we were so keen to sign Jorge.”
On his debut at the BMW International in Munich, Jorge explained “I am very grateful to Marco Kaussler and BMW for giving me the chance to play such a prestigious event. To have my debut alongside such great players is a real honour for me and I can’t wait to be there in two weeks time.”
