The Albany Gazette - Facet Welcomes Three-Time PGA Tour Winner Ben Griffin as Newest Brand Partner

WEST PALM BEACH, FL AND NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / November 4, 2026 / Facet, the pioneer in subscription-based financial advice, today announced that PGA Tour winner Ben Griffin has joined the company as its newest brand ambassador. The partnership launches as Griffin returns to Los Cabos, Mexico, to defend his title at the World Wide Technology Championship, where he set the tournament scoring record in 2025.

Griffin has been outspoken about the difficult financial realities facing young golfers, as well as how his early career was impacted by those challenges. After a standout college career at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Griffin turned professional in 2018 and spent his early years on developmental tours, where his earnings rarely covered the entry fees, travel, caddies, and other costs associated with turning pro. After leaving the sport in 2021 and becoming a mortgage loan officer, he returned to the game later that year with financial support and mentorship from a sponsor. He went on to earn status on the Korn Ferry Tour through Q-School in 2021, then played well in 2022 and parlayed that success into a PGA Tour card for the 2023 season. In 2025, he won three times on the PGA Tour, finished among the top 10 in two major championships, made the U.S. Ryder Cup team, and climbed to No. 8 in the Official World Golf Ranking.

"One thing people don't always realize about professional golf is how challenging the financial side can be, especially early in your career. You're investing in yourself without knowing when, or even if, that investment will pay off. Going through that experience taught me the importance of having a plan, staying disciplined, and surrounding yourself with the right people. Those are lessons that have stuck with me as my career has progressed, and they're a big part of why I'm excited about this partnership with Facet. We share a lot of the same values when it comes to preparation, making thoughtful decisions, and keeping the bigger picture in mind," said Griffin.

"Ben's story reflects the reality that a lot of people live quietly. They have the ambition and talent to live the life they've always wanted, but financial uncertainty pushes those dreams into the future," said Shruti Joshi, president and chief operating officer at Facet. "His story is proof that good financial advice doesn't just help you plan for the distant future; it unlocks your focus to help you live your best life now."

"We built Facet around a simple idea: Your finances should help you live the life you want today, not keep you from it," said Anders Jones, CEO and co-founder of Facet. "Ben understands what it feels like to begin living your dream only to face financial obstacles that threaten to derail it. His journey is a powerful reminder that success isn't just about how much you earn or achieve; it's also about having the confidence and support to make the decisions that are right for you and your lifestyle. We're excited to partner with Ben to show people what's possible when they have the right financial partner in their corner."

As a Facet ambassador, Griffin will draw on his deep personal connection to the company's mission and share his own journey with balancing personal finances and performing at the top level of the sport.

Griffin will debut Facet's logo on his collar during the World Wide Technology Championship on November 4th as he defends his title. Keep an eye on Facet's social channels throughout the season to see inspirational and collaborative content.

The partnership was developed and secured in collaboration with Facet and Athlete-Driven Worldwide, with both leading ongoing activation. Griffin is represented by global sports marketing agency SPORTFIVE.
