Christo Lamprecht’s journey from top-ranked amateur to the professional ranks has reached another defining moment: earning his PGA Tour card. After a season marked by resilience, precision, and breakthrough performances, including his first professional victory at the Pinnacle Bank Championship, the 24-year-old South African has officially secured his spot on golf’s biggest stage.
“This is kind of the moment you dream about growing up. Standing over a shot with everything on the line and trusting yourself to pull it off.”
“I wasn’t sure if it would drop or just hang on the edge, but watching it fall and hearing the crowd erupt was unreal. This win is a huge step forward in my career, and I’m proud how I stayed patient, trusted my game, and allowed everything to come together at the right time.”

"This season has been about learning and proving I belong at the highest level,” said Lamprecht. “Every tournament taught me something, whether that be how to stay patient, how to trust my process, or how to handle pressure when everything is on the line. Earning my PGA Tour card is validation of that work, but it’s also a reminder that the journey doesn’t stop here. I’m motivated to keep improving, keep competing, and make an impact on the biggest stage in golf."
Lamprecht’s rise has been nothing short of impressive. Before joining the Under Armour roster last year, he quickly made headlines as the low amateur at the 2023 Open Championship and capped his collegiate career at Georgia Tech as a three-time All-American, 2024 ACC Player of the Year, and the No. 1 amateur in the world. His transition to professional golf has been defined by the same qualities that fueled his amateur success: discipline, adaptability, and an unwavering competitive edge.
All season long, Lamprecht leaned on Under Armour’s cutting-edge golf apparel and footwear to perform under pressure. His tournament kit featured UA Playoff Polos and UA Drive Pants, both engineered for unrestricted movement and all-day comfort with advanced moisture-wicking and 4-way stretch. Completing the look were UA Drive Pro golf shoes, built with the revolutionary 3-layer Swing Support System™ co-developed with golf biomechanist JJ Rivet. This innovation delivers the grip, stability, and energy transfer needed to maximize power and precision from tee to green.
"Having the right support makes a huge difference at this level.”
“Under Armour gives me gear I can trust and a team that believes in me, which lets me focus on my game. Heading into my first season on the PGA Tour, that confidence is everything. I know I’m prepared for what’s next.
