KPMG LLP, Monday announced a sponsorship agreement with American professional tennis player Jessica Pegula.
As part of the agreement with KPMG, Pegula will feature the KPMG logo on her racquet bag throughout the tennis season. This week Jessica is competing at the Australian Open at Melbourne Park, the first Grand Slam tournament in the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) 2025 season.
Pegula’s career accomplishments include most recently reaching the Grand Slam final at the 2024 U.S. Open. Currently ranked No. 6 in the world, she achieved a career-high WTA singles ranking of world No. 3 in October of 2022, and ascended to the top of the doubles’ rankings, claiming the No. 1 spot in September of 2023. With six singles titles and seven doubles titles to her name, Pegula has also represented Team USA in two Olympic Games at Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024.
“Jessica demonstrates a commitment to excellence on and off the tennis court and we are thrilled to welcome her to the KPMG family,” said Shawn Quill, National Sports Industry Leader for KPMG. “We believe Jessica is the ideal brand ambassador to help KPMG expand into the sport of tennis as we broaden our sports sponsorship portfolio.”
“KPMG has been such a great supporter of elevating women’s sports over the years and growing the game is something I am really passionate about too. I’m excited to join Team KPMG as the firm expands into women’s tennis and look forward to what we will achieve together,” said Pegula.
Off the court, Pegula is also a member of the WTA player board, and an entrepreneur as the founder of her own line of skincare products, Ready 24. She was named to Forbes' "30 Under 30" in 2024 in recognition of her strong business acumen and innovative spirit. Through the charitable organization, A Lending Paw, she is also actively involved in efforts to rescue and rehome dogs in need as well as train service dogs to support individuals with disabilities.
KPMG’s U.S. sports sponsorship portfolio includes investments in the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, KPMG Women’s Leadership Summit, brand ambassadors on the PGA and LPGA Tours, title sponsorship of Stephen Curry’s UNDERRATED Golf Tour and other strategic initiatives that effectively reach business leaders.
