Big cheers for Javier Calles, who's making the leap to professional golf this summer!!!📈

It's one of those feel-good moments that's been floating around, especially after he dropped the news during an interview 🎤 with CANAL+ at The Players Championship. Imagine that, soaking in the big tournament vibes and then sharing such a milestone. Pretty cool, right?

Javier's roots are in Madrid, Spain, where from a very early age he has been making jaws drop and people say: "Yep, he's got something special." Although always staying close to his origins at the Club de Campo Villa de Madrid, the Spanish and Madrid Federation, in 2021 he decided to take his talent to the US and is currently studying at Stetson University.

The guy's resume is a little like a roadmap of where hard work can take you. From being a PING all-South Region Honors to National Champion, Javier's been all about setting high goals and then smashing them. Turning pro? Just the next box to tick off on his list.

Javier's amateur days were nothing to sneeze at. He's got wins and solid finishes under his belt, from topping the charts at a Pro Tour Event to consistently showing up and performing at amateur tournaments. At Stetson, he is the guy to beat!🔥

Now, as he gears up to join the pros, the buzz is real. Friends and those who've watched him climb the ranks are throwing all our support behind him.

Javier stepping into the pro scene isn't just about golf. It's about sticking to your dreams, even if you're not the name everyone knows... yet. As he gets ready to represent not just Stetson University or Mizuno USA, but all the hopes tied to his journey, it's a reminder of what passion and perseverance look like.💪🏻

So, here's to Javier as he takes on this new chapter🥂. May the fairways be wide and the putts short. Go get 'em, Javi! 🦍🦍🦍
