OKX Chief Marketing Officer Haider Rafique said: "Golf captivates people around the world, however, its reach can be magnified if we dare to think big about fan engagement, inclusivity and truly unique partnership activations that use Web3 to amaze and inspire. This is what we're shooting for with Majesticks GC, a top-tier team in the LIV Golf League that exemplifies our values and ambitions. We look forward to working with Majesticks on some very exciting things in the near future which will showcase our strengths."

The partnership will result in some amazing experiences for fans to go behind-the-scenes with us as we pursue our mission to make a difference both on and off the course."

We have worked with OKX previously through its sponsorship of Ian Poulter, and we're excited to leverage its creativity and Web3 technology experience to create some great fan-focused activations."
