Fresh off a top four finish at USDGC and run to the finals at the Disc Golf Pro Tour Championship, Drew Gibson has signed a lifetime deal with Infinite Discs that guarantees to payout “millions of dollars,” the player told Ultiworld Disc Golf.
As part of the deal with Infinite, who has sponsored Gibson since late 2019, Gibson will also receive a brand new line of discs designed by the California pro. The still unnamed brand will be wholly owned by Gibson’s company, Gibson Industries, LLC, and manufactured and distributed in partnership with Infinite Discs. Details of disc sale royalties and other bonuses that could raise Gibson’s compensation, which is uncapped, were not shared with Ultiworld.
The new sponsorship agreement with Infinite does not alter or affect Gibson’s existing arrangement through Infinite Discs that allows him to throw a mixed bag of discs from various manufacturers, or his putter-only endorsement deal with EV-7. Gibson’s signature line of discs will function similarly to Paul McBeth’s signature line through Discraft. A release date for the Gibson line of discs has not yet been announced, but is targeted for the first quarter of 2022.
“I have to thank DGPM Group for help brokering the deal, removing stress, and making both parties successful,” said Gibson.
DGPM Group is a new agency helmed by Stephen Scansaroli that aims to provide contract and sponsorship negotiation, branding, management, social media services, and more to disc golf professionals. In addition to Gibson, DGPM’s current client list includes Eric Oakley, Connor O’Reilly, and Trevor Harbolt.
