Wireless provider Consumer Cellular has named two-time PGA Major champion Zach Johnson as its newest brand ambassador. The Iowa native joins World Golf Hall of Famer Fred Couples as an official brand partner.
Mr. Johnson, who recently turned 50, continues to compete at golf’s highest levels and will play a mixed schedule this year across the PGA TOUR and PGA TOUR Champions. He is set to compete in two major championships in 2026 — the Masters Tournament and The Open at Royal Birkdale.
“Zach represents everything we admire — discipline, consistency and continued competitiveness,” Consumer Cellular CEO Ed Evans said in a recent company news release. “At Consumer Cellular, we value making smart decisions that deliver real value. Zach understands that mindset both on the course and off.”
Born in Iowa City, Mr. Johnson was raised in nearby Cedar Rapids and is an alum of Drake University in Des Moines.
He is best known for his victories at the 2007 Masters Tournament and the 2015 Open Championship. He has earned 12 PGA TOUR titles and at age 49 he recorded a top-10 finish (T8) at the 2025 Masters. He also is a regular at the John Deere Classic and serves on its board of directors. He also is a regular at the John Deere Classic, held in Silvis, Illinois, and was the 2017 champion of the Quad Cities’ only PGA event. Mr. Johnson also continues to serve on the JDC Board of Directors.
“Whether I’m traveling on Tour or spending time at home, staying connected with my family and my team is my top priority,” Mr. Johnson said in the release. “Consumer Cellular has built an amazing reputation by believing in treating people right, day after day, year after year. That kind of long-term commitment to customer service and value makes this partnership a perfect fit for me.”
Mr. Johnson’s ambassadorship extends the company’s campaign, “Save Your Green for the Greens.” The marketing campaign highlights how wireless savings can help fund the lifestyle priorities of active adults, including time on the course. He will appear in marketing campaigns, event activations, and digital programming throughout 2026.

The wireless company said it is steadily increasing its presence in golf through tournament activations, player partnerships and a targeted outreach to golfers age 50+ — a demographic that remains both highly engaged in the sport and highly value-conscious in household spending.
