AGX Drives Into Professional Golf with A.J. Crouch

AGX Freight, Jacksonville-based freight transportation, and logistics service provider announced today its first-ever partnership in professional golf with the signing of a multi-year deal with Korn Ferry Tour player, A.J. Crouch.

AGX’s partnership with Crouch is the first sponsorship of a professional athlete for the company. Crouch will wear the AGX logo on his left shirt sleeve in tournament play this season, beginning this week at The Bahamas Great Exuma Classic. In addition to representing AGX as a player ambassador, Crouch will host the Children’s Safe Passage Charity Golf Tournament, which was started by AGX Founder & CEO, Mike Williams in 2010.

“Partnering with A.J. is a great honor for AGX” said Williams. “One of A.J.'s greatest strengths as a performer is driving accuracy, which is something we can relate to as a transportation service organization. A.J.'s relentless pursuit of success on the course in many ways embodies the attitude our AGX team members have in service to our customers. We’re excited for A.J. this season, and the opportunities this partnership will deliver for AGX as we expand our transportation and logistics network.”

Crouch is returning to his second full season on the Korn Ferry Tour, having qualified by making the top 75 on the 2022 tour points ranking. This week marks the one-year anniversary of his first top-10 finish, firing a career-low 65 in the final round of the Great Exuma Classic, earning him a tie for 6th place. A.J. was a two-sport star at Bolles High School, earning All-Sports recognition for basketball and golf. Before turning pro, Crouch earned SEC Conference Academic All-American from 2014 through 2017 for the Florida Gators.

“I’m thrilled to represent AGX this season, and the hundreds of men and women in their network dedicated to moving America, “ said Crouch. “It was important for me to find a partner that was not only making a positive impact in the business world but also committed to the northeast Florida community. It’s a great honor to serve as Host for the Children’s Safe Passage Charity Golf Tournament, an event with a history of raising hundreds of thousands of dollars to protect children from all forms of abuse.”
