Audemars Piguet recently introduced LPGA golfer Belén Mozo as the company’s newest brand ambassador. The AP Golf Ambassador Team represents the brand’s commitment to golf by gathering an array of exceptional players together. Mozo joins the team’s illustrious pro-golf roster, which already includes Christie Kerr, Morgan Pressel, Rory McIllroy, Lee Westwood, Graeme McDowell, Ian Poulter, Miguel Angel Jiménez, Darren Clarke and Anthony Kim.

“I’m honored and excited to join a team of the world’s best golfers and athletes and the Audemars Piguet family,” said Mozo.

Born in Cadiz, Spain, Mozo started playing golf at the age of 8. She is a graduate of the University of Southern California and was a four-time NCAA All-American. Mozo enjoyed great success in her amateur career, becoming the first player since 1972 (the same year Audemars Piguet’s iconic Royal Oak was launched) to win both the Women’s British Amateur Championship and British Girls Amateur Championship the same year. In 2010, at the age of 21, Mozo started her professional career at the US Women’s Open, and soon thereafter tied for eighth at the LPGA Final Qualifying, earning her spot on the LPGA tour. She is also a member of the Ladies European Tour. In her rookie year of 2011, her best finish was a tie for fifth at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship by P&G.
