FORT MYERS, Fla., May 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Evolution Development Group, Inc. (EVO) today announced its much anticipated signing of the company's first athlete and professional golfer Steven Kupcho. Steven was selected after a nationwide search.

Every golfer being considered to be supported by EVO is put through a comprehensive assessment process that includes both physical and mental analysis as well as examining their performance and recovery capabilities.

"We are thrilled to sign our first athlete after spending months searching for that ideal EVO candidate," said EVO's CEO John Norman. "Golf is a highly competitive sport and also a very lucrative business when you combine tournament winnings with endorsements. Lifetime earnings for elite golfers can be in the hundreds of millions of dollars. EVO's unique business model, where investors share in the success of all EVO athletes, will surely attract investors and sports fans wanting to participate in the commercial side of professional golf."

EVO plans on putting Kupcho through a rigorous and extensive athletic development program that focuses on accelerating his progress so he can be competing on the PGA Tour in the shortest amount of time.

"EVO's a way to present an opportunity to guys like me that believe we have the talent to make it to the next level but don't have the tools the guys at the highest level have," said Steven Kupcho. 

Norman says that real life examples can show that a golfer's path to the PGA Tour can be accomplished with a lot of hard work and a little bit of luck. Sighting the recent break-out performance of Will Zalatoris, who is not an EVO athlete, but who finished 2nd in his rookie appearance at the 2021 Masters and took home over $1.2 Million. Zalatoris was ranked 1,514th in the world in 2019, 483rd in 2020 and this year he skyrocketed to 27th in the world and is earning significant prize money.

"Zalatoris' achievement this year shows anything is possible and knowing that when an EVO athlete wins money, the investors get a piece of those winnings, will make watching Kupcho with the goal to advance to the PGA Tour even more exciting," said Norman. 

The athlete development company also unveiled its elite team of experts to include Performance Enhancement Specialist Dr. Sean Drake and Dr. Ara Suppiah, Medical Analyst on NBC Golf Channel and one of the world's most trusted medical pioneers in professional sports.

In his role as Chief Medical Advisor, Dr. Ara Suppiah, founder of the Functional Sports Medicine Institute will focus his expertise and techniques towards EVO athletes to maximize their health and vitality to enable sustained high performance. He has worked with many professional athletes and Olympic athletes including Brooks Koepka, Bubba Watson, Dustin Johnson, Lydia Ko and many others.

EVO is currently establishing an elite team of partners, advisors and investors who are all vested in mentoring the future champions across golf, motorsports, MMA/Boxing, and more.  When an athlete signs onto team EVO, they are accepting the coaching and financial stability they need which will allow the athlete to focus solely on winning.  In exchange, EVO investors receive a percentage of the athletes' future winnings and sponsorships.
