“Golf is a sport of precision, discipline and excellence, which are qualities we bring to BDO clients every day to help them thrive,” said BDO USA CEO Wayne Berson. “A three-time Olympian, standout college athlete, and rising star on the LPGA Tour, Albane is a highly accomplished golfer whose values – both on and off the course - align with ours at BDO. We are inspired not only by her worldclass dedication, but also by her commitment to raise funds for autism research through the Alexis for Autism foundation she started with her brother.”

In addition to wearing BDO’s logo during tournament play, Valenzuela will join the company during various personal and promotional appearances throughout the year. BDO will also support the Alexis for Autism foundation, whose focus and purpose are to organize golf events to raise funds for associations, foundations and medical research for autism. To date, the charity has raised over $300,000 for autism-related research.

“On its surface, golf looks like an individual sport, but no one thrives alone,” Valenzuela said. “Success in sport and in business requires the collective efforts of a full team, and I felt a strong connection with the team at BDO. Their people-first culture and purpose to help people thrive, every day, is the type of culture I’m excited to be part of and represent.”
