The new Axi agreement differs from most broker-backed golf projects because it covers an international tour rather than one player or tournament.

KCM Trade, for example, signed Australian professional golfer Enshan Hooi as a sponsor for his 2025 tour. The agreement was announced in May 2025 and followed the broker's involvement with the Medway Corporate Golf Cup in Australia, according to previous Finance Magnates coverage.

Other trading platforms have spread their spending across several sports. In January 2026, eToro became the exclusive trading and investment partner of the BWT Alpine Formula One Team and signed agreements with four French football clubs for the 2025/26 season. The platform spent $10.7 million on sports sponsorships during the 2024/25 season.

Axi said it is the first online trading provider to partner with a professional golf tour. That description is the broker's own and excludes earlier agreements between trading firms and individual golfers, golf academies or standalone tournaments.

Axi Builds on Manchester City Sponsorship

Axi entered sports sponsorship in 2020 through a multi-year agreement with Manchester City. The deal coincided with the broker's rebrand from AxiTrader and gave it advertising and digital rights connected to the Premier League club.

In March 2023, the broker extended the Manchester City agreement and added sponsorship rights covering the club's women's team. The financial terms and full length of that extension were not made public.

Axi has since worked with Manchester City players on campaigns for its trading products. One campaign used the club's players to promote Axi Select, the broker's capital allocation program.

The broker has also developed football relationships outside England. Its reported sponsorship portfolio includes Brazilian club Esporte Clube Bahia and Spain's Girona FC, where Axi has operated as an official online trading partner for Latin America. Manchester City defender John Stones has appeared in Axi campaigns as a brand ambassador, FinanceMagnates.com reported earlier.
