Welcome to Team Bonk Victor Kornienko!!!
**January 9th, 2026**
We're absolutely pumped to announce that Victor Kornienko, the incredibly talented young golfer from Russia, has officially joined Team BONK!
At just 12 years old, Victor is already a force on the junior golf scene. This rising star has racked up an impressive list of victories, including champion titles in US Kids events across Europe and beyond. From dominating the US Kids Antalya Turkish Open with a scorching -6 to claiming runner-up in the US Kids European Championship after a thrilling playoff in Scotland, Victor's skill, determination, and passion for the game shine through every swing.
He's also proven himself in high-level competitions like the Under Armour Junior Tour World Championship (Top 8 finish) and multiple first-place wins in Russian youth tournaments. And let's not forget his record-setting performance in the US Kids Parent/Child European Championship—champions with a tournament-best -6 alongside his dad!
Victor's drive to excel and his ambitious spirit make him a perfect fit for BONK Golf. We love supporting athletes who attack the course with flair, focus, and that extra bit of moxy—and Victor embodies all of that and more.
As part of Team BONK, Victor will be rocking our premium performance headwear on the course: sweat-stain resistant, moisture-wicking hats with built-in tee slots and magnetic ball markers designed to keep distractions at bay so he can stay locked in and play his best.
