Welcoming the Kotze Siblings to Bonk Academy: Ivan and Zoe Bring Talent, Drive, and Heart to the Game
Bonk Golf is thrilled to announce two exciting new additions to the Bonk Academy: brother and sister, Ivan and Zoe Kotze from Osprey Point. These young golfers are already making waves in junior golf with their impressive results, strong work ethic, and inspiring attitudes. We’re proud to support their journeys both on and off the course.
Meet Zoe Kotze

Zoe has been competing since August 2025 and has quickly established herself as a podium regular across four different junior leagues and Drive, Chip and Putt events. Her consistent performances highlight not only her growing skill but also her commitment to playing with excellence and a positive attitude that glorifies God.
Zoe’s Goals:
• Maintain straight A’s in school
• Compete on her high school team starting in fifth grade
• Ultimately earn a spot as a Lady Vol golfer at the University of Tennessee and compete on the LPGA Tour
Favorite Bonk Gear:
Zoe loves her 250 Bonk hat paired with the Stars and Stripes drip ball marker. “I am proud to be American,” she shares. The combination perfectly matches her patriotic spirit and on-course style.
Zoe’s favorite verse: “He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.” — Isaiah 40:29
Meet Ivan Kotze

Ivan started playing golf at just four years old and began competing in February 2026. Despite being one of the youngest in his fields, he has already claimed top-of-the-podium honors in four different junior tours. He also made an immediate impact in Drive, Chip and Putt, earning the #1 qualifier spot in the 7-9 division at age 6.
Ivan’s Goals:
To be number one in everything he does. As Ivan puts it, “The sky is the limit, and I never give up, even if it seems impossible to most.” His long-term dreams include playing at Auburn—or going straight to the PGA Tour if the opportunity arises.
Favorite Bonk Gear:
Ivan’s go-to is the Bonk Youth Deep Focus hat in navy blue. He loves the color and how comfortable it feels during long days on the course.
Ivan’s favorite verse: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 4:6-7
Siblings, Shared Passion, Big Dreams
Both Ivan and Zoe call Osprey Point their home course, where they spend countless hours sharpening their games together. Their blend of talent, faith, family support, and relentless drive makes them standout representatives for the next generation of golfers. Whether it’s Zoe’s focus on academics and long-term development or Ivan’s fearless pursuit of being the best, these two embody what Bonk Golf is all about—playing with focus, confidence, and joy.
We can’t wait to watch their continued growth and celebrate their future successes. If you’re looking for hats and gear that perform as well as they look (and that these rising stars approve of), check out the Bonk 250, the Youth Deep Focus, and our full collection.
Welcome to the Bonk Academy, Ivan and Zoe! Keep swinging, keep believing, and keep inspiring.
