Tom Morris, Jr. Wearing the Championship Belt.

Historically, the championship belt was also awarded to the winner of professional golf tournaments. Rodeo tournaments also award special belts, among other prizes.

More recently, starting with Aaron Rodgers, the "title belt" gesture has begun the leap to the major professional sports. Originally used by Rodgers during his time on the Green Bay Packers practice squad as a way to keep his teammates loose, it became known more as the Packers 2010 season progressed, eventually culminating with a victory. On the podium to receive the Vince Lombardi Trophy, Rodgers was presented with a replica Big Gold Belt by teammates, and in the following weeks, during a scheduled WWE Raw telecast, the Packers were honored with title belts from the WWE itself. In September 2011, after the Milwaukee Brewers clinched the National League Central title, Kameron Loe was seen sporting a replica WWE Championship "spinner" belt.
