Ulibarri's first sponsorship was with Discraft in 2006. In 2008, he left Discraft and signed for 3 years with Innova discs until 2011. He joined Prodigy Discs in 2013[18] as part of their first class of sponsored players and represented prodigy for 6 years before returning to Discraft Discs in 2019, this time as the Team Captain.[4] In 2020 Ulibarri joined Team Ledgestone,[19] a disc golf retailer which handles his merchandising and which also runs the largest event on the Disc Golf Pro Tour, the Ledgestone Open in Peoria, Illinois.[20] His other sponsors include Bushnell Corporation[21] and Züca, a disc golf cart manufacturer. Ulibarri can be seen on Jomez Productions, a YouTube channel specializing in professional disc golf coverage and entertainment, as part of the commentary team and is regularly featured in their content along with Nathan Sexton and Jeremy Koling.

On the launch of the Ulibarri Leadership Institute, Paul Ulibarri said, "I have been blessed to be able to play the sport that I love for so long at a high level, and as I continue my journey as a player, am thrilled to share what I've learned throughout my career and help continue growing the sport. The Ulibarri Leadership Institute will be collaborating with some of the most talented names in sports to deliver unmatched instruction and career development services."[23] [citation needed] In March 2022, Paul Ulibarri launched his charity organization, The Ulibarri Leadership Foundation,[24] which offers scholarships for young disc golfers to attend college.
