May 18, 2017 – Crest Link, the leading golf apparel company in Asia, continues to expand its presence in Europe and this season has signed one of the emerging professionals of the Long Drive panorama, the Serbian Ilija Djurdjevic.

Djurdjevic is a multi-faceted golfer who is triumphing on Long Drive as champion of the Portugal Long Drive European Tour Championship in September 2016 and been included in the Long Drive World Series 2017, competing among the best hitters in the world as Joe Miller, Tim Burke, Lucas Dornan and Maurice Allen.

However, it also plays well in the 18-hole golf, something not so common among Long Drive specialists, competing in tournaments of the PGAs of Europe, Gambito Golf Tour and Catalunya Pro Tour. Riding between Spain and Serbia, where he trains and offers clinics and teaches private lessons as a PGA professional, he often travels the world to compete.

For Ilija Djurdjevic and Crest Link this year is a great opportunity because within the Long Drive World Series (LDWS) they will participate in events broadcast live on Sky TV. He has already competed in Dubai, where he finished sixth, and the next event will be the 8th of July in London.

“When we contacted the Crest Link distributor in Europe they found it interesting. The brand has already dress golfers, so why not to dress a Long Drive player who already has a European title and is in the LDWS,” says Ilija Djurdjevic.

Before reaching the agreement, the Serbian had the opportunity to test the Crest Link clothes and he was delighted with the quality and the performance. “In the pictures you can see how elegant, confortable and sporty I’m at the same time,” he continues. “I am dress head to feet with polo shirts, windproof, pants, shorts, belt, socks…”.

What features would you highlight of Crest Link’s clothing?“The important thing for a Long Drive player is that since I have to turn my body a lot in the swing, I do not have to feel the clothes. And in the movement Crest Link does not jerk me or notice any resistance, so it’s perfect.”

“As for breathability its garments are really cool. On the golf course, where you have to be four or five hours, with any other clothes you have to put it to wash because odour, instead with Crest Link I think it could take a couple of days because it is kept in good condition”.

And about colours…“To play 18 holes I try to dress the most classic possible: polo-shirt and long trousers normally, black or grey, or mixing colours. For Long Drive, more intense colours. Crest Link has strong, eye-catching colours that I like, such yellow or orange. The range is very complete.”

“I think Crest Link has a lot of future here in Europe, because it is at the same level of other big brands in the industry, but with a better value,” concludes Ilija Djurdjevic.
