January 8, 2018 – Peter Millar has announced new additions to their team of brand ambassadors in 2018: Branden Grace, Si Woo Kim, Chesson Hadley, Hudson Swafford, Chez Reavie, Scott Brown, Sam Saunders, Johnson Wagner, Shawn Stefani, Matteo Manassero, Davis (Dru) Love IV, Chris Wilson and Brett Quigley. These professional golfers will represent Peter Millar’s lifestyle brand in new campaigns and will wear the product both on the golf course during competition and off-course. These new brand ambassadors join PGA Tour and Fedex Cup Champions Brandt Snedeker and Bill Haas as well as Bobby Wyatt, as representatives of Peter Millar.

The addition of new professional golfers to the brand’s roster and their expansion of presence on tour reflects the continuing evolution of the brand’s diversity, design and quality that the company makes every effort to improve. The players are from across the globe including Hudson Swafford, from Sea Island, Georgia which boasts a rich golf tradition and a long standing history with Peter Millar; to Chez Reavie from the southwest United States; Si Woo Kim from South Korea and Matteo Manassero from Italy. Each of the new ambassadors share the company’s values of character and integrity as well as the same desire to become the best they can be in their skill.

“The game of golf has been a foundation for Peter Millar and these tour players will showcase the lifestyle and continued evolution of our products,” said Scott Mahoney, Chairman & CEO. “We are fortunate to have an incredibly talented group of professionals eager to wear our clothing, and we look forward to growing our presence with an impactful year on tour.”

“Peter Millar has been a brand I have admired for a long time. They’ve conquered function and fashion, with first class service. I could not be more proud to be a brand ambassador for them on the PGA Tour,” said Hudson Swafford.

“Growing up in Raleigh, I have seen the brand grow first-hand and always wanted to wear Peter Millar on the course. I could not be more excited to represent a local business with international reputability on the PGA Tour,” said Chesson Hadley.

“I am honored to be a part of the Peter Millar family. Peter Millar exemplifies the finest in men’s apparel for on and off the golf course. I look forward to teeing it up with Peter Millar,” stated Scott Brown.

“I am thrilled to have the opportunity to wear Peter Millar on the course starting in 2018. From their crown sport performance line to their collegiate product (go Hokies), I love the look and feel of the product and the ability to wear what I feel comfortable in both on the course and off,” said Johnson Wagner.

Callaway Golf – Amazing hat-trick for the brand at European Tour thanks to Branden Grace

Branden-Grace

December 16, 2014 – Callaway Staff Professional Branden Grace has continued the manufacturer’s winning streak on the European Tour courtesy of a convincing seven-shot victory in the Alfred Dunhill Championship at Leopard Creek Country Club, South Africa.

Following wins by Henrik Stenson and Danny Willett in consecutive tournaments, the 2014 Race to Dubai finale and first event of the 2015 European Tour season respectively, the 26-year-old went wire-to-wire with rounds of 62, 66, 72 and 68 to join his Callaway stable mates in the winners’ circle, finishing 20-under par and completing the company’s hat-trick.

Brande-Grace-bagPowered by a full bag of Callaway and Odyssey product, the South African earned his fifth European Tour victory and became the first golfer to secure both Alfred Dunhill titles. Commenting on his win, Branden Grace said: “One of the main things this week has been the driving; I just put a new driver in the bag in Dubai and that’s been the key this week.”

“It’s been a phenomenal week. It’s special to win it wire-to-wire, more so because it’s in front of a local crowd. It was a pretty flawless round today and the perfect way to finish off an incredible tournament.”

Neil Howie, President and Managing Director of Callaway Europe, Middle East and Africa, said: “We are delighted that Branden used the new Big Bertha Alpha 815 Double Black Diamond Driver to such devastating effect this week and became the first player globally to win with it in the bag.” 

“With the ink barely dry on our previous two victories, it’s fantastic to be celebrating both Branden’s fifth European Tour title and the third consecutive Callaway win on The European Tour.”

Grace opened his account as a Callaway Staff Professional in 2012 fresh from The European Tour Qualifying School by becoming just the sixth player in history to win their first two European Tour events in back-to-back tournaments.
