ECCO Golf – Nanna Koerstz Madsen becomes first danish LPGA Tour winner at Honda LPGA Thailand

March 14, 2022 – ECCO Golf ambassador, Nanna Koerstz Madsen, has made history this weekend after becoming the first Dane to win on the Ladies PGA Tour following her playoff victory at the Honda LPGA Thailand.

Koerstz Madsen enjoyed a strong year in 2021, and had been searching for a breakthrough victory on the LPGA tour in 2022.

The two time Olympian started the day on 21-under-par, after carding three fantastic rounds of 65, 64, and 66, to give her a one shot lead going into Sunday’s final round. She then shot a steely 67 on Sunday in Thailand, to book her place in a playoff and a chance to secure her first LPGA Tour title.

Wearing ECCO S-Three, Koerstz Madsen triumphed on the second playoff hole at Siam Country Club, draining a 15-foot eagle putt to secure the title.

“It’s amazing, it’s a dream come true. It was a really crazy day, a lot of good things, and it was actually fun playing in a playoff at the end. I’m really just excited to be standing with the trophy right now,” commented Nanna Koerstz Madsen.

Jesper Thuen, responsible for tour sponsorship at ECCO Golf, commented: “It’s absolutely fantastic to see Nanna triumph this week. It was a real rollercoaster watching the final round, but to watch Nanna eagle the second playoff hole to win was brilliant.

“We can’t wait to watch how Nanna kicks on after her maiden LPGA Tour victory, and to see an ECCO ambassador become the first Dane to win on that tour is wonderful. We are looking forward to giving her our continued support as she continues her ascent through women’s golf,” he added.

Nanna played women’s ECCO S-Three this week, a design which features hard-wearing ECCO leather uppers and a waterproof GORE-TEX construction that keeps feet dry and comfortable in all conditions.

In addition to Nanna Koerstz Madsen, ECCO Golf shoes are worn in competition around the world by Caroline Masson, Lydia Ko, Henrik Stenson, Erik van Rooyen, Doc Redman and Thomas Bjørn, among others.

ECCO Golf – Lydia Ko claims 17th LPGA Tour title at the 2022 Gainbridge LPGA

January 31, 2022 – ECCO Golf ambassador, Lydia Ko, kicked off her 2022 season in style, going wire-to-wire with a nail-biting one-shot victory at the Gainbridge LPGA.

Ko, who in 2021 returned to the winner’s circle at the LOTTE Championship, was in good form at the start of 2022 following a strong T10 finish at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions.

This week, wearing ECCO BIOM G3, Ko enjoyed four brilliant rounds of golf at what was a tough test in Boca Rio Golf Club, Florida. She kicked off her tournament with a blistering nine-under-par 63 on Thursday, and led the field from then on. A battling 72 on Saturday then set her up for a calm and collected three-under-par 69 on Sunday to win by one shot.

“I feel like it’s been much more consistent. Last year, even though I didn’t win on the LPGA at the end of the year, I put myself in contention quite a bit and I think when you keep knocking on the door you feel like at one point it’s going to open,” said Lydia Ko. “I tried to stay really patient out there and not get carried away on what everybody else was doing and just focus on my game, trying to make the lowest score I could,” she added.

Jesper Thuen, responsible for sponsorship at ECCO Golf, added: “It is brilliant to see Lydia at the top of her game and winning tournaments once again. Lydia is truly one of the world’s best, and this victory is a fantastic way for her to kick off her 2022 season. We are extremely excited to see Lydia on the world stage this year, and we look forward to giving her our continued support”, added.

Lydia Ko played in Florida wearing women’s ECCO BIOM G3, a design which features hard-wearing ECCO YAK leather uppers and a waterproof GORE-TEX construction that keeps feet dry and comfortable in all conditions.

The shoe is also highlighted by exceptional support and comfort via ECCO Golf’s renowned BIOM NATURAL MOTION last that combines low-to-the-ground stability with a glove-like fit that is built for natural motion.

In addition to Lydia Ko, ECCO Golf shoes are worn in competition around the world by Caroline Masson, Minjee Lee, Henrik Stenson, Fred Couples, Erik van Rooyen, Doc Redman and Thomas Bjørn, among others.

ECCO Golf – The BIOM H4, reimagined as Henrik Stenson and Erik van Rooyen create custom designs

January 6, 2022 – ECCO Golf ambassadors, Henrik Stenson and Erik van Rooyen, have each designed custom versions of the ECCO BIOM H4 shoe for the Spring-Summer 2022 collection – with the PGA Tour stars coming up with striking and unique designs that reflect their style and personalities on and off the course.

Paying homage to his nickname – and following on from the popularity of his S-THREE ‘Iceman’ design – Stenson has helped with the design of another ultra-cool ‘Iceman’ inspired shoe in an ice-cold blue and white colourway, with the ECCO logo emblazoned on the sole. Stenson’s special edition shoe also features his now trademark tag reading “Henrik Stenson The Iceman”.

“I’m very excited to once again join forces with ECCO Golf to create another ‘Iceman’ style,” commented Henrik Stenson. “ECCO Golf is synonymous with crafting fantastic shoes, and it’s super cool that they continue to give me the chance to help create my own styles.

“I have stuck with the icy-cool colours for my BIOM H4, and I really wanted to make it look like you’re walking with ice on the sole of your shoe, hence the bright white and blue colours. I can’t wait to get my hands on a pair and turn some heads out on the golf course.”

Van Rooyen, who has now established himself as a style icon out on tour, has designed a snazzy, eye-catching colourway. Erik has become known for pushing the boundaries of golfing attire, often sporting clothes that have never before been seen at a PGA Tour event.

He has continued to make his mark with his custom BIOM H4 shoes, creating a striking colourway with a black insole, white leather outer and a brilliant, patterned finish on the midsole. Hidden on the sole of the shoe is a blue and orange colour scheme that is bound to catch the eye. The design also pays homage to van Rooyen’s love of guitar, with a nod to guitar strings on the uppers of the shoe.

Commenting on his custom project, Erik van Rooyen said: “I am chuffed to be working alongside the guys at ECCO Golf to create an awesome custom shoe design. I really enjoy being different and innovative on the golf course, and I think my design really emulates that feeling for me. It’s awesome to be able to create my own shoe and BIOM H4 is such a great shoe to do it with.”

BIOM H4 demonstrates ECCO Golf’s dedication to innovation through a pioneering set of features and benefits, including:

  • ECCO FLUIDFORM Direct Comfort Technology; a ‘state change’ process that uses specialised fluid materials to form around an anatomical last, ensuring a finely-tuned balance of cushioning and rebound, while also creating a flexible and durable bond without the compromises common with stitched or glued assemblies
  • Natural motion, stability, and control with BIOM 2.0 technology that offers low-to-the-ground stability, anatomical support, and a glove-like fit
  • The innovative new ECCO MTN GRIP outsole has three different sections for stability and traction, ground penetration, and rotational support throughout the swing
  • The T.PU element wraps around the foot from the outsole to the midsole, providing stability while elevating the modern, premium design

Additional detailing includes:

  • Reduced seam construction for lightweight flexibility
  • X-TENSA INVISIBLE Technology links the sole unit’s T.PU blocks to the lacing system via internal enforcement for 360° stability and a freedom-fit.
  • A removable, washable Ortholite foam inlay sole provides long-term cushioning and superior breathability, plus the option of extra width when removed

ECCO Golf – Lydia Ko shoots a final round 65 to triumph at Saudi Ladies International

November 9, 2021 – ECCO Golf ambassador, Lydia Ko, was on sparkling form this week at the Royal Greens Golf and Country Club in Saudi Arabia, winning her second tournament of 2021.

Ko has been enjoying a stellar year, having triumphed at the LOTTE Championship in April before securing a bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympic games later in the season. The New Zealand star entered the week looking to build further on her 2021 successes.

Wearing ECCO BIOM G3, Ko started her week with a five-under-par 67, followed by a 70 on Friday. Ko then shot a blistering nine-under-par 63 on Saturday to tie the course record, taking a four shot lead into the final round.

On Sunday, Ko shot a bogey-free seven-under-par 65 that featured five birdies and an eagle to finish at 23-under-par, five shots clear of her closest competitor.

“When I was out there, I was just trying to play the best golf that I can. I knew a lot of the top names were playing really well and this is a golf course where there’s a fair amount of birdies, so I was just trying to have my fair share of them,” commented Lydia Ko.

“It helps going into the final round and you have a four shot cushion. I birdied the first hole, then holed two really good putts for par on two and three and I think that kind of set my momentum. I’m delighted to have won,” she added.

Jesper Thuen, responsible for tour sponsorship at ECCO Golf, added: “This week’s victory just adds to what has been an incredible year for Lydia, and it has been brilliant to see her winning tournaments across the globe.

“We are excited to see Lydia back in the winner’s circle, and we look forward to giving her our continued support as she hopefully returns to dominate again on the world scene,” added Jesper Thuen.

Ko played women’s ECCO BIOM G3 this week, a design which features hard-wearing ECCO YAK leather uppers and a waterproof GORE-TEX construction that keeps feet dry and comfortable in all conditions.

The shoe is also highlighted by exceptional support and comfort via ECCO Golf’s renowned BIOM NATURAL MOTION last that combines low-to-the-ground stability with a glove-like fit that is built for natural motion.

ECCO Golf – Stellar week for the ambassadors of the brand, carding two victories

August 27, 2021 – ECCO Golf has enjoyed a stellar week across the globe, claiming two tournament wins and a further four top-10 finishes.

In Japan, ECCO Golf Ambassador Sakura Koiwai continued her dominant year by winning the CAT Ladies Tournament at Daihakone CC, her fifth win of the 2021 season. Koiwai, wearing ECCO BIOM H4, carded a one-under-par 71 on the final day to finish two shots clear of second place. She now sits atop the money list and the points list on the Japan Ladies PGA Tour.

On Sunday, Thomas Bjørn stepped back into the winner’s circle, claiming his first Legends Tour title at the Irish Legends. Bjørn, sporting ECCO S-THREE, carded a sizzling six-under-par 65 on Sunday at Rosapenna Golf Resort to reach 15-under-par, before securing victory on the second playoff hole. Bjorn, commenting on his win, said: “As a sportsman, there’s no greater feeling than being in the mix on a Sunday afternoon. I recognised myself and I haven’t seen that person for quite a while, which is quite nice. It’s pretty special winning any golf tournament.”

Elsewhere, ECCO Golf Ambassador, Erik van Rooyen, continued his fine run of form with a T7th place finish at The Northern Trust, the first event in the PGA Tour FedExCup playoffs. Following his maiden PGA Tour victory at the Barracuda Championship earlier this month, which secured his place in the FedExCup playoffs, van Rooyen had another superb week at Liberty National Golf Club in New Jersey, finishing at 14-under-par.

At the AIG Women’s Open, meanwhile, two players wearing ECCO Golf shoes finished in the top-5, including major winner Minjee Lee. Fresh off a string of strong performances, including her maiden major title at the Evian Championship, Lee made a solid start to the week, and went into the final round at Carnoustie at four-under-par, but carded a brilliant 66 on Sunday to finish tied for fifth place at 10-under-par.

Finally, at the European Tour’s Czech Masters, Henrik Stenson came close to securing a 12th European Tour win as he was narrowly edged out to a T4th place finish. Following two bogey-free rounds to start his week, Stenson finished the week with rounds of 69 and 71, just falling short of a return to victory on tour.

Commenting on the impressive week, Jesper Thuen, responsible for sponsorship at ECCO Golf, said: “We are delighted with the strong performances by players wearing our shoes across the globe this week. Two wins is an awesome achievement, and for that to be backed up with another four top-10s is something we can be very proud of.

 “We are really excited by the performances of Sakura, Thomas, Minjee, Erik and Henrik, and this combined with the fantastic season Lydia Ko is having, means we can’t wait to see them continue to flourish.”
