Ecco Golf – Marcel Siem wins the BMW Masters relying on BIOM Golf Shoes

Marcel-Siem-BMW-Masters-2014November 4, 2014 – Danish company Ecco, a leading manufacturer of innovative footwear, confirms that Staff Player Marcel Siem wore its BIOM Golf shoes featuring Natural Motion technology en route to winning the European Tour’s BMW Masters this past weekend at Lake Malaren Golf Club in Shanghai, China.

Showcasing the Ecco logo on his headwear, Siem began the final round five shots off the lead. Battling strong winds, the 34-year-old German shot a 73 to finish at 16-under and earn a spot in a three-way playoff. He then secured the victory on the first hole of sudden death, chipping in from the fringe for a dramatic birdie 3.

“I knew with the windy conditions that it might be a little better chance to win the tournament,” said Marcel Siem. “A chip-in is always cool, but to have it in a playoff is even cooler.”

By capturing the first event of the Final Series, Siem advances from 53rd to fourth on The Race to Dubai. He also moves to just outside the top-70 on the Official World Golf Rankings and earns a spot in the WGC-HSBC Champions.

“This marks the third consecutive year that Marcel has won a European Tour title,” says Jesper Thuen, Global Sponsorship, PR & Event Manager – Ecco Golf. “That’s an impressive streak and a testament to his preparation, drive and talent.”

Ecco Golf – Extension agreement with PGA Tour player Will Wilcox

Will-Wilcox-Ecco-Golf-2015November 1, 2014 – Danish shoe brand Ecco has announced the extension of its endorsement agreement with PGA Tour player Will Wilcox, who will continue to showcase the company logo on his shirt collar and compete in its BIOM golf shoes featuring Natural Motion technology.

A 28-year-old Alabama native, Wilcox recorded five Top-25 finishes as a PGA Tour rookie in 2014 and concluded the year ranked among the top-20 in Total Driving. Notably, he placed T4 at the Greenbrier Classic and T8 at the Sony Open.

“Will has proven that he can elevate his performance while competing against the game’s best players,” says Jesper Thuen, Global Sponsorship, PR & Event Manager, Ecco Golf. “He’s poised to take yet another step forward in 2015.”

Taught the game by his mother, Kim, who coaches the University of Alabama at Birmingham women’s golf team, Wilcox was a nationally-ranked junior before becoming a three-time collegiate All-American. He turned professional in 2009, winning three times between the NGA Tour and Canadian Tour before earning his PGA Tour card by finishing No. 7 on the 2013 Web.com Tour money list. That season, he won the South Georgia Classic and became only the fourth player in Web.com Tour history to shoot a 59 in competition (final round of Utah Championship).

“Ecco makes the most comfortable and durable golf shoes I’ve ever worn,” says Will Wilcox. “The wide variety of styles allows me to switch back and forth between cleated and hybrid models depending on the footwear experience I want on a particular day.”

Will Wilcox will compete in a range of selections from the award-winning Ecco BIOM line featuring Natural Motion technology. These include the new BIOM Hybrid 2 and BIOM G2 models.
