KENTWOOL Adds LPGA Tour Star Jane Park to Elite Staff-Player Roster
To Compete in Premium Performance Golf Sock, Display Brand Logo on Headwear, Bag
KENTWOOL – the world’s premier textile innovator and maker of premium, performance socks specifically engineered for golfers – adds LPGA Tour star Jane Park to its team of formidable players.
As part of a multi-year agreement, Park will compete in KENTWOOL’s luxurious merino wool women’s golf socks and display the brand’s logo on her headwear and bag. The 23-year-old American will appear in company marketing initiatives and on www.kentwool.com/shop.
"There’s no doubt KENTWOOL helps my game,” says Park. "Knowing my feet will stay cool, comfortable and, most important, blister free gives me the confidence to play my best.”
In 2004, Park won the US Women's Amateur Championship and reached the finals of the US Girls' Junior Championship. Since her 17-under-par victory at the 2007 LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament, Park has registered six top-10 finishes and more than $900,000 in earnings.
"Jane is a wonderful young talent and we are thrilled she’s on our team,” says Mark Kent, President and CEO of KENTWOOL. "More and more top Tour stars are discovering how KENTWOOL positively impacts their game.”
KENTWOOL Golf Socks maximize foot comfort, increase energy levels and boost on-course performance by combining fine merino wool and the company’s "WINDspun” air-infused technology. A proprietary blend of natural and high-tech fibers help KENTWOOL Golf Socks create an innovative, micro-climate system for superior moisture management and wicking, as well as odor control.
Enhanced cushioning at strategic micro-stress points along the foot result in unrivalled, abrasion-proof comfort round after round. Sophisticatedly-engineered heel, toe and bridge elements designed with advanced reinforcement provide maximum support and protection against injury.
Retailing for $19.95-$24.95, women’s styles include the Low Profile Skinny, Low Profile and Tour Profile. The Low Profile, Tour Profile and longer Tour Standard are offered for men. All are available in colors natural or black at select green-grass locations and www.kentwool.com/shop.
In addition to Park, KENTWOOL premium performance golf socks are worn in competition by many Tour players, including Bubba Watson, Brendon de Jonge, Jonathan Byrd, Charles Warren, Kevin Johnson, Dustin Bray, Kristy McPherson, Sarah Kemp, Jenny Gleason and Anna Scott.
