All-weather Performance Apparel Highlighted by Proprietary Technical Fabrics
(Markham, Ontario) – Trend-setting performance apparel designer Ralph Dunning and his company, Dunning Golf, announce that staff player Zach Johnson will compete in the 2006 Tour Championship, Nov. 2-5 at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Georgia.
Johnson, who qualified for the tournament by ranking among the top 30 on the official PGA Tour money list, will wear Dunning Golf’s complete, golf-specific apparel system, including pieces from the company’s Fall 2006 and Spring 2007 collections. The 30-year-old Iowa native will also display the company’s logo on his shirt sleeve.
"Qualifying for the Tour Championship is a great way for Zach to finish off an outstanding season," says Dunning, company founder and principal designer. "He knows that regardless of the conditions in Atlanta, our premium technical fabrics and player-specific designs will help him compete at the highest level."
"The competition at the Tour Championship is going to be intense, so my equipment has to be able to perform at a high level, and I know that my Dunning Golf Apparel will do just that," adds Johnson.
In 2006, Johnson competed in his first Ryder Cup, and had four Top-10 finishes including placing second at both The Bell South Classic and The Memorial Tournament. He currently ranks 24th on the PGA Tour money list.
In addition to Johnson, Dunning Golf’s elite PGA Tour staff includes John Senden, Craig Barlow, Bob Estes, Brian Gay and Bob Burns, among others. All Dunning Golf pieces incorporate the company’s proprietary fabric technologies and feature golf-specific cuts for freedom of movement throughout all phases of the swing.
