PGA Tour Winner, Ryan Palmer and Ernst & Young form new partnership.
PLANO, Texas (February 6, 2007) – Links Sports announced today the formation of a new endorsement relationship between PGA Tour star, Ryan Palmer, and the international accounting firm, Ernst & Young. Palmer will now wear the Ernst & Young logo on the front of his hat in all PGA Tour events worldwide.
"Ernst & Young is excited to have PGA golfer Ryan Palmer wear our firm’s logo on his hat. We believe Ryan, like our other sponsored PGA golfer, Loren Roberts, strongly represents Ernst & Young’s brand of people, quality, and integrity" said Tom Hever, National Sales at Ernst & Young. "We wish him great health and success for the 2007 season."
Ernst & Young has had a long standing relationship with fellow Links Sports client, Loren Roberts. This multi-year affiliation with Roberts is one of the longest continuous corporate endorsement relationships between a professional golfer and a corporation.
