LAKELAND,Fla., April 24, 2007 – The Duramed FUTURES Tour announces that Sun Mountain has been named "the official golf bag and outerwear" of the Tour. As a sponsor of the Tour, Sun Mountain will outfit the Duramed FUTURES Tour road staff with outerwear and also work with the tour players on golf bags and outerwear.
"We are very excited about our sponsorship with the Duramed FUTURES Tour," stated
Ed Kowachek, President of Sun Mountain. "The majority of the tour’s players use carry bags since they don’t have professional caddies so it is a natural fit for Sun Mountain. And, all golfers at every level of competition can benefit from our stretchable, waterproof RainFlexTM line of outerwear."
As an official sponsor, Sun Mountain is the exclusive golf bag and outerwear company in the Duramed FUTURES Tour online pro shop. Sun Mountain is a pioneer of the golf industry revolutionizing the categories in which it competes, including golf bags, outerwear, and walking carts. Sun Mountain is credited with many industry firsts, including being the first to use backpack technology to create a lightweight golf bag, the first to make a golf bag with built-in legs, first outerwear designed specifically for golf, and creating a whole new category in carts with their popular push cart, Speed Cart®.
"Sun Mountain is an industry leader and we are proud to have them as a partner with our tour," stated Zayra F. Calderon, president and CEO, Duramed FUTURES Tour. "We look forward to working closely with them and promoting their outstanding golf bags and outerwear among the players, sponsors and tournament organizers."
