"Jilly McGilly" To Carry Maruman Bag For Legendary Premium Golf Equipment Manufacturer from Japan
La Habra, CA, July 12, 2007 – Maruman Golf today announced that it has signed popular LPGA Tour Veteran Jill McGill to an endorsement agreement. Jill has been an exempt LPGA Tour player for many years and is known as one of the best ball strikers on the LPGA Tour. The tall blonde from San Diego will carry a Maruman Golf bag beginning with today’s first round of the "Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic" at Highland Meadows Golf Club in Sylvania, Ohio.
"We are very happy that Jill McGill will be working with us to bring Maruman back to the attention of LPGA and PGA Tour players here in the U.S.," Maruman Global CEO Jimmy Chao stated. "One of Maruman’s three major championships was earned out on the LPGA Tour so we feel very positive that we can make a real statement about our return through Jill’s confidence in our equipment. From all accounts and from the meetings that our Maruman team members have had with her, Jill will be an outstanding ambassador for Maruman and its product line here in the U.S. We wanted just the right person to represent us out on Tour here in the U.S. and we believe that Jill is a perfect fit. Jill will be an important part of the process of successfully re-introducing Maruman to the U.S. market. The fact that she is such a great ball striker with a picturesque swing makes her an even better match for our line of premium equipment. We couldn’t be more pleased to welcome Jill McGill to the Maruman family."
"I am extremely excited about partnering with Maruman Golf," McGill commented. "Maruman is renowned for combining cutting edge technology with unparalleled elegance and beauty. It is Maruman’s dedication to providing golfers with equipment that will truly improve their performance on the course that is most important to me, however. I am very proud to be a part of the Maruman team."
