WATKINSVILLE, Ga. (Sept. 4, 2007)—Tifosi Optics is pleased to announce a new partnership with LPGA professional Brittany Lincicome. The multi-year agreement names Tifosi as exclusive eyewear sponsor for Lincicome effective immediately.
Lincicome is part of Tifosi’s companywide objective to support women’s athletics with performance eyewear specifically designed for female faces. Tifosi Optics offers several models with narrower frames and women’s specific features such as adjustable nose pads to reduce eyelash rub.
Listed ninth on the offical LPGA money list, Lincicome will lend her name to two custom Tifosi Optics golf-specific sunglasses available in the spring of 2008.
Lincicome’s signature pieces will combine women’s specific designs with fresh colors and Tifosi’s golf lens technology.
"Brittany is a great fit for Tifosi," said Tifosi Optics founder, Joe Earley. "She’s the girl next door, who also happens to be one of the best female golfers in the world. We’re looking forward to growing with Brittany and having her on board will definitely strengthen our efforts to become a major player in golf-specific eyewear."
In her third season as a professional, Lincicome, 21, is recognized as one of the longest hitters on tour. She currently has two wins on the LPGA Tour and was recently named to the Solheim Cup team—the women’s version of the Ryder Cup— where she will represent the United States against the best players from Europe.
During a breakout season in 2006, Lincicome won the HSBC Women’s World Match Play Championship after dominating six consecutive matches and claimed one of the biggest purses on tour. In spring 2007, Lincicome also won the Ginn Open.
