CHATSWORTH, Calif. – Wearing a pink hat designed by Gogie Girl Sunday, Annika Sorenstam posted her second win in as many weeks and third win of the of the year by capturing the LPGA’s “fifth major” — the Michelob ULTRA Open at Kingsmill. The No. 2 player in the world shot a four-day total of -19 (265) shattering the old tournament scoring record by five strokes.
Gogie Girl, designers of hats by women for women and an official licensee of the LPGA, has been making Annika’s hats all year to match her “Annika Collection” of apparel by Cutter & Buck. Gogie Girl will be introducing Annika’s new headwear color line in June 2008.
“It’s exciting to see Annika on top of her game and playing so well week after week,” said Gogie Girl co-founder Vicky Waldorf, wife of PGA Tour veteran Duffy Waldorf. “Everyone here at Gogie Girl is so thrilled to be associated with Annika and what she means to the game.”
Gogie Girl hats and visors come in two sizes – standard and petite and feature their proprietary Softweave™ mesh fabric and Silton™ lining. The hats are very soft and comfortable; women enjoy wearing them all day long. In addition, a shorter, more feminine brim provides plenty of protection from the sun and Gogie Girl provides logo customization with strategically placed Swarovski crystals for that feminine touch. It all adds up to the “Gogie Difference.”
While on Tour this year, Annika has received several compliments both in person and on her blog about the stylish Gogie Girl hats that she’s been wearing.
“I love Gogie Girl hats,” Annika shared with her fans. “They are fun and unique in the fact that they are made by women, specifically for women. I have had a lot of compliments.”
As an official licensee of the LPGA for 2008 and 2009, Gogie Girl will donate five percent of the profits generated by LPGA-branded products to The LPGA Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization, for scholarships for junior golfers.
