(GREENVILLE, SC) – KENTWOOL – the world’s premier textile innovator and maker of premium, performance socks specifically engineered for golfers – will celebrate Staff Player Bubba Watson earning a spot on the U.S. Ryder Cup team with a 40-day “Team USA” consumer promotion.
Between August 20 and September 30, 2010, ordering on www.kentwool.com using the promotion code “BUBBA” will receive a 20-percent off discount. They will also be entered to win a Watson-autographed logo cap six pairs of socks. The winner will be chosen October 1 – the first day of Ryder Cup competition – and announced via the website and social media spaces.
“Since the day Bubba started wearing KENTWOOL socks, he’s made two holes in one, captured a PGA Tour event, finished runner-up at a major and played his way onto the Ryder Cup squad,” said Mark Kent, President and CEO of KENTWOOL. “I’m not saying it’s just the socks, but he hasn’t changed anything else!”
The affable, left-handed Floridian made his PGA Tour debut in 2006. He quickly became a crowd favorite by routinely blasting 300-plus-yard drives, flashing a warm smile and devoting himself to charity off the course. Watson’s career includes two Tour victories, the 2008 CVS Caremark Classic and 2010 Traveler’s Championship, along with a runner-up finish at the 2010 PGA Championship.
KENTWOOL Golf Socks maximize foot comfort, increase energy levels and boost on-course performance, by combining fine merino wool and the company’s “WINDspun” air-infused technology. A proprietary blend of natural and high-tech fibers help KENTWOOL Golf Socks create an innovative, micro-climate system for superior moisture management and wicking, as well as odor control.
Enhanced cushioning at strategic micro-stress points along the foot result in unrivalled, abrasion-proof comfort round after round. Sophisticatedly-engineered heel, toe and bridge elements designed with advanced reinforcement provide maximum support and protection against injury.
Retailing for $19.95-$24.95, the ankle-length Tour Profile and longer Tour Standard models are available in colors natural or black, at select green-grass locations and at www.kentwool.com.
In addition to Watson, KENTWOOL premium performance golf socks are worn in competition by many Tour players, including Jonathan Byrd, Charles Warren, Kevin Johnson, Dustin Bray, Kristy McPherson, Sarah Kemp, Jenny Gleason and Anna Scott.
