(HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA) – Club Glove® – a worldwide leader in the design and manufacture of premium travel bags, golf bags, club covers, accessories and luggage – announces a multi-year partnership through which it will serve as title sponsor of the Sun Belt Conference (SBC) men’s and women’s golf championships.
Beginning in 2011, these events will be titled The Club Glove Sun Belt Conference Golf Championships. The company will also receive exposure via prominent on-site signage, a presence on the conference’s websites and a presence at non-golf SBC championships.
“The Sun Belt Conference has a record of producing the future stars of golf, making this a natural alliance for Club Glove,” says company president Jeff Herold. “More than 90 percent of PGA Tour players use our patented golf travel bags and this partnership will allow us to further strengthen our relationships with the great collegiate programs in the Sun Belt Conference.”
Known for its industry-leading travel bags and accessories, Club Glove is a familiar name in college golf as among other models the company’s lightweight Burstproof w/ Wheels 2 is used by hundreds of teams. The brand’s entire line of products is available in a variety of colors and embroidery options, including several collegiate logos.
“We are delighted to be associated with Club Glove, the company’s products are like our golf teams – classy, quality and built to last,” says Wright Waters, Sun Belt Conference Commissioner.
The inaugural Club Glove Sun Belt Conference Women’s Golf Championship will take place April 18-20, 2011 at The Shoals Golf Course in Muscle Shoals, AL. The Men’s Championship will be held at the same location on April 25-27.
Club Glove’s overwhelming PGA Tour dominance was confirmed by a recent Darrell Survey that showed a vast majority of the reporting field chose the company’s patented golf travel bags. These results mirror Club Glove’s undisputed position as the No. 1 golf travel bag brand at all PGA and Champions Tour events. The line’s innovative, high-performance products have also been a staple selection of six U.S. Ryder Cup teams.
