Norcross, GA (February 3, 2011) — Divots Sportswear, the oldest private golf apparel company in the country, extends congratulations to tour ambassador Sonny Skinner on being named Senior PGA Professional Player of the Year.
Skinner, a PGA teaching professional at River Pointe Golf Club in Albany, Ga., finished with 1,642.33 points to cruise to the Senior PGA Professional Player of the Year honors. He was honored Jan. 27, in Orlando, Fla., during the 2010 PGA of America Awards program, in conjunction with the 58th PGA Merchandise Show at the Orange County Convention Center.
Divots Sportswear President Robert Friedman said, “We are delighted for Sonny on the prestigious honor he received from the PGA of America. Sonny is a valued member of the Divots family and we wish him every personal and professional success for 2011.”
Skinner opened his 2010 season by winning the Taylormade-adidas Golf PGA Senior-Junior and Match Play Championships. He added his National Championship runner-up performance with a share of sixth in the Senior PGA Professional National Championship in October, and capped the year by finishing runner-up on the PGA Tournament Series money list in December.
Skinner, who turned 50 last August, becomes the first player in PGA of America history to win both the PGA Professional Player of the Year (2008) and a Senior PGA Professional Player of the Year awards.
Skinner has worn Divots apparel in competition for the last four years.
