(GREENVILLE, SC) – KENTWOOL – the world’s premier textile innovator and maker of premium, performance socks specifically engineered for golfers – announces that it will donate a portion of proceeds on sales of all its pink socks during the month of October to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF).
Running in conjunction with Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the program applies to the company’s pink Tour Profile sock for men and women – a favorite of staff player and PGA Tour star Bubba Watson – and the Low Profile Skinny offered exclusively for ladies.
“Our pink socks have become a best seller, especially as people worldwide have seen Bubba rocking them on TV and in his social media posts,” says Mark Kent, President and CEO of KENTWOOL. “For the second consecutive year we aim to translate that popularity into a donation to the very important cause of combating Breast Cancer.”

Available at scores of premium green-grass locations and www.kentwool.com/shop, KENTWOOL Golf Socks are backed by a “blister-free guarantee.” Retailing for $19.95 to $24.95, styles include the Low Profile Skinny and Tour Profile for women, as well as Low Profile, Tour Profile and longer Tour Standard for men.
Crafted from a proprietary blend of fine merino wool and high-tech fibers, KENTWOOL Golf Socks create an innovative, micro-climate system for superior moisture management, wicking and odor control. Each pair features the brand’s WINDspun technology – infusing the fibers with air – for unrivaled cushioning at micro-stress points along the foot. This maximizes comfort, increases energy levels, reduces the risk of injury and boosts on-course performance.
In addition to Watson, KENTWOOL premium performance golf socks are worn in competition by many Tour players, including Matt Kuchar, Jonathan Byrd, Peter Jacobsen, Duffy Waldorf, Brendon de Jonge, Tom Gillis, Jane Park, Charles Warren, Kevin Johnson, Jenny Suh, Kristy McPherson, Shasta Averyhardt, Sarah Kemp, Jenny Gleason, Meaghan Francella and Jenny Hong.
About KENTWOOL
Founded in 1843, KENTWOOL continues to be one of the nation’s longest-running, family-owned textile companies. KENTWOOL is the only company in the western hemisphere – and one of 50 in the world – to receive the Usterized Quality Certification indicating the highest level of quality assurance in yarn production.
An avid golfer, KENTWOOL CEO Mark Kent had the idea to produce the “World’s Best Golf Sock” after standing in the 18th fairway of the BMW Nationwide Tour Pro-Am tending to blistered, bleeding feet instead of concentrating on the eagle opportunity guaranteeing him a spot in the final round.
Born from that moment is golf’s leading, premium merino wool golf sock. It enables golfers of all abilities to play their best while benefiting from abrasion and fatigue resistance, as well as KENTWOOL’s blister-free guarantee. KENTWOOL utilizes its nearly two-century-old heritage of superiority in textiles to create socks which draw upon wool’s natural and cool performance fibers for moisture management, sheer comfort and other performance-enhancing benefits.
Based in Greenville, SC, all KENTWOOL products are made in the USA.
