(GREENVILLE, SC) – KENTWOOL- the 168-year-old, family-owned American textile innovator – announces that it will introduce three new made-in-the-USA sock styles at the PGA Merchandise Show, booth #4683, Jan. 26-28 in Orlando, FL.
The line, which is worn in competition by Bubba Watson and Matt Kuchar, will now include a graduated-knit compression model and a variety of solid, striped and argyle patterned dress styles. Additionally, the men’s Tour Profile will now be available in lime green, light blue and purple, joining the existing palette of natural, black and pink.
“Our golf socks created an entirely new premium category and have become one of the fastest-growing products in the entire industry,” says Mark Kent, President and CEO of KENTWOOL. “Feedback from our green grass partners has been tremendous, and now they can generate even more sales with models that keep customers just as comfortable off the course.”
Crafted from a proprietary blend of fine merino wool and high-tech fibers, KENTWOOL Golf Socks feature an innovative, micro-climate system for superior moisture management, wicking and odor control. Each pair is backed by a “blister-free guarantee” and showcases WINDspun technology that infuses the fibers with air. This creates unrivaled cushioning at micro-stress points along the foot, enhancing comfort and energy levels while reducing the risk of injury.
Retailing from $19.95 to $24.95, KENTWOOL golf socks are available in the ankle-length Tour and Low Profile models for both genders and mid-calf Tour Standard crafted exclusively for men. In addition to Watson and Kuchar, they are worn in competition by scores of Tour stars worldwide, including Jonathan Byrd, Ryann O’Toole, Peter Jacobsen, Duffy Waldorf, Brendon de Jonge, Tom Gillis, Jane Park, Charles Warren, Kevin Johnson, Kristy McPherson, Shasta Averyhardt, Jenny Suh, 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.
