As part of the partnership, AB will provide its world-class designs to the winners of IJGT major events, as well as IJGT Team USA players and coaches competing in the Euro Cup and North America Cup matches this summer. The Scottsdale-based company will also serve as the title sponsor for the IJGT Arizona Junior, April 6-7 at Wigwam Resort and Spa in Litchfield Park, AZ.
“The IJGT brings together top juniors from across the globe on their way to college scholarships and Tour cards,” says Chip Burley, Co-Owner of AB Golf Designs. “These players represent golf’s future and enjoy the ability to express their individuality though unique head cover styles.”
Boasting an ever-growing array of novelty and classic head covers, AB Golf Designs’ catalog includes the premium leather “America” models used by Team USA during the 2011 Presidents Cup, popular Patriotic boxing gloves and the eco-friendly Throwback collection of traditionally-styled knit head covers made from recycled plastic bottles. The brand also has a dedicated corporate tournament division that excels at providing attractive pricing, superb design and industry-leading customer service.
“AB Golf Designs offers fun, creative head covers that marry the tradition of golf with personal expression on the course,” says Peter Orrell, CEO and President of Junior Sports Corporation, owner/operator of the IJGT. “This partnership will grant our players and their families direct access to these innovative designs.”
