Melissa Reid wore ‘Tommy Hilfiger Golf’ during her win at the Raiffeisenbank Prague Golf Masters on the Ladies European Tour.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK (June 27, 2012) – The Tommy Hilfiger Group, which is wholly owned by PVH Corp. [NYSE: PVH], is pleased to congratulate British golfer Melissa Reid on her first Ladies European Tour win in the 2012 season at the Raiffeisenbank Prague Golf Masters on Sunday, June 24.

Wearing her trademark Tommy Hilfiger Golf white shorts and lilac polo, Reid was the picture of poise and grace on the course. Reid has been dubbed one of the most promising talents in the game today and perfectly represents the classic, American, cool spirit of the Tommy Hilfiger brand.
