Nashville, Tenn. (Feb. 3, 2014) – Buoyed by a successful PGA Merchandise Show, Chase54 is poised for success in 2014 with a revamped line of apparel and a strong roster of brand ambassadors geared for professional success and continued exposure for the growing company.
“It’s been a tremendous first month of the year for us, and the PGA Merchandise Show was the perfect way to kick off what we consider to be a year of growth for Chase54,” said Mike Hammontree, brand director for the company. “We’ve been able to add a number of talented players to what we like to call ‘Team54,’ and our growth there speaks to the quality and performance of our product. From our sponsorship of the RE/MAX World Long Drive Championships to our growing roster of PGA TOUR, Web.com Tour and LPGA Tour players, we’re excited to partner with these talented professionals in 2014.”
Jason Kokrak and Bronson La’Cassie both have full status for the 2014 PGA TOUR season. Kokrak is a two-time winner on the Web.com Tour and is entering his third season on the PGA TOUR. La’Cassie won the Cox Classic last year on the Web.com Tour, finishing sixth on the money list and earning his card on the PGA TOUR.
Zach Fischer, who won the 2013 Web.com Tour Qualifying Tournament, is part of a group of four players on the Web.com Tour who will be wearing Chase54 gear. Joining Fischer are Chris Baker, Justin Hueber and Jason Millard.
On the LPGA Tour, Brooke Pancake and Nicole Smith will be representing Chase54. Pancake, who sank the clinching putt to lift the University of Alabama to its first NCAA title in 2012, made five cuts in her rookie season and is poised for a breakout in her first full year on the LPGA Tour. Smith, like Pancake a graduate of the Symetra Tour, was the only player inside the Volvik Race for the Card Top 10 to make every cut in 2013.
On the professional long drive circuit, Chase54 has emerged as one of the top apparel brands with a trio of high-profile brand ambassadors. Ryan Winther is a former RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship winner and world record holder, while Patrick Hopper reached the Elite Eight of last year’s event. Trent Scruggs, one of the youngest long-drive competitors in the professional ranks, rounds out the company’s long drive lineup.
Chase54 debuted its overhauled line of apparel at the 2014 PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, Fla., showcasing a host of new designs and styles meshed with the performance and durability its fans have grown to love. From the High Gauge Series, a waterproof blend of Spandex and polyester that is the company’s lightest and most flexible fabric, to its unique Heat Retention fabric, that absorbs heat and locks it in to keep you warm on cool mornings, Chase54 features a diverse assortment of fabrics that provide comfort and performance suitable for any climate.
“We’re excited about what 2014 has in store for us, and the PGA Merchandise Show was a great indicator of where we believe we’re headed,” said Hammontree. “We opened a number of new accounts and had multiple reorders from existing clients, and that showing of faith from our customers is incredibly gratifying as we move forward.”
