GRANBURY, Texas – July 7, 2014 – HIRZL, the #1 Long Drive Golf Glove with over 11 victories in the past three years, is proud to announce that its presence on the LPGA Tour has grown with the addition of LPGA Professional Line Vedel.
The European prodigy, Swiss born, LPGA Professional is enjoying a successful 2014 LPGA Tour rookie season. She recently tied for fourth place at the Swinging Skirts LPGA Classic, 15th at the Manulife Financial LPGA Classic, and 19th at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship with two consecutive rounds of 68.
“Line is a great addition to the HIRZL Professional Golf Staff. She is an up and coming rookie who has already locked in a Top-5 and is providing media coverage for the company with some of her impressive low scoring rounds. We are confident that her success will grow in alignment with the HIRZL brand,” commented HIRZL Vice President of Sales & Marketing Steve Gray.
Prior to reaching the LPGA Tour, Vedel played on the Ladies European Tour where she captured her first career victory at the 2012 Allianz Ladies Slovak Open.

As an amateur she earned a runner-up finish at the European Individual Championship and won the 2010 Moelle Masters on the Nordea Tour.
Vedel plays the HIRZL SOFFFT™ which provides the world’s top players with the ULTIMATE FEELING. These Tour Player performance gloves are hand-crafted and are produced with the highest quality Platinum Cabretta, undergoing no less than 72 separate manufacturing steps. The revolutionary HIRZL SOFFFT™ technology undergoes an extremely complex tanning process to offer the perfect fit and to remain supple.
“The HIRZL SOFFFT™ is a leading glove on several tours, including the LPGA. So it’s not a surprise that Line prefers this HIRZL model but in rain or soggy conditions, she keeps her grip dry by wearing the HIRZL Trust FEEL,” added Gray.

About HIRZL:
HIRZL, headquartered in Switzerland, with North American operations based in Granbury, TX, is a leading specialist for high performance sports gloves. HIRZL’s focus is solely on gloves with products specifically designed for golf and cycling, which is in contrast to many sports manufacturers with wide ranges of products spanning equipment, shoes and fashion. HIRZL’s gloves are designed with the latest scientific, technical and ergonomic mechanics data on how sports equipment is used on the hands. The company philosophy is based upon the firm belief that gloves are an essential part of the equipment for many types of sports. When gloves are used in sports, they become the only true link between the hands of the sportsperson and their equipment.
HIRZL Gloves Manufactured for The “Ultimate Glove Experience:”
HIRZL manufactures their high performance gloves with only the finest genuine leather, natural kangaroo or cabretta leather which has been additionally tanned with a propriety technology. The leather is individually stretched by hand and table cut, effectively ensuring the direction of stretch is controlled in each piece. For ventilation comfort a membrane directs the airflow and breathability characteristics to create a micro-environment for the skin to breathe more easily. The stretch fit feature provides a strategically based perfect fit and wearing comfort. All HIRZL gloves are constructed with a 45-degree “Pre-curved finger system” in consideration to the natural curvature of the hand and to avoid bunching effects and guarantee a perfect fit. For addition comfort, a sweat band made with terry towel absorbs sweat and water at the wrist area which also has a warming effect when temperatures are low. Form fit inserts are strategically placed in the palm section of the glove to reduce pleats. A low wrist cut construction provides 360-degrees of unlimited movement.
