(LONDONDERRY, NH) – Danish company ECCO – a leading manufacturer of innovative footwear – announces the signing of LPGA Tour players Jennifer Johnson, Pernilla Lindberg, Sadena Parks, Kendall Dye and Therese Koelbaek who will compete in the leading-edge BIOM Hybrid 2 and BIOM G2 models.
Currently No. 75 on the Rolex Ranking, Johnson turned professional in 2010 after a highly decorated amateur career. The 23 year old has since established herself as one of the most talented young Americans on Tour, winning the 2013 Mobile Bay LPGA Classic and recording six career top-10s.
Lindberg, a 28-year-old Swede, has risen to No. 91 on the Rolex Ranking following a 2014 season that saw her make 23 cuts and record three top 10s. Her year was highlighted by a tie for third at the Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia, where she shot a career-low 63 in the final round.
An LPGA Tour rookie in 2015, Parks earner her card by winning two Symetra Tour events and finishing fourth on last year’s money list. Just the fifth African American to play on the LPGA Tour, the 24-year-old University of Washington graduate is also known for her role on Golf Channel’s Big Break Florida.
A University of Oklahoma graduate, the 28-year-old Dye earned her LPGA Tour card by finishing No. 8 on the 2014 Symetra Tour. Her season was highlighted by a victory at the IOA Classic and seven additional top-10s.
Just beginning her rookie season on the LPGA Tour, the 27-year-old Koelbaek was a member of the Danish Golf Union’s Junior National Team. After graduating from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, she turned professional in late 2011, spending two-plus years on the Symetra Tour.
“These women bring a great combination of skill, style and personality to the course every time they tee it up,” says Jesper Thuen, Global Marketing Manager – ECCO Golf Lab. “Along with established stars like Na Yeon Choi and Caroline Masson, they serve as outstanding ambassadors for the ECCO Golf brand.”
The ECCO Golf collection is also endorsed by Tour stars Fred Couples, Ernie Els, Graeme McDowell, Thomas Bjørn, Marcel Siem, Thongchai Jaidee and Will Wilcox, among others.
