Los Angeles, CA – July 24th, 2015 – HAUS OF GREY announces a multi-year apparel partnership with former #1 world ranked amateur golfer and recent graduate from Georgia Tech, Ollie Schniederjans. The 22-year-old American-born athlete will make his pro debut wearing Matte Grey sportswear this week during the RBC Canadian Open, but don’t let his youth fool you; he is no stranger to the pro game.
As the 2014 McCormack Award recipient, Schniederjans earned an exemption into both the 2015 US Open and the recent Open Championship, placing T-42nd at Chambers Bay and T-12th at St Andrews respectively. Ollie is only the 3rd amateur golfer since 1960 to make the cut in the same calendar year for both Open majors. With an impressive amateur career under his belt, Ollie’s future as a professional has great potential and will get underway fast as he targets additional starts on the PGA Tour over the coming weeks.
“Ollie is an incredible young man with a world of talent and couldn’t be a better fit for our men’s brand and sportswear collection, Matte Grey,” says Travis Johnson, Co-Founder and President of Haus of Grey. Johnson adds, “We’ve waited patiently during our first few years of business to find the next rising star in golf, and there’s no doubt in my mind that Ollie is going to be that guy.”
“I’m thrilled to represent Matte Grey,” said Schniederjans. “I admire the brand’s commitment to creating apparel that is clean, contemporary and designed for the modern golfer’s active lifestyle. They really have a passion for the game and will be a great partner as I enter this exciting new chapter in my career.”
Schniederjans not only has the opportunity to forge his own path and name in the game, but he’ll be easily recognized on the fairway through his own look and style. Kelli Marie Riley, Vice-President and Co-Founder of Haus of Grey says, “I love that Ollie has chosen to maintain his individuality. It shows he has strong roots and is going to stay true to himself.” Riley adds, “It takes maturity and confidence to make decisions like this and it will only enhance his own personal brand as he stands out for the right reasons.”
