Golf’s premier junior apparel brand tabs former PGA professional for executive post
Denver, CO – Garb, Inc., the leading and original junior golf apparel brand, today announced that it has hired Lindsay Browder as vice president, effectively immediately.
Browder, a 10-year veteran of the golf industry and former PGA professional, undertakes the vice president role at Garb after serving most recently as director of women’s design and merchandising at Peter Millar. As Garb continues to flourish in both its golf and collegiate licensed divisions the addition of Browder is expected to bring structure, experience, and guidance to the growing brand.
“There’s so much opportunity within Garb to grow the brand and develop the product offering,” said Browder. “We will continue to evolve what golf apparel looks like for the game’s next generation of players and provide our customers with a product offering and level of service that is unequivocally the best in the industry. There’s so much more to Garb then just golf; we have a lot up our sleeve in the way of licensed apparel and young adult offerings. Right now is an ideal time for growth and building within the company, and that’s really exciting to be a part of.”
Garb has been at the forefront of the junior golf apparel industry since the company’s founding, and is widely recognized as the original junior golf apparel brand, having created the category in 1996. In 2006, Garb expanded into the collegiate licensed market with their “Team Apparel” for kids.
“We are thrilled to have Lindsay join our executive team here at Garb,” said Joe Silva, the founder and president of Garb, Inc. “She brings a wealth of design knowledge and proven apparel category leadership to our company. Her ability to think strategically and execute on innovative tactics is an unbeatable combination, and I have no doubt that our customers will soon learn just how valuable of an addition she is.”
