Volvik and GOLFSmart™, a scientifically-based dietary supplement engineered expressly for the game of golf, announce a co-branding partnership that will help launch GOLFSmart to the word’s professional golf tours.
The initiative will add exposure for Volvik in a new surging market and will build awareness of GOLFSmart among tour players and consumers, all while providing a service to the professionals that choose GOLFSmart for added energy and hydration on the golf course. GOLFSmart Powered by Volvik will be available to purchase at select golf courses and golf retail shops beginning in 2016.
“Combining the #1 golf-specific supplement with the #1 color golf ball on tour makes a lot of sense from a branding standpoint,” said Volvik USA President Don Shin. “Volvik is one of the fastest growing global golf brands in the world. Our desire is to use the power of the Volvik name and our exposure on the professional tours to help gain strategic licensing deals that vault our brand into a wide array of opportunities that exist in the market place. The rapidly growing supplement market is the perfect example of how we can spread our wings and receive even more exposure in the golf space.”
Over 75 professionals use Volvik’s ultra high-performance color golf balls on the world’s professional tours. Since 2012, players using Volvik golf balls have earned over $8.5 million in prize money on the PGA Tour, LPGA Tour, Champions Tour, Web.com Tour, Ladies European Tour, Ladies Asian Golf Tour and Symetra Tour, with 14 victories and over 100 top-10 finishes.
Volvik staff professionals on the LPGA and Symetra Tours will be provided with GOLFSmart Powered by Volvik. GOLFSmart is designed specifically to be taken immediately before and during a round of golf to improve a player’s focus, energy and hydration.
“GolfSmart already has gained recognition as a highly effective formulation that golfers appreciate,” said Brian Foy, PGA, vice president of H4Distribution, which distributes GOLFSmart throughout the U.S. “Now, by co-branding through matching Volvik colors and GOLFSmart powdered-drink colors on products and packaging, we will support the brands together for tour professionals and ultimately for amateurs, too.”
