BOURBON, MO – January 13, 2016 – Imperial Headwear was named the Official Headwear of the 2016 Jones Cup Invitational. The Jones Cup takes place February 5-7, 2016 at Ocean Forest Golf Club in Sea Island, GA.
The Jones Cup was born from a deep commitment to amateur golf by the A.W. Jones family, who founded The Cloister and Sea Island Golf Club. First contested in 2001 as a precursor to the Walker Cup, the Jones Cup was an opportunity to celebrate the game of golf as well as the camaraderie and fellowship associated with it. The Jones Cup brings together many of the finest amateurs from the United States and abroad. Its success and popularity has been attributed to the strength of the player field. Past participants include current PGA TOUR stars like Luke Donald, Rickie Fowler, Lucas Glover, Dustin Johnson, Chris Kirk, Webb Simpson, Brandt Snedeker, Bubba Watson, Harris English, Patrick Reed, Jordan Spieth and Kyle Stanley.
“Imperial is delighted to be a part of the The Jones Cup Invitational for the second year in a row,” said David Shaffer, Director of Marketing at Imperial Headwear. “The Jones Cup is amateur golf at its finest and Ocean Forest is on one of the most amazing venues in the World. We consider this event a great fit for Imperial, especially as we celebrate our 100th anniversary this year.”
“We are excited to continue our partnership with Imperial Headwear as they share in our support of amateur golf,” said Kory Reitz, Head Golf Professional at Ocean Forest Golf Club. “Our partnership with Imperial allows two visions of premium quality to align in order to create a world class event experience for our participants and volunteers.”
