American star now featured on LPGA Women’s Network
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (November 13, 2017) – Secret Golf today announced an exciting new partner-ship with the LPGA, kicking off the agreement with the debut of Gerina Piller’s Player Channel in multiple places. Piller’s video content will not only be added to Team Secret Golf’s stable of Tour pro-fessionals already available on SecretGolf.com, but will also be featured on the LPGA Women’s Net-work website.
In addition to Piller, the agreement calls for Team Secret Golf members and LPGA standouts Stacy Lewis, Brittany Lang and Gaby Lopez to also have segments of their Player Channels highlighted on the LPGA Women’s Network throughout the 2018 season
“It’s great for us to now be affiliated with one of golf’s premier organizations. Secret Golf features some of the best LPGA Tour players so its only natural that having a partnership with the LPGA Women’s Network is good business,” said Steve Elkington, the co-founder of Secret Golf and winner of 10 career titles on the PGA Tour, including the 1995 PGA Championship and a pair of Players Cham-pionships. “One of our missions is to help grow the game and we’ve found that women want to learn from Stacy Lewis, Brittany Lang, Gaby Lopez and now Gerina. The women we have on Team Secret Golf articulate and demonstrate their skills very well and we are excited to share our content on a new digital platform.”
“We’re excited to partner with Secret Golf to share the secrets behind some of the world’s best play-ers’ golf mechanics, practice techniques and mental skills,” said Ashleigh McLaughlin, Manager of Digital Marketing and Brand Strategy for the LPGA Women’s Network.
“These players are committed to helping grow the game of golf for women and they do a fabulous job of providing thoughtful advice which golfers can easily understand and apply to their own game. Hav-ing the chance to learn about their personal journeys and the secrets to their success is something we look forward to sharing with our audience.”
Piller, a rising star on the LPGA, has already had a variety of accomplishments in her young career and this joint agreement which debuts her video content only adds to her list of significant moments.
A former decorated collegiate player at the University of Texas-El Paso, Piller appeared on Golf Chan-nel’s “The Big Break” show in 2009 and that experience was a catalyst for her earning her initial LPGA exemption. She’s represented the United States on three Solheim Cup teams and also played for her country in the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. In 2017, Piller has finished among the top-5 in five LPGA tournaments and is currently among the top-40 in the world in the Rolex Women’s Rankings.
“It’s very exciting that my Player Channel will not only debut on our Secret Golf website but will also now be featured as part of the LPGA Women’s Network,” Piller said. “I had a great time shooting the content for this and giving an audience my unique perspective on the game of golf and my profes-sional career. When Steve (Elkington) asked me to become a part of the Secret Golf team, I become truly invested in doing the best job I could to tell the Gerina Piller story, what it’s like being married to a PGA Tour professional and what life is like on the LPGA Tour. To now have my video content also available on the LPGA website gives me a great opportunity to reach a broader cross-section of golf fans and hopefully continue to grow our great game.”
