Parel will wear Byron Nelson Collection apparel in tour competition
Norcross, Ga. (February 1, 2018) – Divots Sportswear has named highly touted, second-year touring professional Scott Parel as Tour Ambassador on the PGA TOUR Champions, according to company president, Bob Friedman.
Parel will compete on TOUR wearing apparel from Divots’ Byron Nelson Collection, including branded shirts, sweaters, outerwear and pants (www.ByronNelsonGolf.com).
Parel, who has taken a long and circuitous route to the highest levels of competitive golf, begins his second full-year as an exempt member of the PGA Tour Champions, where expectations are high.
An article on the tour’s website previewing the 2018 season and titled “Five to Break Through in 2018” heralds that “Parel’s combination of long off the tee and stellar on the greens (seventh in putting average) is a recipe for a victory. It would surprise no one to see him earn a title in 2018.”
A graduate of the University of Georgia, Parel did not play college golf for the Dawgs, electing instead to focus on his studies in computer science. He subsequently worked as a computer programmer and database administrator for 10 years following college and did not turn pro until 1996, at age 31.
“I’m thrilled to represent Divots on Tour as they celebrate their milestone fourth decade in the golf apparel business,” says Parel. “And I am particularly honored to be wearing the Byron Nelson brand as there was no finer gentleman on or off the course than Mr. Nelson.”
One of the oldest private golf apparel companies in the U.S., Divots has been recognized for decades for providing quality men’s and lady’s golf apparel and consummate customer service to green-grass golf shops, golf outings, corporate functions and special events.
