Company Creates Headwear, Apparel, Accessories to Celebrate June 4 Global Event
NEW BEDFORD, Mass. (May 21, 2019) – – AHEAD announces it is an official merchandise partner supporting Women’s Golf Day (WGD), scheduled for Tuesday, June 4. AHEAD joins more than 50,000 women and girls, 900 golf courses and 52 countries around the world participating in this international one-day event, which was created to engage, empower, and support women and girls through golf.
Promising to be the largest single-day celebration of women’s golf, this year’s WGD is buoyed by a new partnership with the ANNIKA Foundation, the charitable foundation of Annika Sörenstam, who won 89 international tournaments— including 72 LPGA events and 10 major championships—during her stellar professional career (1992-2008). AHEAD and Sörenstam have enjoyed a long-standing partnership, with the golfing legend exclusively wearing AHEAD apparel on the course.
“AHEAD is especially proud to join thousands of women and girls in many countries by supporting this initiative,” said Anne Broholm, CEO, AHEAD. “And, we applaud WGD founder Elisa Gaudet for partnering with our long-time friend Annika Sorenstam to increase the event’s exposure to help impact more women and girls through the game of golf.”
AHEAD’s official WGD merchandise includes headwear, polo shirts, and bag tags, all designed in the official event colors of cardinal and white. Golf courses participating this year that wish to carry AHEAD merchandise should send an email to womensgolfday@aheadhq.com.
