Two-time Olympic Games competitor will wear the brand’s distinctive footwear
Luxury Italian golf fashion brand Duca del Cosma today announced the signing of LPGA Tour player Kelly Tan to wear its hand-crafted shoes in a multi-year contract.
Tan, who represented Malaysia at the 2016 & 2020 Olympic Games, becomes the second global Tour player to sign with the fast-growing brand, after six-time European Tour winner Joost Luiten joined in January.
“The signing of Kelly shows our intent to connect with fashion-conscious female golfers seeking the most stylish and comfortable golf shoes that money can buy,” said Evelien Lauwers, General Manager in North America. “As our women’s shoes are gaining more popularity in golf’s largest market, we felt it was the perfect time to sign Kelly as she looks to build on a big year in her professional golfing career,” she added.
A member of the LPGA Tour since 2014 and the only Malaysian professional golfer to win a championship on US soil when she captured the Florida’s Natural Charity Classic on the LPGA Symetra Tour in 2019, Kelly will be sporting the latest spikeless shoes in a host of vibrant colors for the forthcoming season.
“From wearing Duca del Cosma shoes at the Olympic Games this year, I was able to appreciate the stunning quality on offer right away and it made signing with the brand an easy decision,” said Kelly, who carded a final round of 64 (-7) in Tokyo. “I love the bold look of the shoes and I’m really excited to promote the brand’s super-comfortable footwear going forward,” she added.
At the Tokyo Olympic Games, Kelly wore the patriotic UNITY shoe styled with yellow laces to match the design and color scheme of the Malaysian flag, as well as the sporty KUBANA.
Kelly can be found on Social Media – @KellyTan33 (Instagram) and Kelly Tan LPGA (Facebook) – where she updates followers on her playing and training regime, plus the lifestyle as a Tour professional at various golfing locations across the world.
All Duca del Cosma shoes are hand-crafted in Europe using the finest Italian leather selected from the best tanneries around the world. In order for golfers to compliment a multitude of golfing outfits, each shoe purchase comes with two pairs of laces in different colors.
