Knockaround Continues Strategic Growth in Golf with First Women’s Golf Partner
SAN DIEGO — Knockaround, the San Diego–based eyewear brand known for durable, approachable performance and lifestyle sunglasses, is proud to announce its newest athlete partner: professional golfer Danielle Kang.
Known for her fiery competitive spirit, magnetic personality, and genuine connection with fans, Kang embodies the Knockaround ethos—bold, original, and authentic. As one of the most prominent American golfers of her generation, she brings a unique blend of passion, creativity, and charisma to Knockaround, joining a roster that thrives on individuality and a love for the game. A longtime fan of the brand, Kang’s partnership with Knockaround is a natural fit, rooted in shared enthusiasm and a mutual commitment to standing out on the green.
A six-time LPGA Tour winner, 2017 KPMG Women’s PGA Champion, four-time Solheim Cup team member, and Olympian for Team USA at the 2020 Tokyo Games, Danielle Kang has been a force in women’s golf for over a decade. Off the course, she brings an equally dynamic energy and multidimensional mindset—artistic, musical, and innately creative. Her background in martial arts and early aspirations of becoming an Olympic athlete are a testament to her deep-seated athleticism, discipline, and drive.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Danielle to the Knockaround family,” says Ed Rainey, Chief Marketing Officer at Knockaround. “Much like Joel Dahmen, Harry Higgs, Mark Hubbard, and Peter Malnati, Danielle brings a unique combination of personality, authenticity, and competitive edge that aligns with who we are as a brand. As the Official Eyewear of the PGA TOUR—and as we continue to bring a fresh perspective to the game—we’re excited for Danielle to be a key part of our momentum.”
“I’m incredibly excited to partner with Knockaround — a brand that reflects so many things I care about: fashion, style, giving back, and a commitment to performance at the highest level,” says Danielle Kang. “The Knockaround team has been amazing to work with, and I’m truly looking forward to representing the brand on tour alongside their talented roster of PGA TOUR ambassadors.”
