(Miami, FL) — Original Penguin Golf, a division of Perry Ellis International, is excited to announce the signing of PGA TOUR® winner Danny Lee as a brand ambassador. Lee will be making his debut this week in Orlando wearing OPG’s Spring 2021 collection.
“Danny Lee is a proven winner on the PGA TOUR® and we are thrilled to welcome him as an Original Penguin ambassador,” said Oscar Feldenkreis, CEO of Perry Ellis International. “Danny is a very talented player with an established and impressive resume including winning the US Amateur and Johnnie Walker Classic as an amateur, being a member of the International President’s Cup team and participating in the 2016 Olympics. We are confident that 2021 will be a very exciting year for Danny and we look forward to seeing him in the winner’s circle again soon.”
Original Penguin and Pete the Penguin have left their mark on a league of legends. For over 60 years, our namesake bird has been adorned and adored by the masters of leisure and sport to define itself as an American classic. Today, the Penguin icon still stands as a signal for those who know how to be an original.
“I am thrilled to partner with an iconic brand like Original Penguin. For me to be able to wear a brand that was made famous by golf and cultural legends is an honor,” stated Lee. “With Original Penguin’s formula of modern fit, fashionable designs, performance materials and attention to detail, there’s no doubt I’ll be looking my best both on and off the course.”
