How has Louis Oosthuizen gained the full support of PING?


By: February 24, 2016


A few days ago I wrote about the brave design of the latest Nike Golf polos. Unfortunately, I cannot say that PING is following Nike Golf’s experimental attitude. However, recently, PING Apparel has added two new brand ambassadors for 2016, Rhys Davies and Jimmy Mullen, who will both wear PING apparel on tour.

At the same time, PING was able to retain(?) existing brand ambassadors like 2010 Open Champion, Louis Oosthuizen, 2015 European Solheim Cup captain Carin Koch, the two-time Major Champion, Angel Cabrera, just a few to mention.

Louis Oosthuizen will be wearing the Spring/Summer 2016 range, which, for the first time, will incorporate Coolmax All-Season technology, as well as other high-performance fabrics.

In the case of Louis Oosthuizen, it also means that he will not just wear PING apparel, but will play with PING golf clubs (recently signed a multi-year agreement) as well. 2015 was his second best year in terms of earnings (without winning) on the PGA Tour: $3,251,174
