Polo Ralph Lauren announced today the sponsorship of
LPGA golfer Morgan Pressel, the 2005 Women's Amateur Champion and
second place finalist at the 2005 Women's US Open. She will wear Ralph
Lauren apparel both on and off the course and will appear in Ralph
Lauren Golf's advertising campaign due to break in April publications.
In addition, Morgan Pressel will appear in online videos featuring
golf and fashion tips at Polo.com. The Florida native joins world
championship names such as Tom Watson, Davis Love III, Luke Donald and
Jonathan Byrd as a Ralph Lauren sponsored golfer.
"Ralph Lauren has been a leader in the world of golf design for decades and we have worked closely with the sports' most influential athletes. Morgan is vibrant, talented, and embodies the future of golf. We are proud to be working with her," said David Lauren, Senior Vice President Advertising, Marketing, and Communications.
"I am pure 100% Ralph Lauren, on and off the course and have been wearing his clothes since I was 13 years old. I have always been somebody to wear bright colors. I think that some of the Polo colors you can't find anywhere else. That's one of the things that I love," said seventeen-year-old Ms Pressel.
Morgan Pressel's wardrobe will include an assortment of mesh Polo shirts, shorts, and skorts--all rooted in the design heritage of Ralph Lauren. Ralph Lauren Golf features luxury and technical performance wear for the woman who travels effortlessly between the course and the clubhouse. Ralph Lauren Golf Collection is available at select Ralph Lauren stores, private clubs and resorts across the nation, select specialty stores, and on Polo.com.
This has been a successful year for Ms. Pressel, who turned pro on November 17, 2005. In late December, the LPGA overlooked the minimum age requirement of eighteen and granted Ms. Pressel eligibility to play as a full member for the 2006 season.
