Ian Watts, sports marketing director – Europe, for TaylorMade-adidas Golf, said, “We are delighted to extend our relationship with the Scottish Golf Union for a further three years on the back of what has been a hugely successful partnership.
“Amateur golf in Scotland has been particularly successful in recent years, with some outstanding individual performances as well as at team level, notably last year’s Home Internationals victory. We recognise the work the Scottish Golf Union has done in developing talent and growing the game and are proud to play a part in their continued success.”
Ross Duncan, marketing & sponsorship manager for the SGU, added, “Our partnership with TaylorMade-adidas Golf reflects the profile of the Scottish Golf Union and the success of amateur golf in Scotland in recent years.
“Performances on the course have played a big part in attracting a brand with TaylorMade-adidas Golf’s stature, whilst our marketing and business strategy is very much in line with TaylorMade-adidas Golf’s own positioning.”
