Twenty years after it first linked up with him, Swedish fashion brand J.Lindeberg has announced the continuation of its longstanding partnership with PGA Tour champion Camilo Villegas.
Known for his strong sense of style, the 42-year-old Columbian, who is a five-time winner on the PGA Tour, will once again bring his flair and expertise to the J.Lindeberg golf collection.
Villegas, affectionately dubbed ‘Spider-Man’ because of his unique horizontal and angular approach to reading putts, has been a popular figure on the global tours, and especially in his native Columbia, since turning professional in 2004 following a successful college career at the University of Florida.
Villegas’ latest PGA Tour victory came at last November’s Butterfield Bermuda Championship, where he clinched his fifth PGA Tour title more than 15 years after he won his first at the 2008 BMW Championship.
Speaking about renewing his partnership with J.Lindeberg, which will see him working with the company’s product development and design team on future golf apparel collections, Villegas said: “Continuing my journey with J.Lindeberg feels like coming full circle, reflecting on all the fun we’ve had evolving together – from the days of big buckles and colourful attire to a more refined style.
“Our partnership has been a constant through the many changes in my career, and I’m so excited to see how we’ll continue to innovate and push the boundaries of golf fashion together.”
Hans-Christian Meyer, CEO at J.Lindeberg. said: “Camilo is everything J.Lindeberg stands for – pure dedication, inimitable style, and the tireless pursuit of excellence. His impact on the sport and his influence in golf fashion align perfectly with our brand’s vision, and we feel very proud to have him continue as a key ambassador for J.Lindeberg.”
