“My game took an unexpected turn on the seventh hole, but I was
proud to be able to overcome that and regain my focus,” said Matt
Kuchar. “I really thank the team at Skechers for supporting me
along the way and making sure I stay comfortable on the
course.”
“Following his strong 2019 season, we believe Matt Kuchar’s win
in Singapore this weekend will be a bright omen for the season
ahead,” said Michael Greenberg, president of Skechers. “We’re proud
to be along for the ride as we watch and cheer with the fans.
Matt’s an important asset for the Skechers GO GOLF brand—a global
star in the sport who proves to golfers of all ages and abilities
that with dedication and focus it’s possible to energize their game
while feeling great on the course—be it 18 holes or a four-day
tournament.”
Kuchar has been a leading and respected golfer since breaking
onto the golf scene as the U.S. amateur champion in 1998 and as a
pro he remains a perennial fixture atop leaderboards. This past
season, he earned two victories in a season for the first time
since 2013 and also helped the U.S. squad beat the international
team at the Presidents Cup. In 2016, Kuchar won a bronze for the
United States at the Olympics and was also part of the victorious
U.S. team at the Ryder Cup. With more than 100 top-10 finishes
since 2001 and now ten overall Tour titles, Kuchar currently sits
at number 20 on the Official World Golf Rankings.
Kuchar was one of the first elite pros to join the Skechers
Performance Golf Team in 2014. The brand’s roster of elite golfers
wearing Skechers GO GOLF also includes Brooke Henderson, Colin
Montgomerie, and Billy Andrade. Kuchar has driven several Skechers
GO GOLF marketing campaigns with a series of humorous
commercials.
Known for its lightweight, high-quality, stable and comfortable
designs, Skechers GO GOLF has achieved prominence within the golf
category, alongside the brand’s award-winning running, walking and
training collections.
