Today PUMA® announced twenty-year old golfer Rickie Fowler, who just turned professional, will join the sportlifestyle brand’s roster of world-class athletes, among them: track and field star Usain Bolt, baseball player, Johnny Damon, and race car driver, Kasey Khane. The partnership, reached through an agreement with PUMA and SFX Golf, will make the sportlifestyle brand Fowler’s official supplier of PUMA Golf product on and off the course.

Who Is Rickie Fowler?
Once a promising motocross competitor, Rickie turned his attention to competitive golf at the age of 14. As a student and golfer at Oklahoma State, Fowler made a name for himself on – and off – the course. As a freshman, he was the youngest recipient of the 2008 Ben Hogan Award, given to the nation’s top men’s college golfer, and he earned the coveted Phil Mickelson Award the very same year. For the past two years, Fowler has been ranked as the world’s #1 amateur and was also part of two Walker Cup Teams.

“It’s an honor to be part of a brand like PUMA that is so fun and light hearted but also serious when it comes to sport,” said Fowler. “The PUMA Golf line has all of the features I need to play the game well while allowing me to express my personality with great styles and a unique look, whether I’m playing golf or just hanging out with my friends.”

Fowler joins more than 60 golf players worldwide who are supported by PUMA including, Geoff Ogilvy, Jeff Overton, Hideto Tanihara, Johan Edfors, Erica Blasberg, Anna Nordqvist, Jade Schaeffer and many more names and faces around the globe. With a design concept that focuses on individuality, newness and color, the brand offers key elements of versatility, lightweight and innovative technology. PUMA Golf is a perfect mix of performance and lifestyle and is worn by PUMA’s pro golfers worldwide and continues to bring attitude and change to a tradition-laden sport.
