Arnie — a partnership between Arnold Palmer Enterprises and the co-founders of Quagmire Golf clothing — announces that PGA Tour star and style icon Ryan Moore has become the brand ambassador for the new golf and lifestyle apparel line directly inspired by Arnold Palmer’s classic looks from the 1950s, 60s and 70s.

As part of this multi-year agreement, Moore will exclusively wear Arnie during all competitions, display the logo on his shirts, make appearances on behalf of the company and be featured in its marketing initiatives.

“Mr. Palmer is among my all-time idols as a golfer and a person, so competing in these clothes and being so closely associated with his style legacy is a dream come true,” says Moore. “The research that went into each piece is really evident and when you combine those timeless elements with advanced technical fabrics you’ve got something great.”

Consistently ranked among the sport’s top-50 players, Moore has garnered worldwide acclaim for his skill as well as his attire, which has included throwback looks like skinny neck ties, cardigans and vests. In six full seasons on the PGA Tour, the 29-year-old American has one win, six runner-ups and an additional 20 top-10 finishes. Prior to turning pro, he had one of the best amateur careers in history, highlighted by a 2004 season that included victories at the U.S. Amateur, U.S. Public Links, NCAA Championship, Western Amateur and Sahalee Players Championship.

“When we discussed the guy to become the modern face of Arnie, Ryan was No. 1 on everyone’s list,” says Geoff Tait, Creative Director for Arnie and Quagmire. “He truly gets our vision and is a dapper guy who’s always moving mainstream menswear trends onto the fairways.”

To complement Nike Golf’s industry-leading Tour Performance line of apparel, the Nike Golf Sport Collection delivers new style choices. With bold and statement-making styles, Nike Golf’s Spring 2012 Sport Collection empowers athletes to show their true colors and express themselves both on and off the course through the passion of sport.

Nike Golf apparel exudes high energy, but the 2012 Sport Apparel collection goes further in delivering youthful styling to golfers who want an exuberant, expressive look. The Sport Collection features new designs for polos, cover-ups, pants, shorts and headwear that represent a vibrant and irreverent passion for golf as a modern and athletic game for all ages and attitudes.

The Sport Collection features playable, technical golf apparel that integrates Dri-FIT and cotton-blend fabrication to keep golfers cool and comfortable. The materials signal a return to the comfort in performance Dri-FIT blends for a more relaxed and casual attitude, but are still designed and styled to be authentic to golf. Silhouettes in the Nike Sport Collection are trim and tidy. With a slightly slimmer fit and cotton-blend fabrics, the Sport Collection styles are bold and stylish.

Color is the noise in the Nike Sport collection with an emphasis on Safety Orange, an iconic Nike staple, in both body colors and details. Notable among the new releases is the Jersey Swoosh polo (MSRP $75.00) and the Sport Heather Pant (MSRP $110). The Jersey Swoosh polo has a sleek-fitting cut, a variety of bold seasonal colors and Nike’s patented Dri-FIT technology. The Sport Heather pant is a new slim-fit cut that uniquely blends classic fashion with modern details for golfers who want to look stylish while maximizing their performance on the course.

“Our Men’s and Women’s Sport Collections provide an exciting new apparel line with a different point of view towards the sport of golf,” said Doug Reed, Global Category Business Director, Nike Golf Apparel and Footwear. “This collection gives consumers an alternate way to enhance their ‘expression of golf attitude and style’ both on and off the golf course. The Nike Golf Sport Collection gives the athlete a new look and feel for golf apparel that moves beyond the traditional boundaries of golf.”

Wagner of the U.S. drives off the first tee during the final round of the Sony Open golf tournament at the Waialae Country Club in Honolulu, Hawaii

Earlier this week at Waialae Country Club, Johnson Wagner told TaylorMade Tour representative Paul Loegering that with the R11S, he had “never been able to hit is driver so long, high and straight.” Wagner, a new member to the TaylorMade Tour Staff in 2012, used his new white driver and a lot of confidence to pull away from a congested field at the Sony Open for his third PGA Tour win of his career.

The all-white, USGA maximum 460cc R11S features a 3° Flight Control Technology (FCT) sleeve and an all-new 5-way Adjustable Sole Plate (ASP) which allows the golfer to find their optimum address set-up – a proprietary setting not found in any other driver. Combined with TaylorMade’s Movable Weight Technology (MWT), the new R11S driver can be tuned for 80 separate launch settings, making it the most adjustable driver in golf.

Last week at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions, Wagner finished in the Top 10 and now sits atop the 2012 FedExCup points race.

Johnson Wagner’s Setup for the 2012 Sony Open:

• Driver:TaylorMade R11S driver 8*
• Fairway Wood: TaylorMade Burner SuperFast 2.0 fairway 15*
• Irons: Titleist CB712 3-9
• Wedges: Vokey Design 248.06, 254.10, 60E
• Putter: Scotty Cameron prototype
• Golf Ball: Titleist Pro V1x
• Apparel:Ashworth Mesh Back Pocket Polo: AM1377 Navy

2012 will be a stand-out year for Sunice Silver as it broadens its horizons into the US marketplace with a technical polo that is truly unlike any other polo in the market. At the core of this collection is the most conductive element known to man, silver.

Sunice is a well-known leader in high performance technical fabrics. When entering the golf shirt category our sole focus was to identify a fabric technology that would be unique to the market and deliver the highest level of performance available on the market.

X-Static® is the ultimate example of the fusion of various types of performance characteristics into one fabric.

By permanently bonding a layer of pure silver to the surface of a textile fiber, we are able to offer golfers the benefits of pure silver. The performance of this garment will not wash away. X-Static® visible technology (you can see the silver fibers in the shirt – evident by looking at the backside of the shirt) offers performance features incomparable to any other moisture wicking collection.

X-Static Fabric Features:

Thermodynamic
Thermal conductivity: In warm weather, when conduction is the primary means of heat transfer, X-Static® enhances the body’s natural actions by accelerating the conduction from the body. Apparel without X-Static® technology would simply be a barrier to heat conduction. Silver is the most thermally conductive element on the planet. X-Static®, therefore, works quickly to evenly distribute and transfer heat through the product.

Moisture Wicking
X-Static® enhances the natural movement of moisture through hydrophobic materials by using evaporation. When X-Static® is placed in a moist environment with another hydrophobic material;the conductivity of X-Static® will act to accelerate evaporation. This allows for moisture to be transported away from the body faster creating a dryer, more comfortable environment.

Anti-odor
Odor comes from bacteria or microbes. The anti-microbial characteristics of silver prevent the growth of bacteria therefore eliminating potential odors.

ALL NATURAL
100%. Safe and non-toxic, containing no chemical or pesticides.

Anti-STATIC
X-static® fabric will dissipate electrostatic charges allowing the garment to move more freely and not stick to your body or another layer.

Nike athlete Tiger Woods is back in the winners’ circle with a win at the Chevron World Challenge that came in a stunning dramatic “Tiger-like” fashion.

With two holes left to play in the final round, Woods needed a critical birdie putt on the 17th to tie and another one on the 18th to win. He accomplished both by making the 15-foot birdie putt on 17 and a 10-footer to seal his victory on 18, using his Nike Method 001 putter. This marks his first win with the Nike Method putter and the 36th Method victory for Nike Golf on the worldwide professional tours.

Tiger Woods Setup for the 2011 Chevron World Challenge:

• Driver: Nike VR Tour 8.5-degree (Graphite Design DI 6X)
• Fairway Woods: Nike VR Pro Limited Edition 3-wood/15-degree and 5-wood/19-degree
• Irons: Nike VR Pro Blades (3-PW)
• Wedges: Nike VR Pro 56-degree and Nike VR Pro 60-degree
• Putter: Nike Method 001
• Ball: Nike ONE Tour D
• Apparel: Nike Golf’s Tiger Woods Collection
• Footwear: Nike TW Free-Inspired Prototype Shoe

“My iron play was pretty steady all week,” said Woods. “But I think that I hit two really good iron shots in the last two holes, which was nice. I made two good putts, too.”

On the body, Tiger wore Nike Golf apparel from the Tiger Woods Collection as well as the new Nike TW Free-inspired prototype golf shoes that emphasize natural motion in the feet. These Nike prototype shoes will become available in late Spring of 2012.

How would you like a chance to win an autographed Arnold Palmer polo from the new Quagmire Golf Arnie Wear line? All you have to do is “Like” the Arnie Wear  facebook page for a chance to win an autographed polo from Arnold Palmer.

Imbued with the casual aesthetic that distinguished Palmer as a trend setter and style icon on and off the course, each piece is designed, crafted and detailed to meet the exceptionally high standards set by the man himself.

About the Arnie Wear Collection

Retailing from $79 and up, Arnie is set for three deliveries in 2012, each with a distinct aesthetic:

• 1950s Collection (February)
During this period, Palmer showcased slim, clean-fitting clothes. His tops were distinguished by short plackets, small collars and shorter sleeves. Palmer tended to prefer his pants fitted and his outfits were often highlighted by the color blue, which is exclusively found in the 1950s collection.

• 1960s Collection (April)
When Palmer was dominating the competition, he was also looking the part. Wider legged pants, wider collars and longer shirt plackets were the style of the day. No golfer of the era looked as naturally cool as Palmer, especially in his staple color of red, which is exclusively found in the 1960s collection.

• 1970s Collection (July)
While piloting his own plane around the world, Palmer’s wardrobe continued to evolve and set trends. He chose shirts that reflected the style of the day, with slightly wider collars and long plackets, but the fit of his pants more closely resembled a modern boot cut. His color palette also became more subdued, hence grey being the signature color exclusive to
the 1970s collection.
