Luxury Italian golf fashion brand Duca del Cosma has today announced the signing of LPGA Tour players Jasmine Suwannapura and Polly Mack to wear its latest premium handcrafted golf shoes on a global basis from this week. The new members of Team Duca will all be seen wearing the latest styles at The Chevron Championship in Texas this week and they join a growing list of Tour ambassadors that includes Major Winner and Solheim Cup star Georgia Hall, fellow LPGA Tour golfer Kelly Tan, plus six-time DP World Tour winner Joost Luiten and Dutch Tour professional Daan Huizing.

Duca del Cosma signs two LPGA Tour Players

“We’re thrilled to be supporting yet more top Tour players and believe our new ambassadors will help attract more women golfers to our distinctive golf shoe range offering unmatched performance and style,” said Frank van Wezel, Chairman of Duca del Cosma. “We’re so proud to be supporting all the players that make up Team Duca and we’ll be cheering our superstars on as the first women’s major of the year gets underway this week,” he added.

Three-time Tour winner Jasmine Suwannapura will be looking to add to her two top-10 finishes already this year and has selected the sporty Wildcat and vibrant Giordana shoes to depend upon throughout the season. The Thai star’s career highlights include wins at the 2018 Marathon Classic and 2019 Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational on the LPGA Tour, 2013 Hero Indian Women’s Open on the Ladies European Tour, plus a 2 nd place finish at the 2020 AIG Women’s Open at Royal Troon.

Promising talent Polly Mack turned pro two years ago after an impressive Amateur career that saw her represent the University of Alabama Crimson Tide women’s golf team between 2019 and 2022. The 24-year-old German went on to secure both her LPGA Tour and LET cards in an impressive rookie season where she achieved a T3 finish at the Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational with an top scoring average of 65 over four rounds. Mack has also chosen to wear the chic Giordana shoe during her busy playing schedule.

Duca del Cosma supports Korn Ferry Tour players

The brand will also be supporting Australian Brett Drewitt and American Evan Harmeling on the Korn Ferry Tour for the forthcoming season as both players look to secure their playing rights on the PGA Tour for next year. Drewitt has two professional wins to his name including most recently the Lincoln Land Championship presented by LRS in 2020, while Harmeling captured the Savannah Golf Championship in the same year to secure his first Tour victory. “Brett and Evan are making great strides in their playing careers and we’re delighted to play a part in both their journeys. We can’t wait to see even more Duca del Cosma shoes being worn on Tour this year and we’ll be rooting for Team Duca each week,” added van Wezel.

Duca del Cosma sells its premium shoes in more than 40 different countries and operates from four offices around the world – The Netherlands (HQ), the United States, United Kingdom and South Africa.

LPGA Tour player Alison Lee signs as Ecco Golf ambassador

Leaders in golf shoe innovation, ECCO GOLF, have announced the signing of LPGA Tour star Alison Lee to its team of brand ambassadors. The 29-year-old Los Angeles native brings a wealth of talent and joins off the back of her most impressive year on tour to-date.

Alison Lee becomes brand ambassador for Ecco Golf

The World Number 18’s journey into professional golf was meteoric, going from college golfer to LPGA Tour player in just a year and a half, before featuring at the 2015 Solheim Cup for Team USA.

Whilst Lee is still chasing her first LPGA Tour victory, she has stepped into the winners’ circle twice on the Ladies European Tour to-date, having won the Aramco Team Series Sotogrande in 2021, and the Aramco Team Series Riyadh in 2023.

Lee, who has been a fan of ECCO GOLF shoes for a number of years, will step into the 2024 season wearing ECCO GOLF TRAY. “I can’t wait to get started in 2024 wearing ECCO GOLF shoes. They are by far the most comfortable golf shoes I’ve ever worn, and having the opportunity to take the next step with the brand as a global ambassador is a wonderful opportunity,” she commented.

Timo Vollrath, Head of Global Marketing at ECCO GOLF, expressed his excitement about the new partnership: “We are thrilled to welcome Alison to the ECCO GOLF family,” he said. “Her impressive journey in golf perfectly embodies the values we have here at ECCO. We believe this partnership can help to elevate Alison’s game, and we’re excited to work with her in 2024 and beyond.”

The Ecco Golf Tray: a sporty sneaker for the golf course

The breathable and water-repellent golf sneaker seems to have won over Alison Lee. Thanks to Ecco’s Hydromax technology and a hard-wearing leather upper, the white studded shoe is said to be water-repellent and support good performance even in bad weather. The DriTan technology is said to save a lot of chemicals and water during the tanning process of the shoes.
In addition, the E-DTS Twist sole with enlarged studs in high-wear areas ensures good grip in many conditions, according to Ecco Golf. The removable insole is also padded and breathable for even more comfort. With many exciting color variations, the shoe is also a visual highlight, which will also be seen on the fairways of the LPGA Tour in the future.
