PGA of Canada and ECCO Announce National Partnership

The PGA of Canada is pleased to announce a new national partnership with ECCO.

The agreement sees the innovative Danish shoe manufacturer come on board as an official partner of the PGA of Canada and become a strong supporter of the association’s highly successful digital publication, PRO:FILES.

“The PGA of Canada is very excited to be starting a new relationship with ECCO,” says PGA of Canada CEO, Gary Bernard. “ECCO is an international player in the shoe manufacturing world and their commitment to the PGA of Canada and our PGA professionals is something we greatly appreciate.”

Founded in 1963, ECCO is one of the few major shoe manufacturers in the world to own and manage every step of the shoemaking process. Today, ECCO products are sold in 94 countries at 1,350 ECCO stores, 1,812 shop-in-shops and a total of 15,000 sales points around the world. The company is family-owned and the workplace to 18,500 employees from over 50 countries.

“We are proud to partner with the PGA of Canada, an organization that has help solidify ECCO as the preferred premium footwear brand within Canada,” says Todd Davidson, National Sales Manager of ECCO’s Sport Division. “We take pride in delivering a consistent brand and product experience for consumers by ensuring quality materials and construction via global production within ECCO owned and operated tanneries and factories. ECCO is excited to be associated with the PGA of Canada who embrace the same core values and industry leading reputation in development, innovation and progressive change within Canada”.

The ECCO men’s golf collection is worn in competition by scores of international tour stars, including Graeme McDowell, Ernie Els, Thomas Bjørn, Marcel Siem, Thongchai Jaidee, Stuart Appleby, Andreas Hartø, Wu Ashun, JB Hansen and many others.

ECCO’s design philosophy is rooted in the founder’s approach to being a shoemaker—the shoe must follow the foot. The shoes of ECCO are anchored in functionality, quality and craftsmanship on the platform of Scandinavian design.
