FootJoy, the #1 Shoe and Glove in Golf, has commenced the 2012 PGA Tour season in great style as Brand Ambassador Steve Stricker overcame a field packed with big names at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions at the Plantation Course at Kapalua in Hawaii, to claim victory in the first PGA Tour event of the season. Seasoned-veteran Stricker carded a final-round 4-under 69 to move to 23-under par and claim a three-stroke victory over his nearest competitor.

Spurred on by a scintillating 10 under par 63 in Saturday’s second round, the 44 year-old Wisconsin native trusted all week in the cutting-edge stability of the FJ DryJoys Tour golf shoe and the outstanding fit and feel of the FJ PureTouch Glove. The victory is the 12th win of his illustrious career and cements his position as the leading American in the Official World Golf Rankings, at #5.

The two-time Ryder Cup star was also kitted-out head to toe in FootJoy’s all-new 2012 FJ Performance Apparel Collection that is set to go on sale in stores around the UK at the beginning of March. This stunning all-encompassing clothing collection features technical fabrics, golf-conscious construction and fashionable styles across an array of contemporary colour stories.

“We are thrilled for Steve after pulling through for a superb victory over a high-class field of proven winners at The Hyundai Tournament of Champions. With the impending launch of our new Footwear, Glove and Performance Apparel Collections, it was great to see our long term Brand Ambassador leading the way in the new Apparel on the world’s biggest stage” commented Russell Lawes, European Marketing Manager, FootJoy.

Whether it is the all-round excellence of the FJ ICON™, the reliability and consistent performance of the new DryJoys Tour™, or the comfort of the FJ Sport, FootJoy remains the overwhelming favourite for golfers of all abilities around the world.
