Launching a new and exclusive golf apparel and footwear range with American Golf, Italian sports brand ellesse is expanding its footprint into the ancient game, signing six-time Ladies European Tour winner and Solheim Cup player Mel Reid as an ambassador.

It will be on sale in store and online at American Golf from 03 August 2020 with prices ranging from £17.99 to £69.99.

Reid earned the coveted LET Rookie of the Year honour in 2008 and has continued to become a global steward of the game with three Solheim Cup appearances in 2011, 2015 and 2017.
