Richmond Hill, Ont., July 19, 2018 – The Canadian Junior Golf Association (CJGA) is pleased to announce today a new partnership with Skechers Performance, a division of Skechers USA, Inc. The partnership will see the brand become the official apparel and footwear of the CJGA, outfitting all CJGA staff and volunteers in Skechers GO GOLF. CJGA Team Canada members will also be outfitted in Skechers golf apparel when representing the CJGA and Canada internationally.

Along with the gear, Skechers will host five Skechers Junior Series events across the country. These events will give CJGA members the opportunity to see and experience a range of Skechers GO GOLF products. Division winners will also receive a pair of the latest Skechers footwear. The five events include:

“We could not be happier to partner with Skechers and welcome them to the CJGA family,” stated Brad Parkins, COO of the CJGA. “Skechers is a family brand with a breadth of product lines that naturally align with the CJGA and our members. This partnership will benefit our juniors on the course, while also making an impact off the course to our extended network.”

“We’re excited to partner with the Canadian Junior Golf Association by helping to support the next generation of athletes in this sport,” said David Beecroft, Canadian country manager for Skechers. “It’s also a tremendous opportunity to introduce our footwear and apparel to young players at the grassroots level so they can experience for themselves how our lightweight and comfortable Skechers GO GOLF collection feels on the course.”

CJGA Alumna and six-time LPGA Tour winner Brooke Henderson is on the roster of elite golfers wearing Skechers GO GOLF alongside Matt Kuchar, Colin Montgomerie, Russell Knox, Wesley Bryan, Belén Mozo and Billy Andrade.
