World-leaders in Golf sign on to support UAE's Professional Golfers' Association

The UAE PGA has added two more corporate heavy-weights to their list of supporters through an agreement with local sporting goods wholesaler and distributor, Prosports International, which sees the world-renowned golf brands of FootJoy and Titleist become Official Partners.

Titleist currently holds the number one position as favoured golf ball on the US PGA Tour, a title held since 1949, so it seems fitting this ball should be recognised as the UAE PGA's official ball. All golfers will agree that the golf shoe is an integral piece of equipment, silently supporting their game. The FootJoy golf shoe is also able to boast a number one ranking on the PGA Tour, a claim that they have held for over 60 years, and a claim which now rests alongside being the UAE PGA's official footwear.

Offering over 20 tournaments in the UAE PGA's calendar, with outstanding involvement from high profile Patrons in the Al Naboodah Group, Acuma Wealth Management, Auriga and TNT, this new partnership adds another strong layer in the PGA's efforts to provide quality benefits to its members.

"It goes without saying that we are delighted to have these two great brands on board as Official Partners" said Julian Danby, UAE PGA Chief Executive, "Titleist and FootJoy are synonymous with the game of golf and we sincerely thank the Senior Management of Prosports International for the support extended to the UAE PGA and its' members".

Prosports International's General Manager of Sales and Marketing, David Stevenson added "Titleist and FootJoy have a long history of supporting PGAs, and their members, across the globe. We at Prosports, as the exclusive distributor of Titleist and FootJoy products for region, are proud to assist with UAE PGA's efforts and look forward to building a long and mutually beneficial relationship".
