“It’s terrific to be back in the winner’s circle, and I really
feel like my Skechers factored into my success,” said Matt Kuchar.
“Confidence and comfort are always critical components in how well
I play, and Skechers has designed incredible product that allows me
to focus on what I have to do on the course to be my best.”
“We’re proud to be part of Matt’s amazing game this weekend as
he secured this pivotal tournament win,” said Michael Greenberg,
president of Skechers. “To say it couldn’t happen to a nicer guy is
an understatement. Golf fans around the globe have followed his
career for two decades, and to see what he’s now accomplished is an
inspiration to all. As one of the first pros on our team, he’s been
an amazing asset for driving awareness and excitement for the
Skechers GO GOLF collection.”
Kuchar has been a leading and respected golfer since breaking
onto the golf scene as the U.S. amateur champion in 1998. Now with
eight Tour titles in his career, Kuchar is a perennial fixture atop
leaderboards. His 2013 season was especially notable, as he earned
two victories that year and also helped the U.S. squad beat the
international team at the Presidents Cup. In 2016, Kuchar won a
bronze for the United States at the Olympics and was also part of
the victorious U.S. team at the Ryder Cup. Yesterday, Kuchar
achieved his first win since 2014’s RBC Heritage.
Kuchar was one of the first elite pros to join the Skechers
Performance Golf Team in 2014. The brand’s roster of elite golfers
wearing Skechers GO GOLF also includes Brooke Henderson, Wesley
Bryan, Russell Knox, Colin Montgomerie, and Billy Andrade. Kuchar
has driven our Skechers GO GOLF marketing campaigns with a series
of humorous commercials.
