“It was a great week, and I have a lot of confidence in my
game,” said Matt Kuchar. “Staying comfortable on the course is key,
and I thank the team at Skechers for supporting me along the
way.”
“We’re exceptionally proud to be on Matt Kuchar’s team in what’s
already turning out to be a career season for this amazing
athlete,” said Michael Greenberg, president of Skechers. “His
dedication and will to pull through for victory is an inspiration,
and we love that fans are watching him do it all in Skechers GO
GOLF.”
Kuchar has been a leading and respected golfer since breaking
onto the golf scene as the U.S. amateur champion in 1998 and as a
pro he remains a perennial fixture atop leaderboards. He earned two
victories in a season for the first time in 2013 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. The
2019 season is already turning out to be notable, as he’s now
earned multiple titles in a single season for only the second time
in his career. With 100 top-10 finishes since 2001 and nine overall
Tour titles, Kuchar currently sits at number 22 on the Official
World Golf Rankings.
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.
