“I am really excited about joining the team at Tommy Hilfiger,” said Keegan Bradley. “Tommy Hilfiger is an iconic American brand and I am extremely proud to be a part of its growth in golf going forward. The brand produces fantastic apparel for wear both on and off the golf course and in my opinion, if you look good, you play good!”
“Keegan’s style, values and determination make him an ideal person to have on our team,” said Mark Fletcher, President of Fletcher Leisure Group. “The timing could not be better as Keegan’s game has great momentum as does the Tommy Hilfiger brand.”
The Spring 2012 collection is inspired by the preppy, energetic spirit of the Tommy Hilfiger brand. Adding a twist to signature classic American sensibility, the collection’s technical performance fabrics focus on style and fit. Through a licensing agreement with Fletcher Leisure Group, the men’s and women’s golf line is available in the U.S., Canada and Europe at private and public golf clubs, golf specialty stores, sport specialty stores, resort accounts, and corporate accounts, as well as tommy.com.
Targeting men and women golfers, the collection offers a wide selection of garments with approximately 100 styles for men with expected retail prices ranging from $65 (€60/£50) for short-sleeved polos to $120 (€140/£115) for sophisticated outerwear options. The versatile women’s collection includes approximately 75 styles with expected retail prices ranging from $65 (€60/£50) for bermudas and polos to $120 (€140/£115) for knits and outerwear.
