R&A Joins Team Ralph Lauren RLX Golf!
/For Immediate...well, for release, but not on the R&A News page. Unlike the USGA, they do not seem so proud of their new association.
Premium lifestyle brand and retailer Ralph Lauren has signed a five year partnership with golf's governing body, the R&A, to become an official patron of golf's Open Championship.
The agreement, which runs until July 31, 2016, will see Ralph Lauren outfit all officials and staff members at The Open Championship as well as providing a selection of Ralph Lauren RLX Golf and Polo Golf apparel for men and women as well as a selection of Ralph Lauren kidswear in the on-site retail area.
The brand will also create a one-off Polo Golf men's collection celebrating the Royal Lytham and St Annes 2012 Open Championship.
