Stamford, CT, July 18, 2008 --(PR.com)-- vineyard vines®, the Stamford-based apparel company best known for its elegant neckties, announced today its partnership with LPGA professional golfer Stacy Lewis.
A recent graduate of the University of Arkansas, Lewis has been called a “role model” off the course and her talent has already been compared to retiring great, Annika Sorenstam. In her first professional appearance at the US Women’s Open in Edina, Minnesota, Lewis tied for third after leading the tournament going into the final round. Throughout the rest of the 2008 season, Lewis will wear vineyard vines® shirts, pants and belts.
“We are incredibly excited to partner with such an amazing athlete who whole-heartedly embodies the essence of our brand,” commented Ian Murray, CEO and Co-founder of vineyard vines®. “We look forward to watching her success and continuing our partnership for many years to come.”
Lewis joins PGA professional Brett Quigley on the vineyard vines® sponsorship lineup. Both players showcase the vineyard vines® Golf Collection which was unveiled in 2007.
