Galvin
Green, the premium hi-tech golf apparel brand, has scripted a host of bold
outfits headlined by the latest ultra-modern shirt styles for three of its
leading Tour ambassadors taking part in The Open Championship at Royal Troon
next week.
They include last month’s European Open
champion Laurie Canter and fellow Englishman Jordan Smith, fresh
from a strong showing at the BMW International Open where he finished in a tie
for 2nd. The duo will be joined by Sweden’s Alexander Björk,
who secured his PGA TOUR card for 2024 after finishing 11th in last
season’s Race to Dubai rankings.
The colourful outfits are centred around three
premium shirt styles from the Part Two shirt collection launched by the market-leading
sustainable golf apparel brand last month. Here are the wardrobe choices that
the three Team Galvin Green Tour stars are set to wear during the eagerly
anticipated event.
Laurie Canter will be wearing the sophisticated
MILLER
short-sleeve shirt featuring an all-over golf ball print that is set to
catch the eye of spectators on the challenging Ayrshire layout. Laurie has been
scripted to wear the shirt in four different colours – Black/Atlantis Green
(Thursday); Alaskan Blue/Navy (Friday); White/Cool Grey (Saturday); and Navy/White
(Sunday) – along with the matching NIXON
trousers in corresponding Black, Navy and Grey.
Jordan Smith comes into the final men’s
major of the year in hot form and will start the week in the distinctive MACOY
shirt in Navy/Red/White on Thursday, followed by the striking MELVIN
style in Black/White (Friday) and the vibrant Atlantis Green (Saturday) and
Cool Grey/White (Sunday) colours. The mechanical stretch NIXON
trousers, available in an unmatched choice of 16 different size options,
complete Smith’s outfit choices for his tenth major championship appearance.
Alexander Björk, who has played in Galvin
Green apparel since turning Professional in 2009, will be looking to build on
his best major finish of tied 17th at Hoylake last year wearing the
sporty MILO
shirt inspired by nerve signals connecting the human mind and body. The
Swede will also wear the NIXON
pants in three colours – Cool Grey, Navy and Black.
“These premium outfits have been designed
to ensure our Tour Ambassadors look the part in front of huge global audiences
and perform at the highest levels on the biggest stage,” said Conor Petters,
Marketing Manager UK & Ireland. “Wearing our performance driven designs will
hopefully give Team Galvin Green the edge to play their best golf at Royal
Troon next week and we wish the guys all the very best,” he added.
All VENTIL8Ô PLUS
shirts and trousers provide excellent moisture-transportation properties and
breathability to keep the body dry, while offering UV 20+ protection in warmer
temperatures. Easy to maintain, the garments also dry quickly and without the
need to iron.
The players will also look to the
responsibly sourced Galvin Green outerwear and mid-layers from the latest
apparel lines where more than 80% of garments are crafted using sample-tested, bluesign® or
Oeko-Tex® Standard 100-approved fabrics, as outlined in the brand’s recently
published Sustainability
Review.
