Puma delivers the perfect balance of sport, lifestyle and fashion for on and off course wear this season – helping golfers look better, feel better and play better.

CARLSBAD, Calif. (December 5, 2016) – PUMA Golf, a leader in golf apparel innovation, design and style, introduced its new Spring Summer ’17 Collection showcasing the brand’s lightest, most cutting-edge offerings to date for both men and women. The line boasts re-imagined essentials, next-gen materials, sophisticated, yet fun detailing and an evolved color palette that is sure to suit the style and performance preferences of a wide range of golfers.

PUMA Golf’s Spring Summer ’17 Collection is grounded in an innovative material story called Ultralite. Ultralite product is up to 30% lighter than prior generations ensuring a new level of comfort. The fabric used is extremely breathable, offers excellent moisture management and is minimally constructed for a cleaner look. Consumers will find Ultralite used in both PUMA Golf’s men’s and women’s selections in polos, bottoms, and outerwear for Spring Summer ’17.

“Athleisure continues to be pervasive across both fashion and performance brands, but with PUMA’s SportLifestyle heritage, it is truly authentic to our DNA. Thus, we are uniquely positioned to deliver on-trend, high performing, stylish clothing to the golf world,” said Kristin Hinze, Head of Apparel at PUMA Golf. “Our Spring Summer 17 collection takes the best of what is happening in fashion and streetwear and fuses it with technical elements that enhance on-course performance, ensuring a look that works from the first tee to the office and everywhere in between.”

This collection also signifies a maturation of the PUMA GOLF brand in terms of style and color palette. While the brand continues to be first-and-foremost about game enjoyment and making golf fun, the graphics and color offerings are evolving to be more inclusive of a wide array of golf style preferences.

“As Rickie’s and Lexi’s careers evolve and with the addition of Bryson DeChambeau as one of our key style icons going forward, we have achieved much more of balance in our color and designs than what has previously been our hallmark bright and bold looks,” said Hinze. “It is our goal to provide both our professional athletes and our everyday athletes with the finest performance available in designs that are true to their own personal style.”

Look for PUMA Golf staffers including Rickie Fowler, Lexi Thompson, Bryson DeChambeau, Graham DeLaet, Jonas Blixt, Will MacKenzie and Jesper Parnevik to be rocking apparel and accessories from the Spring Summer ’17 collection featuring PUMA Golf’s lightest garments ever, on Tour this year.
