Cutter & Buck, a leading manufacturer of upscale golf-inspired sportswear and outerwear, will launch its new collection of ‘CB Drytec’ polo shirts at the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship, which will run from January 18-21 at the Abu Dhabi Golf Club.
Volunteers and officials of the four-day Championship, a European Tour sanctioned event owned by the Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority, will be the first in the region to sport the latest C&B line and will also receive the newly designed ‘WindTec’ Wind Vest and cap.
“The Abu Dhabi Championship is exactly what we’re looking for to highlight the Cutter & Buck brand and to showcase its premium quality and specific designs for men and women, “said Tiffany Davis-Verginis, Brand Manager-Apparel, ProGolf – the Middle East distributor for Cutter & Buck.
“Each volunteer will receive two polo shirts, a windvest and a cap. The shirts and windvests will be classically styled, enhanced with rich silky texture and a quick-dry finish, so they won’t just look good but will be cool and dry.”
Apart from the latest Cutter & Buck apparel kit, volunteers will also receive pre-Championship training, free parking during the tournament and have access to a special ‘volunteers tent’ with food, refreshments and television. In addition, a week after the tournament – Sunday, January 28th – volunteers will get the chance to play a complimentary round of golf on the Championship course.
“This is the first Middle East event that Cutter & Buck has sponsored and is an important step for us,” added Davis-Verginis.
“Every item has been carefully selected for the event and will have a specially embroidered Championship logo featured on it.”
More than 350 volunteers have signed up as marshals, walking scorers and leader board scorers and other roles at the Championship.
