PUMA continues its support as Official Headwear and Apparel sponsor of Team Canada and Team Canada – NextGen
Extension will see PUMA outfit Canadian golf athletes at the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles
Toronto, ON – Golf Canada and PUMA Canada are proud to announce a long-term extension of their existing partnership with Golf Canada’s National Team Program.
The new four-year agreement sees PUMA continue as the Official Apparel and Headwear partner of Golf Canada’s National Team Program (Team Canada men’s and women’s teams and Team Canada – NextGen boy’s and girl’s teams). Team Canada players, coaches and support staff will continue to exclusively wear PUMA’s premium golf apparel and headwear when representing Team Canada.
The extension also confirms that the athletes and coaches named to Team Canada for the 2028 Olympic Games golf competition in Los Angeles will wear PUMA’s Golf apparel and headwear as part of the field-of-play uniform. The 2028 Olympic Games will also mark the debut of a mixed team golf event, featuring one male and one female player from each National Olympic Committee. Athletes that have qualified for their individual events are eligible to compete in the mixed team event.
“We are very happy to extend our partnership with PUMA and to ensure our Team Canada athletes and staff continue to be outfitted by the iconic brand,” Mark Palmer, Chief Commercial Officer, Golf Canada. “PUMA shares our vision for being a world leader in the game of golf and investing in the growth of our sport in Canada.”
The extension builds on a strong relationship between PUMA Canada and Golf Canada that was first announced in November 2021. The partnership ensured all members of the Team Canada program were outfitted with PUMA Golf apparel and headwear. The 2024 Olympic Games in Paris marked the first time that Canadian golf athletes wore PUMA products on the Olympic Games field-of-play.
“We are proud to extend our partnership with Golf Canada and set the stage for even greater success ahead,” said Dwayne Boecker, Vice President of COBRA PUMA GOLF. “The strong values and commitment we share in promoting golf and supporting the country’s next generation of great players and coaches are an excellent fit for our global brand. We look forward to continuing to outfit Team Canada and delivering high-performance products that empower athletes to reach their full potential on and off the course.”
Team Canada athletes, coaches and support staff will continue to wear official PUMA Golf apparel and headwear this season through to the end of 2028.
