Golf: Danish Ecco Reports Signing Deal With International Tour Star Arjun Atwal

Renowned Danish shoemaker Ecco announces the addition of international Tour star Arjun Atwal to the roster of elite staff players who prefer the comfort, performance and styling of its luxury market leading golf shoes.


 As part of this multi-year agreement, Atwal will wear ECCO’s distinctive World Class collection golf shoes exclusively during all on-course activities, appear at company functions and in the brand’s promotional campaigns.
