BOURBON, MO – Imperial Headwear announced its 100th Anniversary today and continued partnership with the PGA of America through the Golf Retirement Plus program. Imperial will be a Presenting Partner of Golf Retirement Plus, which supports individual PGA Members who are eligible to receive retirement account contributions from vendor partners such as Imperial. Both Imperial Headwear and the PGA of America celebrate their respective Centennial Anniversaries in 2016.
“The PGA of America is delighted that Imperial Headwear has extended its longstanding partnership with Golf Retirement Plus through 2018, in support of our PGA Professionals,” said Chief Revenue Officer Kevin Ring. “Since 2000, Imperial has contributed more than $1.8 million in royalties to the retirement savings accounts of PGA members, which positively reflects their impact on the golf industry. As the PGA and Imperial both celebrate our Centennial in 2016, our relationship continues to be strong.”
Imperial Headwear is among an elite group of golf companies to support Golf Retirement Plus at the Presenting Partner level. Only 10 other brands maintain this coveted status and financial level of support on an annual basis.
“As a leader in the golf industry, Imperial commits itself to a very high standard of quality and service,” said Mike Wrightson, General Manager at Imperial Headwear. “We want to make sure the core ambassadors of golf – PGA Professionals – are supported for their efforts in growing this great game everyday of their career.”
Imperial Headwear will unveil its 2016 line, which is highlighted by the anniversary-themed “One 9 One 6 Collection” and new “Imperial powered by Coolcore®” cooling products at the PGA Merchandise Show later this month. From Wednesday, Jan. 27 to Friday, Jan. 29 Imperial will exhibit in booth #2073 at the Orange County Convention Center.
