ECCO extends Contract with International Tour Star Thomas Bjorn

Under terms of the agreement, Bjorn will continue to exclusively wear ECCO golf shoes during all on-course activities and display the brand's logo on the collar of his golf shirt. The 37-year-old will also appear at company functions and be a focus of advertising and marketing campaigns.

"ECCO makes a product I truly believe in," says Bjorn. "The shoes help me perform my best under any conditions and I know this relationship means continued success."

The most successful Danish golfer in history, Bjorn's professional accomplishments span a decade. He has nine career wins, inclusing seven on the European Tour and two on the Japan Golf Tour. His 11 runner-up finishes include the 2000 and 2003 British Opens and the 2005 PGA Championship.

The first Dane to play in the Ryder Cup, Bjorn was a key contributor on the 1997 and 2002 teams.

"As the first professional player to endorse ECCO golf shoes, we have a longstanding partnership with Thomas," says Jesper Thuen, Sponsor and Event Manager, ECCO Golf. "It is important to us that we maintain our strong relationship with the world's best."
