LACOSTE STRENGTHENS TIES WITH LADIES EUROPEAN TOUR

Open-de-France-Ladies-Lacoste-MarcaLACOSTE will continue as the Official Clothing Supplier of the Ladies European Tour in a new agreement running from 2016-2017.

 

The French brand, known for its quality and elegance, will dress the Ladies European Tour and LET Access Series staff for the next two years, continuing a successful sponsorship which began in 2009.

 

“We are delighted that LACOSTE will continue as the Ladies European Tour’s Official Clothing Supplier,” said LET CEO Ivan Khodabakhsh. “We are proud to wear the LACOSTE Crocodile, which is renowned worldwide for its sporting authenticity. Given LACOSTE’s strong golf heritage and global presence, having them as a sponsor enhances our brand.”

 

“With a unique heritage in the sporting world based on both its origins and its founder, the famous tennis champion René Lacoste, nicknamed «the Crocodile», whose wife Simone Thion de la Chaume and daughter Catherine Lacoste were both famous golf champions, Lacoste leads today an active sponsorship policy including the partnership with LET,” said Sandrine Conseiller, LACOSTE EVP Marketing and Branding Director.

 

Lacoste’s values of joie de vivre, elegance and authenticity are brought by ambassadors such as players like Cristie Kerr, Azahara Muñoz, Gwladys Nocera, Charley Hull, Alexander Levy, Benjamin Hebert, Raphaël Jacquelin, Lorena Ochoa, Patricia Meunier-Lebouc, Jose-Maria Olazabal and Jean Van De Velde.

 

With its presence in many tournaments, the brand continues its story in major tennis and golf events throughout the world year-round including The Evian Championship, LACOSTE Ladies Open de France and Lalla Meryem Cup on the Ladies European Tour.
