NOW IT’S OFFICIAL!

Peter Millar apparel and the Western Golf Association have extended their agreement for 3 more years.

But there is more good news. Peter Millar has agreed to fund in full, a second Evans Scholarship for a caddie to attend college.

So as a result of this extension. Peter Millar a casual attire sportswear company, will be a featured brand at WGA tournaments and ESF events through 2023.

Peter Millar has been providing pro-am gifts at the BMW Championship since 2018, and has been part of the volunteer uniforms. But in more recent years, the Millar brand has been added to the Evans Scholars Invitational (ESI) on the Korn Ferry Tour. It’s now part of the Western Junior and Western Amateur Championships.

“Peter Millar has shown an unwavering commitment to supporting our dual missions of conducting world-class golf championships and changing lives by awarding college scholarships,” said WGA President & CEO John Kaczkowski. “By establishing a second Endowed Named Scholarship, Peter Millar is providing another opportunity for a promising young student to attend college. As the Evans Scholars Program expands nationwide, we look forward to collaborating with Peter Millar to identify brand new opportunities for their brand.”

“The mission of the WGA/ESF has long been one that Peter Millar has admired and supported. Because caddies are one of the most important foundations and traditions of the game,” says Todd Martin, President Peter Millar Golf. “So many of the member clubs are wonderful partners to Peter Millar. Because over the last 10 years, our WGA/ESF partnership has grown every year through the championships, especially the BMW Championship. So without question, we are by far most proud that our company will be able to have a life altering impact for a young man or woman by providing them a four-year education through this Peter Millar Endowed Scholarship.”
