Renowned Danish shoemaker ECCO has agreed an extension to its seven-year sponsorship of the Ladies European Tour (LET).

As part of the agreement, ECCO is offering a footwear contract to the top ten players from LET Qualifying School, as well as three pairs of golf shoes to each of the top 30 qualifiers.

ECCO is also offering complimentary golf shoes to every member of the LET in exemption category 1-8, provided they agree to wear them exclusively during tournaments.

The LET staff will continue wearing ECCO golf shoes during all on-course activities and formal shoes at company events.

Alexandra Armas, executive director of the LET, was delighted with the announcement: “We are thrilled to continue our relationship with ECCO, a market leader in the design of comfortable, quality, luxury golf shoes. For the last seven years, ECCO has been an active partner of the LET and we appreciate the company’s continued support.”

“We are proud to continue the long-time partnership with the Ladies European Tour. We have seen a great development of the tour over the years and it gets more and more international which is in direct line with our position as the global leader in luxury footwear,” said Jesper Thuen, Sponsorship & Event Manager, ECCO Golf. “We look forward to providing the members of the LET with our outstanding comfort and distinguished styling.”

ECCO golf shoes are worn by Linda Wessberg, Carin Koch, Iben Tinning, Thomas Bjorn, Fred Couples, Stuart Appleby and Aaron Baddeley among other elite professional golfers worldwide.
