European Brand Director, Helen Willsmer, commented: “We wish Cam the very best of luck at Royal Liverpool Golf Club as he seeks to successfully defend his coveted Open title. Cam embodies what it means to be an original with his unique style and approach to golf. We are proud to have Cam endorse our brand and watch him connect with fans around the globe who share his passion for the game and our clothing.”
Cam begins his campaign on Thursday wearing the company’s much-loved Heritage Polo, that takes design inspiration from the Earl Polo, one the most iconic of Penguin Polos, that has been a consistent feature of the line since the company was formed in 1955.
On championship Sunday, Cam - only the fifth Australian in history to lift the Claret Jug - opts for his now default final day colour, wearing The Heritage Polo in Rose Bouquet (pink).
To counter any chill winds across the Royal Liverpool links, Cam has opted for a range of layering garments from the company’s forthcoming Autumn/Winter ’24 collection, including the Long Sleeve 80s Bomber Colour Block Jacket, the ¼ Zip 90s Colour Block Wind Jacket and a Trademark Printed Wind Jacket, featuring a bold ‘Pete’ print.
