Burns & Wilcox renews sponsorship with golf-pro Webb Simpson
The deal marks the second extension the company has made with Simpson.
Burns & Wilcox announced Friday its renewed partnership with five-time PGA winner and winner of the 2018 Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass, Webb Simpson.
The deal marks the second extension the company has made with Simpson, who joined Team Burns & Wilcox as its second professional golf brand ambassador alongside reigning winner of the 2016 PGA Championship in New Jersey, Jimmy Walker, in January 2017.
The Burns & Wilcox company logo can be found on the golfer’s shirt and golf bag. Walker showcases the Burns & Wilcox logo on the right side of his golf shirt. Walker’s caddie, Andy Sanders, wears the logo on his right sleeve, and Simpson’s caddy, Paul Tesori, wears the logo on his hat.
Burns & Wilcox representatives say the company attributes its growing brand awareness to its sports marketing efforts, including their sponsorship with alternate captain and left wing of the 11-time Stanely Cup Champions, Justin Abdelkader. Burns & Wilcox reps say these brand ambassadors share the same values of integrity, hard work, competitiveness and professionalism that they wish to reflect the Burns & Wilcox brand and culture.
