Ecco retains Solheim Cup spot

Danish shoe manufacturer Ecco will resume its long-standing role as official footwear supplier to the European Solheim Cup at the 2015 edition of the women’s golf matchplay event.

Ecco will create special-edition shoes for Europe’s players, caddies and support staff when it defends its title against the US at Golf Club St. Leon-Rot, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

When Europe retained the cup at Colorado Golf Club in 2013 it was the fourth time Ecco had partnered the team at the biennial match.

Jesper Thuen, global marketing manager of Ecco Golf Lab, said: “This truly unique event has proven to be an exceptional showcase for the ECCO Golf collection and our company’s commitment to the women’s game.”
