COBRA PUMA GOLF SIGNS PARTNERSHIP WITH BRYSON DECHAMBEAU
Cape Town, South Africa (April 13, 2016) – COBRA PUMA GOLF, a leader in golf
equipment, apparel, accessories and footwear, has announced a long-term partnership with
Bryson DeChambeau the 22-year-old phenom who last year became only the fifth golfer ever to
win the NCAA Men’s Individual Championship and the U.S. Amateur in the same calendar year.
DeChambeau, who is playing his first pro tournament this week at the RBC Heritage in Hilton
Head Island, S.C., will be wearing PUMA Golf apparel, accessories and footwear during all his
on-course play, incorporating his signature Hogan Driver Cap and Red, White & Blue ensemble
on Sundays, a nod to his alma mater – Southern Methodist University. Additionally, he will fill
his COBRA staff bag with COBRA Golf equipment during tournament play.
“Bryson has this unique combination of talent, ingenuity and personality that makes him such a
dynamic golfer and a great fit for the COBRA PUMA GOLF brands. He shares in our mission of
Game Enjoyment and our desire to grow the game and make it more fun and inclusive for
golfers of all levels,” said Robert Philion, President & CEO of COBRA PUMA Golf. “Right away we
noticed his progressive approach to the game, which is rooted in science and art, along with his
passion and dedication. We can’t be more thrilled to have him as part of our COBRA PUMA
GOLF family.”
“I believe that I found the perfect partner in COBRA PUMA GOLF,” said DeChambeau. “The
COBRA and PUMA brands complement my style, attitude and desire to be innovative, while
allowing me to continue to be myself, and think outside the box. I’m really thrilled to be part of
this cutting-edge and creative company.”

DeChambeau put a blue COBRA KING F6+ driver into play at the Arnold Palmer Invitational,
where he competed on a sponsor’s exemption and shot a final-round 66 to finish T-27. The F6+
Pro is the most adjustable driver COBRA has ever created – designed for better players that
prefer lower lofts. The new CarbonTrac system allows players to optimize launch, spin and ball
flight through ultra-low CG settings.
While an amateur, DeChambeau has been no stranger to golf’s biggest events, competing
against the best players in the world around the globe. In November, DeChambeau tied for
second at the Australian Masters after firing a closing 67. He followed that up in January by
making the cut in all three of the European Tour events he played in Abu Dhabi, Qatar and
Dubai. Last week he earned the Silver Cup honor for Low Amateur at the 2016 Masters. After
his professional debut this week on the venerable Harbour Town Golf Links, DeChambeau will
be afforded six more sponsors’ exemptions to try and earn his PGA TOUR card for the 2017
season.
Throughout the rest of the 2016 golf season, DeChambeau will be rocking footwear and apparel
from PUMA Golf’s Autumn, Winter ’16 collection including the new family of IGNITE footwear
designed for unrivaled performance and comfort.
