Original Penguin Golf, a division of Perry Ellis International, has signed PGA Tour rookie Nico Echavarria as a brand ambassador. Echavarria is making his PGA Tour debut this season wearing the company’s Spring 2023 collection.
“We are thrilled to welcome Nico as our next Original Penguin brand ambassador,” said Oscar Feldenkreis, CEO of Perry Ellis International. “Nico is a very talented player whose style, personality and international background makes him a perfect fit for our Original Penguin team.”
An All-America at the University of Arkansas, former member of the Colombian World Amateur Team and winner of the Mexican Amateur and South American championships, Echavarria earned his 2023 Tour card by finishing 20th on the 2022 Korn Ferry Tour points list. He finished T-12 at this past month’s Sony Open in Hawaii.
Echavarria joins 2022 Open Champion Cameron Smith as brand ambassadors, along with PGA Tor players Danny Lee.
“We continue to grow the Original Penguin brand from the PGA, LPGA and Korn Ferry TOUR, with even more of the best players in the world wearing the Penguin icon,” Feldenkreis said.
