\n\tCharles Tyrwhitt has signed Luke Donald, the European Ryder Cup captain and former number-one ranked golfer, as its newest global sports ambassador.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe signing marks the first professional golfer to join the brand\u2019s ambassador ranks.<\/p>\n
\n\tAs global sports ambassador, the 48-year-old Englishman will wear the Charles Tyrwhitt <\/a>collection for key events off the course. He will also be the face of the brand\u2019s summer campaign, \u201cSummer\u2019s in Swing,\u201d launching globally in May. The launch shoot for the campaign took place at The Bear\u2019s Club in Jupiter, Fla., the private course founded in 1999 by Jack and Barbara Nicklaus.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cWhile I still love to compete on the golf<\/a> course, I\u2019ve had the opportunity in recent years to spend more time speaking about leadership, performance and what it takes to build a winning team,\u201d Donald said. \u201cThose occasions \u2014 whether it\u2019s a formal dinner, a corporate event, or a fireside chat \u2014 require a different kind of preparation.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cI\u2019ve always believed that the details matter. The same care and precision I value in my preparation is what I look for in what I wear off the course. Charles Tyrwhitt\u2019s craftsmanship and timeless style feel aligned with that mindset \u00a0\u2014 classic, assured and quietly confident,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n \n\tJoe Irons, chief marketing officer of Charles Tyrwhitt, said of Donald that being the \u201cwinning Ryder Cup captain again at Bethpage really does make him a global sporting icon and his poise and leadership resonate deeply with our customers across the U.K., Europe and USA. He\u2019s a very natural and authentic ambassador for Charles Tyrwhitt and as a true gentleman of the game, Luke\u2019s the ultimate embodiment of the Charles Tyrwhitt spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tOver the course of his career Donald held the world number-one ranking for a total of over 56 weeks, won five PGA tour and eight international tournaments and is unbeaten in six Ryder Cups for Europe.<\/p>\n \n\tCharles Tyrwhitt also has sporting deals with the New York Yankees<\/a>, England Rugby, The British & Irish Lions and Fulham FC, Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe<\/a>, and Rugby ambassadors Marcus Smith and Matt Dawson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Charles Tyrwhitt has signed Luke Donald, the European Ryder Cup captain and former number-one ranked golfer, as its…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":504400,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[5904,82833,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-504399","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-golf","9":"tag-new-york-yankees","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-uk","12":"tag-united-kingdom","13":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/504399","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=504399"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/504399\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/504400"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=504399"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=504399"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=504399"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
