Original Penguin by Munsingwear, within the golf division of Perry Ellis International, Inc., congratulates brand ambassador Cameron Smith for winning his third Australian PGA Championship.
With the victory, Smith continues his whirlwind year, including setting the PGA Tour scoring record at the Sentry Tournament of Champions to go along with impressive wins at THE PLAYERS Championship and his first major at The Open Championship at St. Andrews.
This PGA Championship was an emotional victory for Smith as his grandmother, Carol, recently underwent two chemotherapy treatments. Impressively, she walked all 72 holes this week, including Sunday’s seven-hour, weather-interrupted final day. In all four rounds, Carol wore a custom-made “Team Smith” T-shirt.
“I can’t believe she did it,” said Smith. “Everyone at the start of the week was telling her to pace herself and she was out there all day every day, so it was pretty amazing. It was definitely inspiring. I don’t know how she did it, but it was also my dad’s birthday as well. After I got back to the tie for the lead there after 11, I really wanted to do it for those two.”
For the week, Cameron wore Original Penguin’s Fall ’22 golf collection featuring its new Re-Originals sustainable fabrication. The eco-friendly polos are crafted with 30% recycled polyester and use a double-knit high-gauge fabrication for superior performance and aesthetics.
For over 60 years Original Penguin, and its namesake icon Pete, the Penguin, has been adorned and adored by the masters of leisure and sport to define itself as an American classic.
Today, the Penguin icon still stands as a signal for those who know how to be an original and what you wear for the good times.
