AHEAD PARTNERS WITH MUIRFIELD VILLAGE GOLF CLUB AT THIS WEEK’S MEMORIAL TOURNAMENT

Headwear company Ahead’s longstanding partnership with the Memorial Tournament presented by Nationwide, founded and hosted by Jack Nicklaus, continues this week with the 43rd edition of the PGA Tour event at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio. Not only has Ahead served as the exclusive headwear supplier for the event’s more than 2,500 volunteers for 20 years, but the company is again staging the tournament’s three merchandise tents where official gear is available.

Ahead recently extended its relationship with long-time partners, Jack Nicklaus and the Nicklaus Companies and will continue producing the exclusive branded headwear collection for the Nicklaus Companies, including the iconic Jack Nicklaus and Golden Bear trademarks. Earlier this spring, Ahead announced the launch of its new Jack Nicklaus Majors Collection, which features headwear styles created as a tribute to the game’s most decorated champion with 18 major titles. A new cap in the collection will be introduced next month in time for Father’s Day.

Memorial Tournament merchandise featuring Ahead logoed hats, shirts, active wear, and accessories is available at three different outlets around Muirfield Village Golf Club. The tents are open 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. through Sunday.

“Ahead has been a terrific partner for a number of years,” said Larry Dornisch, PGA Head Professional, Muirfield Village GC. “Ahead’s Tracy Wilson (national sales manager, resort and tournament divisions) and Devon Holden (Ohio sales representative) do an incredible job setting up all three merchandise areas. Their fixturing really accents the space — the bright white does a great job helping to showcase all the products. The commitment from Ahead is paramount for the success of our merchandise tents during Memorial Tournament week.”
