U.S. Presidents Cup team selects Ogio as official travel gear provider

BLUFFDALE, Utah -- Ogio has been selected as the Official Travel Gear provider to the U.S. Presidents Cup team, company officials have announced. Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Fred Couples and Jim Furyk, among others, will carry Ogio travel gear before and during the 2009 Presidents Cup, set for Oct. 6-11 at Harding Park Golf Course in San Francisco.

"More than a third of all Tour players now commute globally with our popular golf travel line, and live out of Ogio luggage on the Tour," said Tom Gocke, the company's global vice president of golf. "It's a tremendous honor to receive such a nod from the Presidents Cup, and testament to our unstoppable momentum in the industry."

U.S. Presidents Cup team members -- plus their spouses and caddies -- will be outfitted in an assortment of Ogio's award-winning travel gear including the Terminal and Layover rolling duffels; the Bus -- an oversized and sturdy check-in-sized duffel with a removable messenger bag; plus some of the company's most popular backpacks and messenger bags including the Metro and the Tote.

The travel bags, as well as a Limited Edition Presidents Cup Signature Ogio Golf Bags, will be available for sale through select retail partners and online beginning late September.
