The Korea Professional Golf Tour announced Thursday that it has signed an official suit partnership with fashion company Parkland.
The signing ceremony was held Wednesday at the KPGA Building in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, with KPGA Executive Director Kim Jin-hyung and Parkland Product Division Head Ahn Min-gil in attendance.
Under the agreement, Parkland becomes the KPGA's official suit brand and will supply 30 million won ($22,500) worth of suits. The contract runs through Sept. 9, 2027. KPGA staff will wear Parkland suits at tour events and are also set to wear them at the 2026 KPGA Genesis Awards ceremony on Nov. 27.
"It is meaningful to form a partnership with the KPGA, which leads the development of Korean professional golf," Ahn said. "We hope the quality and comfort of our suits will contribute to the tour's successful operations."
Founded in 1973 and headquartered in Busan, Parkland started as a men's suit maker and has since expanded into women's wear and casual clothing.
