BLUFFDALE, Utah -- Whether on or off the course, Fred Couples is widely known for being both smooth and stylish. The 1992 Masters Champion and 2009 Presidents Cup captain has perfected fluidity of motion for more than three decades. This year, he's teamed with tech-savvy gear bag manufacturer OGIO to craft a signature travel line that reflects his easy, classic and technically gifted style.
Each of the six bags is sleek and luxurious, while still enveloping high-performance components.
"The golf community deserves luxurious, affordable travel gear that, like Fred Couples, is both effortless and stylish at once," said Ogio Global Vice President of Golf Tom Gocke. "We worked with Fred personally to bring his cool and easygoing nature to a line that lives up to his exceptional standards for craftsmanship."
Each of the six bags in OGIO's Fred Couples signature travel collection is sleek and luxurious, while still enveloping high-performance components. Built with a combination of 1680 ballistic nylon and constructed leather, the all-black line includes:
