The LPGA Tour has joined hands with goodr, an Atlanta-based company, in its bid to provide on-site tournament activation to its dedicated fanbase. The sunglasses company is known for its humorous takes on social media, which could work in favor of the ladies’ tour.
LPGA Tour adds to its sponsors
Despite the commencement of its season already, the LPGA Tour has attracted enough attention to gain another sponsor in the form of ‘goodr’. The announcement reports a multi-year contract has been agreed upon between the two parties.
But what does ‘goodr’ offer to the LPGA Tour? Founded in 2017, the sunglasses-making company has taken rapid strides in its initial years. Despite facing competition from established companies, it has made a name for itself in the American market.
But how did they achieve so much in such a short span of time? Well, the company’s marketing team has done a pretty good job. Goodr’s Twitter handle reveals the company has been free-flowing with its strategies to instill a lively social media presence.

We are proud to work with an organization like the LPGA that champions female athletes.”
“We’re excited to see this partnership come to life and to see more diverse faces in the golf space.”
