The golf brand MADCATTOS has announced that it has signed an official sponsorship agreement with world-class golfer Shin Ji-ae.
Shin Ji-ae is a living golf legend, having recorded a total of 66 victories while competing not only in Korea but also on tours in the United States, Japan, and Europe. Recently, she has ranked first in total prize money on the Japan Ladies Professional Golf Association (JLPGA) tour, once again leaving a deep mark. In particular, she is in a historic situation where adding just one more win on the JLPGA will secure her a permanent seed, standing on the brink of a new milestone.
Shin Ji-ae noted, "Japan is a country where you encounter cats everywhere. Living in a culture that regards cats as symbols of luck, the cat character of MADCATTOS particularly caught my eye."
In particular, regarding MADCATTOS, she stated, "Since not many people wear it yet, I was more interested in it. It’s not flashy, but it has a definite presence, and upon closer inspection, I appreciated the good materials and details that come alive."
MADCATTOS is a brand that has gained attention as the "lucky cat" with a design that combines a classic style with witty logo details. The partnership with Shin Ji-ae is expected to be an important turning point that not only transcends simple sponsorship but also helps to imprint the brand's presence in overseas markets alongside Shin Ji-ae's symbolism.
The CEO of MADCATTOS, Kang Jeong-hoon, remarked, "Shin Ji-ae is a player symbolizing an era and continues to embrace new challenges. While up until now, we have been focused on bringing Japanese golf brands to the domestic market, through this partnership, I expect MADCATTOS to also make its name known in the Japanese market just as Shin Ji-ae writes a new history in Japan."
