Skechers Performance™ Signs LPGA Rising Star Brooke Henderson*

After Winning Her First Major at the 2016 KPMG Women’s PGA
Championship and Finishing with a Stellar Performance in Rio, Henderson
is just Getting Started

LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Skechers Performance™, a division of SKECHERS USA, Inc. (NYSX:SKX),
announces today that LPGA rising star and World number three golfer,
Brooke Henderson, will join the roster of elite Skechers GO GOLF
athletes. The LPGA champion signed a multi-year global deal with
Skechers Performance and will be featured in marketing campaigns for
Skechers GO GOLF footwear.


“From the moment I tried the shoes and tested them on the course, I
immediately loved the Skechers GO GOLF line,” said Henderson, who is
teeing it up this week at the Manulife LPGA Classic. “I can’t think of a
better fit for me and I’m excited for the opportunity to represent the
brand. The exceptional product has really helped me with my game.”

At 18 years old, Henderson returned home to her native Canada after a
solid performance in Rio. One month prior to Rio, Henderson had her
first Major win at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship on June 16, 2016.
As an amateur in 2014, Henderson’s 10th place tie for the
2014 Women’s US Open quickly positioned her as the top ranking woman
amateur golfer in the world at the age of 16. Since her professional
debut in December of that same year, Henderson has continued to climb
with a current rank of number three in the world.

“We really love Brooke’s game, and her input is going to be so
valuable,” said Skechers Performance Senior Vice President
Merchandising/Marketing, Rick Higgins. “She’s just getting started, and
we’re thrilled to be partnering with her.”

Henderson will be wearing Skechers Performance GO GOLF footwear as part
of the sponsorship. Known for its innovative designs and award winning
comfort, GO GOLF offers everyone from leisurely players to professional
golfers a comfortable innovative shoe that can be worn on and off the
course.

As Skechers Performance enters it’s fourth year with the GO GOLF line,
Brooke Henderson is in excellent company, joining world-class golfers
Matt Kuchar, Russell Knox, Colin Montgomerie, Billy Andrade, Belen Mozo,
and Ashlan Ramsey who are Skechers GO GOLF ambassadors.

Skechers GO GOLF is available at Skechers retail stores, select retail
partners including golf pro shops, and online at Skechers.com.
