The French Golf Federation is delighted to announce the extension, for another four years, of its partnership with LACOSTE. The French brand will therefore remain alongside ffgolf until 2020. Great novelty of this renewal, LACOSTE will give its name to the junior circuit.

Founded in 1912, the French Golf Federation has benefited from the support of LACOSTE for many years. The history of the Crocodile brand, created in 1933 by René Lacoste, one of the four Musketeers of the golden age of French tennis, is intimately linked to golf since Simone Thion de la Chaume, his wife, was the one of the greatest champions in golf and their daughter Catherine won the US Open in 1967 as an amateur.

The ffgolf is naturally delighted to announce the extension of this historic association for the next four years.

LACOSTE therefore remains the Official Supplier of ffgolf, amateur teams of France ladies and gentlemen, France and Hope centers, and young people. The great novelty of this renewal is the sponsorship of the national youth circuit, which will now take the name of LACOSTE Junior Tour.

The brand will offer a piece from its collection to each winner of some 80 events on the calendar identifying them as such. LACOSTE will also reward the best Merit players on different occasions throughout the year, with exceptional gifts:

for boys, a meeting with his ambassador Julien Quesne, player on the European circuit, and for girls, a participation in the official pro-am of the LACOSTE Ladies Open of France.

In addition, LACOSTE will offer an endowment to all the participants of the French youth championship, i.e. around 400 boys and girls, and will be visible on the course and on all the communication media of the event.

In addition, title partner of the LACOSTE Ladies Open of France and official partner of the HNA Open of France, the female and male national opens owned by the French Golf Federation, as well as a member of the France 2018 Partners Club, the Crocodile brand confirms by this extension of its historic commitment alongside ffgolf.
