Original Penguin Golf, a division of Perry Ellis International, Inc., congratulates brand ambassador Cameron Smith for winning the 2022 Sentry Tournament of Champions for his fourth PGA TOUR victory.

“It was an unreal round and week and one which I will never forget,” said Smith.

“I feel like I had a really good rest, didn’t play much in the fall, I did some work on my swing and it really came out.”

With the win, Smith jumps up to third in the FedEx Cup standings and tenth in the Official World Golf Rankings.

For the record-setting week, Smith wore Original Penguin’s Golf collection featuring its new Re-Originals sustainable fabrication.

These eco-friendly polos are crafted with 30% recycled polyester and use a double-knit
high-gauge fabrication for superior performance and aesthetics. Pairing these elevated materials with OPG’s modern tailored fit, Smith delivered a winning look on and off the course.

“We congratulate Cameron for winning in wire-to-wire fashion and for smashing
the PGA TOUR scoring record,” said Oscar Feldenkreis, President and CEO of Peter Ellis International.

“With victories in back-to-back years, he has solidified himself as an international star and one who rises to the occasion when the pressure is the greatest. We are proud to have Cam as an Original Penguin brand ambassador.”

For over 60 years Original Penguin, and its namesake icon Pete, the Penguin, has been adorned and adored by the masters of leisure and sport to define itself as an American classic.

Today, the Penguin icon still stands as a signal for those who know how to be an original and what you wear for the good times.
