Skechers Performance Elite Athlete Matt Kuchar wins the Sony Open

Skechers celebrates Olympic medalist and Skechers Performance ambassador Matt Kuchar’s victory at the Sony Open at Waialae Country Club in Honolulu.

Kuchar, who competes wearing Skechers GO GOLF footwear, finished at 22 under par overall for his second title this season, moving him up seven slots to second place in season points for the FedEx Cup.

“It was a great week, and I have a lot of confidence in my game,” said Matt Kuchar. “Staying comfortable on the course is key, and I thank the team at Skechers for supporting me along the way.”

“We’re exceptionally proud to be on Matt Kuchar’s team in what’s already turning out to be a career season for this amazing athlete,” said Michael Greenberg, president of Skechers. “His dedication and will to pull through for victory is an inspiration, and we love that fans are watching him do it all in Skechers GO GOLF shoes.”

Kuchar has been a leading and respected golfer since breaking onto the golf scene as the U.S. amateur champion in 1998 and as a pro he remains a perennial fixture atop leaderboards. He earned two victories in a season for the first time in 2013 and also helped the U.S. squad beat the international team at the Presidents Cup.

In 2016, Kuchar won a bronze for the United States at the Olympics and was also part of the victorious U.S. team at the Ryder Cup. The 2019 season is already turning out to be notable, as he’s now earned multiple titles in a single season for only the second time in his career. With 100 top-10 finishes since 2001 and nine overall Tour titles, Kuchar currently sits at number 22 on the Official World Golf Rankings.

Kuchar was one of the first elite pros to join the Skechers Performance Golf Team in 2014. The brand’s roster of elite golfers wearing Skechers GO GOLF also includes Brooke Henderson, Wesley Bryan, Russell Knox, Colin Montgomerie, and Billy Andrade. Kuchar has driven our Skechers GO GOLF marketing campaigns with a series of humorous commercials.
