MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, Canada -- The phrase "creating change'' has become popular in the political arena today. In the golf apparel world, Sligo Wear Inc. has been creating change since its inception in 2004. The company will continue to bring a fresh vibe, dynamic color ways, technical fabrics and fashionable cuts with its 2009 Collections that push the envelope of traditional golf apparel.

At Pro Am to the Azores in early 2004, they noticed a different fashion for golf apparel and upon their started Sligo Wear Inc.
Sligo Wear was an immediate success in the Canadian market and in 2007, the company signed a deal with Fairway Styles Inc. of Richmond, Va., to bring fashion change to the U.S. market.
Sligo Wear will make its PGA Merchandise Show debut Jan. 29-31, 2009 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando.
