Luke Donald signs new, multi-year

agreement with Mizuno

FROM THE PGA.COM WEBSITE
Luke Donald has extended his long-standing equipment relationship with Mizuno by signing a new multi-year agreement, company officials have announced. The contract is Luke Donald's third with Mizuno, ensuring he enters his prime competitive years with the equipment brand used since his amateur days.
After a successful recovery from a wrist injury last season, Donald took some time to evaluate all aspects of his game and made some changes, including bringing in a new caddie, having previously partnered exclusively with his brother Christian. However, the changes did not extend to the equipment that Donald has come to rely upon as an important part of his formula for success.
Donald will continue to play Mizuno MP-62 irons, MP T-10 Series wedges, and Mizuno CLK hybrid and carry the famous blue and white Mizuno Staff Bag. Donald will also wear his trademark Mizuno visor as part of the agreement.
"We are extremely excited to have extended our relationship with Luke Donald," said Mizuno President Akito Mizuno. "He has been a tremendous ambassador for the Mizuno brand, both on and off the course, as he always displays class and a great respect for the game. We look forward to his continued success in 2010, and beyond."
Donald's world ranking recovered steadily in 2009 with a second-place in the Heritage Classic and a strong performance in the Dunhill Links Championship. Donald has previously recorded victories at the Honda Classic, Southern Farm Bureau Classic, Omega European Masters, Scandinavian Masters and hoisted the trophy at the World Cup and the Target World Challenge.
He has also played an integral role in multiple European Ryder Cup teams, with an impressive overall Ryder Cup record of 5-1-1.
