Hamilton Sunscreen partners with the PGA

Tuesday, 30 October 2012

The PGA of Australia is pleased to announce a partnership with iNova Pharmaceuticals, in which Hamilton Sunscreen will become the official sunscreen for the next three years.

Through this partnership Hamilton Sunscreen will further cement its positioning as ‘Science in Suncare’, by linking with elite tournament golf.

As part of the agreement, it is planned that consumers will be able to purchase Hamilton Sunscreen products at their local on-course golf Pro shops, one of the most extensive distribution channels in the country.

Sampling programs will also take place at PGA Tour of Australasia tournaments, including the Emirates Australian Open and the Australian PGA Championship presented by Coca-Cola, with a focus on keeping up the sun safety message for all those attending the golf.

“We are delighted to partner with iNova Pharmaceuticals, the makers of Hamilton Sunscreen, to help promote sun smart practices to the golfing industry,” said Brian Thorburn, CEO of the PGA of Australia.

“This partnership is a great fit. Spending so much time on the golf course and in the sun, it is imperative PGA staff, PGA Members as well as golfers everywhere ensure they avoid skin damage caused by UV rays.”

“It is a great opportunity for Hamilton Sunscreen” says Shmonie Darmo, Senior Brand Manager at iNova Pharmaceuticals.

“With over 80 years of research behind Hamilton Sunscreen, our formulas are designed to be easy to use and to meet the needs of active people."

"They are perfect for the needs of sportspeople particularly our Hamilton Dry-Touch Sunscreen which will help golfers to avoid having a slippery grip”.

Hamilton Sunscreen is a premium product currently available exclusively through pharmacies and through this partnership will extend to on-course golf Pro shops around Australia.
