Team SLIGO’s Troy Merritt wins PGA Tour Quicken Loans National

(Montreal, PQ) - NIVO Sport, the parent company of SLIGO Wear, is delighted to congratulate Team SLIGO’s Troy Merritt on winning the Quicken Loans National.

“We are very proud of Troy for winning his first PGA Tour event,” said

Diane Lanctôt, President of Lanctôt Ltd and NIVO Sport women’s golf apparel. “And it’s doubly exciting that Troy made his break though in the first week that SLIGO was officially part of the Lanctôt family.”

Merritt’s dramatic victory, during which he set the course record (61) and the tournament scoring record (one better than Tiger Wood’s mark), qualified him for the elite World Golf Championship – Bridgestone Invitational, the PGA Championship (his first Major tournament), and next year’s Masters.

A member of Team SLIGO’s since 2013, Merritt raised the Quicken Loans National trophy wearing SLIGO Wear DEZ Voltage shirt, Voltage Tour belt, and Acadia white pants.

“Troy has been with us since his days on the web.com tour,” said SLIGO Wear Brand Manager Shawn Aucoin. “The years of hard work have paid off, and it couldn’t happen to a nicer guy or better ambassador for SLIGO Wear.”

Joining Merritt on the 2015 PGA Tour Team SLIGO are four-time PGA Tour winner Brian Gay, Brice Garnett, two-time Web.com winner Justin Hicks, and 2014 Nova Scotia Open champion Roger Sloan.
