PUMA(R) North America has entered into a three-year pact with up coming professional golfer, Erica Blasberg, beginning January 1, 2006.

Blasberg is the first female professional golfer signed by PUMA and will wear PUMA's new performance Golf apparel and footwear collection on the course during this year's Ladies' Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Tour.

Known as one of the hottest new stars in the category, Blasberg is a strong competitor with a sense of style and fashion that fits with the PUMA brand.

Jay Piccola, President and General Manager of PUMA North America, said, "Erica's impressive athletic abilities on the golf course matched with her fun, free-spirited personality make her a natural fit for the PUMA brand. She is someone who is not afraid to be bold and different and we're excited to work with her as we launch our first PUMA Golf Collection."

As part of the agreement, Erica will wear the brand's PG GTX spikes with 8 CHAMP(R) Scorpion Stinger spikes featuring the CHAMP Q-LOK System. She will also be dressed in PUMA Golf apparel pieces from the women's collection with special colors designed just for her appearance on the tour.

"I have always admired PUMA for their innovations in sports performance, fashion and design. The PUMA Golf collection truly speaks to the needs of a golfer and I am impressed by its technical merits that will help a golfer succeed on the course," said Erica Blasberg.

"I am passionate about working with PUMA to add some style, color and vibrancy to the game is very exciting. I'm confident that PUMA Golf will play an instrumental role in helping me reach my full potential as a player."
