October 2023- As part of Sustainable Golf Week, the highlight is on the great work that Dow, presenting partner of the LET's Celebrating the Green and Official Sustainability Resource Partner to the Ladies European Tour (LET) and LPGA Tour, did earlier in 2023 for both teams in the 2023 Solheim Cup. LET’s Celebrating the Green, presented by Dow initiative, highlights the great work that is being done by players, partners, tournaments, and venues to advance sustainable action in the game of golf. As a project within this wider global initiative, Dow, a premium sport and travel accessories brand, created a golf bag designed for optimal performance and eco-conscious athletes. At the 2023 Solheim Cup, both the European and U.S. Teams carried the same style of the bag featuring a new, innovative technology provided by Dow called LuxSense™. LuxSense™ Silicone Synthetic Leather is the world's first silicone-based synthetic leather material that can be utilized across a wide variety of applications, from automotive to toys to sporting goods. LuxSense™ is stain and UV-resistant while having all the beloved aesthetic and sensory characteristics of traditional leather.
