Schueco to Sponsor the Princess in Sweden
Schueco is expanding its activities in international golf. The focus: promoting future generations. Recently, Schueco became the new presenting sponsor of “The Princess,” a European Challenge Tour tournament called into being by Henrik Stenson in 2009.
Stenson is a Schueco brand ambassador and a golfer. One of his concerns is to support young golfers and prepare them for the future. The tournament will take place from June 30 to July 3, 2011 in Bara in southern Sweden near Malmo.
