The Ryder Cup star and world number 10, Ian Poulter, has been announced as the new Nikon ambassador for its COOLSHOT and COOLSHOT AS Laser Rangefinders.
As part of the deal, Poulter and his caddie, Terry Mundy, will use Nikon Laser Rangefinders when making their weekly tournament preparations until 2015, while Mundy will have the Nikon logo on his headwear.
On signing the deal with Nikon, Poulter said: “I’ve always made sure that everything I do in my preparations for any golf tournament is of the highest standard and that mentality goes into any products that I use.
“Nikon’s laser rangefinders are the best around and you won’t get a more accurate reading with any other laser.”
He added: “When Ryder Cup points and Major championships are on the line, I need to be able to trust the numbers that my laser gives me when I’m making my preparations for tournaments. There’s no doubt in my mind that Nikon produce the most accurate Distance Measuring Device available today.”
Tim Hunnable, commercial manager Nikon UK Sport Optics commented: “We are delighted to have Ian Poulter join the Nikon team as an ambassador, the passion he displays on the golf course and his ability perfectly complements the passion we put into our products and the quality results that passion yields.”
