Relaxed, Comfortable And Stylish – Travel, The Fred Couples Way

Bluffdale, Utah (April 29, 2010) He provided some of the most exciting and talked-about moments of the 2010 Masters. The cool, relaxed Fred Couples whose graceful swing and laid back style kept him top of mind throughout the tournament and top of the leader board for much of the event proved yet again that one need not be showy in order to dominate the show.

Such was Couples‘ approach in creating his new signature travel line, with the help of gear bag manufacturer OGIO. The Champions Tour player, whose ageless approach on the course is the envy of many generations, has parlayed his classically laid-back fashion to six new travel bags. These sleek, constructed-leather designs include rolling duffels in both check-on and carry on sizes; a backpack and messenger bag; as well as his indispensible OGIO Monster golf travel bag.

As of today, these beautifully crafted, supple bags are available for purchase by Couples‘ fans and seasoned travelers alike. The line is equipped with endless travel-friendly features to ensure smooth travels for its users, offering details such as:

- Easy access side-entry laptop sleeves;
- Oversized off-road wheels to promote easy maneuvering;
- Interior & exterior “Secure Hold” compression straps to stabilize bag contents;
- Pullman handle holsters to connect and stabilize messenger bags on top of rolling bags;
- Easy-access airline ticket sleeves;
- Durable, weather-resistant construction combining 1680 ballistic nylon and constructed leather, backed by a lifetime warranty;
- Crush-resistant interior padding to protect club heads, laptops, and other valuable gear.

The new Fred Couples Signature Travel Line by OGIO (MSRP: $110.00 - $340.00) currently is available through www.ogio.com/fred. For more information, call 800.922.1944 or visit www.ogio.com
