(SALEM, NH) – ECCO® Golf ambassador Aaron Rai produced a career-defining performance at Aronimink Golf Club, capturing his maiden major championship title with victory at the PGA Championship.
Rai, wearing ECCO BIOM TOUR shoes, delivered a stunning final round five-under-par 65 to secure the Wanamaker Trophy by three shots, sealing the biggest win of his career in style.
A long-term wearer of ECCO GOLF shoes throughout his career, the victory marks Rai’s first triumph since officially joining the brand as an ambassador at the start of 2026, and represents a landmark moment for the Englishman after a season of perseverance and hard work.
“It is very surreal,” Rai said. “It has been a bit of a frustrating season, so to be standing here is definitely outside of my wildest imagination. I think it is really good consistency over the last few weeks with practice. My body feels great and I have really enjoyed the course this week.”
Rai remained composed throughout the final day at Aronimink, combining his signature precision iron play with clinical putting to pull away from the field and claim his first major championship title.
“Aaron has shown incredible resilience, professionalism and dedication all season, so to see him lift his first major championship is truly special,” said Timo Vollrath, Head of Global Marketing at ECCO GOLF. “He embodies everything we value at ECCO GOLF through his commitment to performance and consistency, and we are incredibly proud to have him representing ECCO GOLF.”
“For my performance, wearing ECCO GOLF shoes is so important because it gives me comfort, and that’s not really something that you can put a price on,” said Rai after his win.
In addition to Aaron Rai, ECCO GOLF shoes are worn in competition around the world by Freddy Schott, Lydia Ko, Thorbjørn Olesen, Erik van Rooyen, Thomas Bjørn, and Janet Lin Xiyu among others. For further information about ECCO GOLF, please visit golf.ecco.com.
