Ryder Cup hero and BBC Sports Personality of the Year runner-up Darren Clarke will wear Stuburt on Tour in 2007.
The 38-year-old Ulsterman, who will be signing a three-year deal, will help to develop a Darren Clarke range of shoes.
He joins fellow Ryder Cup hero David Howell in the recently-formed Team Stuburt.
Clarke said: “I can’t wait to start next season with my new footwear.”
Stuburt Managing Director, Graeme Stevens, said: “Signing Darren will be a huge coup and will bring one of the world’s most recognised golfers into the Stuburt stable.
“The world of golf saw Darren handle himself magnificently during the Ryder Cup, in very difficult and emotional circumstances, and alongside David Howell he will be the perfect ambassador for Stuburt.”
With career earnings of £11 million, Darren Clarke has 15 pro victories worldwide to date and is consistently ranked among the world’s top 20 golfers.
