Team Falken lands Cleveland Golf sponsor

Team Falken Tire and Cleveland Golf announced a partnership that will see one of the PGA Tour’s leading forces as the premiere sponsor of the Falken Porsche 911 GT3 RSR. The team will make its American Le Mans Series debut this week at the Tequila Patr¢n American Le Mans Series at Long Beach. Bryan Sellers and Dominic Cicero will drive the Porsche on the streets of Long Beach starting Thursday.

Both Cleveland Golf and Falken Tire take pride in leading innovation and technology practices within each of their respective fields. Cleveland Golf, a force in the PGA tour, embraces many of the same product development ideologies which Falken Tire Corporation applies to their Azenis RT Slick tires used for American Le Mans Series competition. Team Falken Tire’s efforts in the prestigious American Le Mans Series clearly reinforce their belief that the heat of competition ultimately produces the highest quality product for the end consumer.

“Designing and manufacturing golf equipment for the best players in the world demands extremely high standards and creativity. Falken Tire’s dedication to quality makes them an ideal partner. We are excited to expose our Cleveland Golf and Srixon brands to the American Le Mans Series fanbase alongside Falken Tire," said Randy Romberg, VP of Marketing, Cleveland Golf.
