Knockaround, the San Diego–based eyewear brand known for durable, stylish, and approachable sunglasses, has announced its newest athlete partner: professional golfer Danielle Kang.
Known for her fiery competitive spirit, magnetic personality, and deep connection with fans, Kang perfectly embodies the Knockaround ethos—bold, original, and authentic. As one of the most prominent American golfers of her generation, she brings a unique mix of passion, creativity, and charisma to the brand’s growing roster of golf ambassadors.
A longtime fan of Knockaround, Kang’s partnership feels organic. The brand has spent nearly two decades building a reputation for blending performance and lifestyle, crafting sunglasses that can handle both pro-level play and everyday wear. Kang’s energy and versatility align seamlessly with Knockaround’s approach to design—uncomplicated, affordable, and built for real life.
A Proven Champion On and Off the Course
With six LPGA Tour wins, a 2017 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship title, four Solheim Cup appearances, and a showing at the Tokyo Olympics, Kang is a fierce competitor on the global stage. Her intensity is balanced by an off-course creative spirit—musical, artistic, and deeply expressive. That multidimensional mindset made her a natural fit for a brand that celebrates both high performance and individuality.
“I’m incredibly excited to partner with Knockaround — a brand that reflects so many things I care about: fashion, style, giving back, and a commitment to performance at the highest level,” Kang said. “The Knockaround team has been amazing to work with, and I’m truly looking forward to representing the brand on tour.”
Building on a Legacy of Laid-Back Performance
Founded in 2005 in San Diego by Adam “Ace” Moyer, Knockaround has grown from a grassroots label into a national brand featured in publications like GQ, Men’s Health, and Forbes. Known for offering affordable, high-quality sunglasses with standout designs, the brand continues to make waves in the golf world as the Official Eyewear of the PGA TOUR.
Kang now joins a vibrant ambassador lineup that includes fan favorites like Joel Dahmen, Harry Higgs, Mark Hubbard, and Peter Malnati—each known as much for their personalities as for their skill. It’s this focus on authentic, standout voices in the sport that sets Knockaround apart.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Danielle to the Knockaround family,” said Ed Rainey, Chief Marketing Officer at Knockaround. “She brings a unique combination of personality, authenticity, and competitive edge that aligns with who we are as a brand.”
Knockaround sunglasses are available at major retailers including REI, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Topgolf, and specialty sports shops nationwide. The brand’s golf and sport-focused lines continue to grow, offering durable styles for athletes who demand performance—and want to look good doing it.
