Exciting New Partnership: LAEZ Becomes Official Partner of the Palm Beach Golf Association

Premium Golf-Inspired Men's Accessories Brand Joins Forces with PBCGA to Elevate Style and Community

PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL — January 8, 2026 — The Palm Beach Golf Association (PBCGA) is thrilled to announce a dynamic new Official Partnership with LAEZ, a premium men's accessories brand deeply inspired by the precision, elegance, and passion of golf. This exciting collaboration represents a major boost to our efforts in growing and strengthening the vibrant golf community in Palm Beach County and across South Florida.

LAEZ crafts elevated belts and everyday essentials with unmatched craftsmanship, blending luxury design, timeless style, and golf-inspired functionality. Founded on the principle that "every move matters"—both on the course and in life—LAEZ draws from years of expertise to create durable, refined pieces that embody discipline, quality, and community focus. Their commitment to supporting artisans and sustainable growth perfectly aligns with PBCGA's mission to foster excellence in amateur golf while giving back to our local area.

As part of this partnership, LAEZ will serve as the presenting sponsor of the prestigious 31st Annual Sam Smidt Cup, set for January 26, 2026, at the beautiful Mayacoo Lakes Country Club in West Palm Beach. This iconic event pits top PBCGA amateurs against Southeast Chapter PGA professionals in a highly anticipated team competition—and with LAEZ on board, it's poised to be more stylish and memorable than ever. Team PBCGA players will receive exclusive custom LAEZ belts to wear with pride as they represent our association on the course.

“We couldn't be more excited to welcome LAEZ as our Official Partner,” said Jordan Schneider, Executive Director of the Palm Beach Golf Association. “Their golf-inspired designs and dedication to precision mirror our own commitment to delivering high-quality experiences for our members and the broader golf community. This partnership not only equips our players with premium accessories that enhance both performance and style but also opens doors for deeper community engagement. We're eager to build on this foundation and forge even more meaningful local partnerships that benefit golfers, businesses, and Palm Beach County as a whole.”
