Par One Golf (PPAI 135556, Silver) has announced that it is now the exclusive carrier of Sun Day Red golf apparel in the branded merchandise industry, offering customers access to the highly sought-after collection from Tiger Woods.

Par One Golf notes that the addition of Sun Day Red aligns with its commitment to offering differentiated, high-quality products that elevate the retail golf experience while reinforcing its position as a destination for premium golf lifestyle brands.

“We are constantly looking for brands that don’t just make an impression, but truly resonate with today’s golfer,” says Sol Miller, sales manager at Par One Golf. “Sun Day Red represents a new standard in golf apparel. By becoming the exclusive carrier, we’re giving our customers access to a brand that reflects both performance and identity on and off the course.”

Goldstar (PPAI 114031, Platinum), PPAI 100’s No. 16 supplier, has announced an update to its international pricing models.

Beginning in June, the company will transition from its traditional all-inclusive pricing to a more transparent, flexible structure “designed to provide distributors with more control and better margin management.”

“The shift to line-item pricing is a direct response to the evolving needs of the industry. By separating base product costs from decoration and logistics, Goldstar is providing partners with the line-item transparency required by modern buyers,” the firm says.

Goldstar will release updated price lists, quoting guidance and partner marketing resources ahead of the June launch to support a smooth transition to the new model.

Goldstar says the shift will allow for easier initial price comparisons and budget compatibility, access to Goldstar’s pro-rated shipping at best-in-industry costs or choose to utilize their own shipper accounts and total visibility into decoration, rush charges and additional services.

“At the heart of Simplicity is the goal of making it easy for our customers to say yes,” says Heather Smartt, global head of Goldstar. “This move is about removing the one-size-fits-all approach. By providing a clear view of every cost, we are giving our partners the freedom they need to meet a wide range of client budgets. This is ultimately about providing transparency to our partners, so they can operate with confidence in a competitive landscape.”

“ProStores is the result of extensive industry research and a focus on what businesses and customers actually need,” says Brian Carothers, chief information officer at Proforma. “It sets a new standard for e-commerce by eliminating common pain points with powerful features that provide organizations with a competitive advantage.”

Oritain’s membership program connects members with a global community of responsible buyers and suppliers all committed to the highest standards of supply chain transparency.
