Golf World Business Names Tehama Ceo Nancy Haley To List Of "Top 5 Most Powerful People In Golf Fashion"

January 21, 2005 - (DENVER) Last week, Clint Eastwood won the Golden Globe Award for "Best Director."

This week, his partner and co-founder in the Tehama sportswear company - Nancy Haley - picked up some industry kudos of her own. As Golf World Business unveiled their annual list of "The Most Powerful People in Golf for 2005" - ranking the Tehama CEO as one of the top 5 leaders in golf fashion sportswear.

Each year, the editors of Golf Digest compile a list of the year's "Most Powerful People in Golf," with categories that include players, course architects, golf fashion leaders, equipment companies and more. The results are published in Golf World Business magazine.

"It's a huge honor to be recognized by the editors of Golf World Business- especially with so many talented and famous people in the golf business today," said Haley from her Tehama, Inc. office in Lakewood, Colorado. "But frankly, inventing, marketing, designing and growing a brand is just what I love to do."

Nancy Haley began her career with the founding of Sport-Haley - the company she founded in 1986 and took public in 1992. In the process, she created a brand and a look that has been widely credited with revolutionizing women's sportswear for golf.

Building on her experience at Sport-Haley, Nancy partnered with Clint Eastwood in 1997 - in what she candidly describes as "a storybook, Cinderella story." Together, they launched Tehama, a high-end line of men's and women's contemporary sportswear. With Haley at the helm as CEO, the company has seen double-digit sales increases every year. And last year, Haley was instrumental in negotiating and acquiring the licensing and design rights to the IZOD-G line of technical sportswear for golf, which will unveil its new line at the PGA Show in Orlando next week.
