SALT LAKE CITY, Utah -- OGIO, a global leader in golf bag, apparel and accessories design, announces the addition of Peter Woolf to the sales management team. The all-star team boasts a collection of golf managers with over 80 years of industry experience, collectively. Woolf contributes 21 years of sales, brand development, relationship maintenance, and growth-forecast experience in the sporting goods industry to OGIO. OGIO has strengthened its golf sales team over the past three years which has resulted in average annual growth of 34% over this time period.

Before securing his most recently noted roles at Callaway Golf, he spent 2 years as a Strategic Account Manager, working with Callaway's critical, regional and strategic partners. The first 12 years Woolf excelled as a top performer annually in his role as an Inside Sales Representative, driving product distribution and exceeding revenue targets.
