Arabic version: هيربرت يروّج للشركات الصغيرة في بطولة نيو ساوث ويلز المفتوحة
According to ABC News, Australian golfer Lucas Herbert used his clothing at the NSW Open in the Hunter Valley to advertise small businesses after the end of LIV Golf left him without many of his previous commercial arrangements.
Herbert, a 30-year-old from Bendigo, finished the tournament in a tie for third. With his clothing available as a blank canvas, he put out a call to small businesses before the event and offered to promote them during the tournament.
He said he wanted to help owners who were doing it tough in the economic climate. Speaking to golf journalist Tom Hobbs, Herbert said he was motivated by the death of a friend earlier this year, describing the pressures his friend faced as a small business owner.
A mental health charity, an electrical business and a lawn care business were among the organisations and companies displayed on Herbert’s clothing. He is also set to play in the Australian Open and the Australian PGA Championship during the golf season.
