Jason Dufner Inked a New Sponsorship Deal with DUDE Products
Jason Dufner is certainly used to being the target of sponsorship deals for a variety of companies, but since his play has tapered off a bit recently, apparel sponsorships have been few and far between.
But you’ll be happy to hear that Duf just gained a new sponsorship deal for 2019 and what better brand for one of the most relatable guys on Tour than one with the slogan “meet butt hair’s worst enemy.”
That’s right, Dufner is now repping DUDE Products as his apparel sponsor. DUDE Products is still relatively new on the scene but their biggest hit product is the DUDE wipe…flushable wipes for adults.
While the wipe is DUDE’s marquee product they also have a whole brand of men’s hygiene products.

“It was pretty easy. They’re kind of a new company. Had a lot of growth over the last three or four years,” Dufner told GolfChannel.com this week.
“They were on Shark Tank. Cuban invested in them, so it can’t be a bad thing. They had a little money they wanted to throw my way, and worked out good for them today with a good round.”
The Cuban that Dufner is referring to is billionaire Mark Cuban, owner of the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks. When DUDE Products originally hit the market, they got a huge boost from appearing on the popular show Shark Tank where Cuban is an investor. He ended up gaining 25% stake in the company for a $300,000 investment. So this isn’t some crank product that Dufner is throwing his support behind.
Dufner seems to be pretty excited about the new sponsorship and why not, it’s a line of products that will make life a lot easier for him and his dudes. We can only hope that the use of DUDE Wipes will allow Dufner to feel more comfortable on the course and get him back to his winning ways in 2019.
