Marriott Sign Tom Lewis as Brand Ambassador

Marriott has

signed English European Tour player Tom Lewis as a Brand Ambassador.

Under the terms

of the arrangement, the former Walker Cup player and Tour winner will wear the

Marriott logo on his sleeve and will represent the renowned hotel group on his

travels around the world.

"We are

delighted to announce that Tom Lewis has signed a deal to act as a Brand

Ambassador for Marriott," said Alison Ainsworth, Senior Director for Golf Europe.

"He is one of

Britain's brightest rising stars and as such is well-placed to promote the

Marriott name wherever he plays."

Lewis first shot

to prominence when he won the British Boys Championship in 2009. The 22

year-old from Welwyn Garden City bowed out of the amateur game after being part

of the winning Great Britain & Ireland team at the 2011 Walker Cup, making an immediate impact on the professional scene.

Indeed, he won on his third

appearance on the European Tour at the 2011 Portugal Masters.

"I would like to

take this opportunity to thank Marriott for their interest in me," said Lewis.

"I look forward to working with them and to helping raise the company's profile

amongst golfers of different countries."
