TAIPEI / FRISCO, Texas — The Taiwan Hosiery Manufacturers’ Association (THMA), represented by its North American consulting team, has secured a prestigious spot among just 35 elite brands at the exclusive Private Buying Day during the opening of the 2026 PGA Buying Summit, taking place July 27–29 in Frisco, Texas.
This high-profile invitation places Taiwan’s advanced performance hosiery and sports accessories directly in front of the golf industry’s leading buyers, spotlighting the country’s textile innovation and manufacturing strength on a major global stage.
The Private Buying Day reflects the golf retail industry’s increasingly early purchasing cycle, giving key decision-makers a quiet, efficient setting to review upcoming Spring collections, evaluate product assortments, and shape annual sourcing strategy through pre-scheduled ONE2ONE meetings before the exhibition floor officially opens.
Capitalizing on this momentum, five leading Taiwanese member companies—Smart Hosiery, Shan Jung, EVERGLAD TECHWEAR, DANKEN Enterprise, and HUAN SHEN ENTERPRISE—are jointly presenting a comprehensive portfolio that spans full-cushioned and ergonomic toe cushioned ankle socks, anti-slip crew golf socks, Coolplus and cooling sensation socks, deodorant and mismatched socks, UV protection arm sleeves, instant cooling sports towels, antibacterial headbands, lightweight compression calf sleeves, compression quick-dry and breathable leggings, compression knee high stockings, and graphene knee sleeves.
The 2026 PGA Buying Summit centers on golf apparel, accessories, and lifestyle products, drawing buyers from leading private clubs, golf resorts, pro shops, national and independent retailers, golf management companies, PGA of America Professionals, LPGA Professionals, and International PGA Members, making it an essential sourcing hub for the North American market.
Through this participation, THMA aims to showcase Taiwan’s innovation and quality to a global audience, using the Summit’s platform to grow business opportunities across the U.S. and international golf markets while reinforcing “Made in Taiwan” as a mark of competitive strength in the global performance sportswear industry.
