Garmin® adds 21 anglers to its 2017 Marine Pro Team

Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ:GRMN), today
announced the addition of 21 professional anglers to its 2017 marine pro
team. The new additions will round out the Garmin team of 70
professional bass, walleye, and crappie fishermen who will be
representing Garmin in tournament circuits across North America,
including the B.A.S.S. Elite Series and FLW Tour.

“For the past several years, Garmin has continued to attract elite
anglers from across the country,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president
of global consumer sales. “They’ve taken notice of the quality of our
products, our innovative technology, and the reliability of our service
in the field, and they’ve made the decision to switch to Garmin because
of that proven track record. We couldn’t be prouder of the team
representing Garmin in the inland fishing industry and we look forward
to celebrating their many successes this year.”

(FLW); Paul Elias (B.A.S.S.); Anthony Gagliardi (FLW); Jeff Kriet
(B.A.S.S.); Bradley Hallman (FLW); Jamie Horton (FLW); Alton Jones Jr.

real time.
