EternityX and LI-NING 1990 Forge a New Chinese Narrative for High-End Golf

Published

on

HONG KONG, SHANGHAI and GUANGZHOU, China, June 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — EternityX, a leading global marketing technology company, today announced its strategic partnership with LI-NING 1990, the premium golf brand under the LI-NING Group, as its integrated marketing and communications partner for 2026.

The partnership reflects EternityX’s expertise in connecting brands with Chinese audiences through culturally nuanced, data-driven marketing strategies. It also reinforces the company’s position as a trusted partner for Chinese brands seeking to shape differentiated premium narratives in an increasingly competitive market.

Together, EternityX and LI-NING 1990 will integrate the brand’s professional sporting heritage with a contemporary premium lifestyle aesthetic, leveraging precision digital strategies to expand its reach beyond core golf communities and into China’s broader high-net-worth consumer segment. The collaboration aims to redefine the standards of premium sports marketing through a distinctive blend of performance, culture, and modern luxury.

Where Golf Meets Eastern Philosophy: Redefining Premium Consumer Resonance 
At the intersection of sport and culture, golf’s philosophy of adapting to terrain and conditions naturally aligns with Eastern values of harmony and balance. The game’s emphasis on discipline, etiquette, and integrity also reflects long-standing Chinese ideals of composure, respect, and self-mastery.

This partnership brings together the essence of golf, Eastern philosophy, and LI-NING 1990’s premium brand identity into a cohesive and compelling narrative. Beyond representing a modern interpretation of premium sporting lifestyle, the collaboration demonstrates EternityX’s ability to translate cultural insight into meaningful brand engagement.

Grounded in a deep understanding of China’s high-net-worth consumers — who increasingly value understated sophistication and authentic cultural expression — EternityX will help transform these insights into sustained brand equity growth through integrated digital excellence.

Driving Brand Equity Through Full-Portfolio Communication
Building upon LI-NING 1990’s annual product roadmap, EternityX will deliver comprehensive communication optimisation across the brand’s golf portfolio, including both the PRO Elite Series and CLUB Series.

Through differentiated storytelling and precise articulation of product value, the partnership seeks to convert short-term market momentum into long-term brand loyalty. Balancing technical performance with lifestyle appeal, the collaboration will strengthen LI-NING 1990’s resonance among consumers who value craftsmanship, innovation, and refined sporting culture.

Charlene Ree, Founder and CEO of EternityX, stated: “The LI-NING Group has established a strong reputation in professional sports through years of commitment to athletic excellence, innovation, and performance-driven development. As the Group’s dedicated golf brand, LI-NING 1990 is committed to this mission—pioneering new trends in China’s sports market through professional, technologically advanced products and fashion athletic designs.”

“Professionalism is only the starting point — true brand influence is ultimately defined by cultural relevance and emotional connection. Premium marketing is not about scale alone; it is about creating narratives that resonate deeply with products, people, and culture. EternityX will help LI-NING 1990 articulate a complete and compelling brand story, from philosophy to visual identity, while communicating the brand’s confidence and sophistication within today’s digital landscape.” added Charlene.

Deric Wong, Global Chief Commercial Officer of EternityX, pointed out: “EternityX has spent years building cross-border marketing capabilities supported by extensive audience insights and data assets across premium consumer segments. These capabilities allow us to identify evolving market opportunities and support brands in building long-term strategic value.”

“Whether helping international brands unlock growth opportunities in China or enabling Chinese brands to establish stronger cultural recognition and community affinity, we have developed proven pathways and mature expertise. By integrating the discipline of golf with the adaptability of Eastern strategic thinking, we aim to build a sustainable and differentiated brand growth engine for LI-NING 1990.” Deric added.

Richard Zou, General Manager of China at EternityX, added: “China’s premium consumer market is undergoing a significant transformation. Consumers today are no longer satisfied with imported luxury narratives alone — they increasingly seek brands that authentically reflect Eastern aesthetics, values, and cultural confidence.”

“Our partnership with LI-NING 1990 represents more than a convergence of digital marketing and brand storytelling; it is a meaningful step toward elevating Chinese brands on the global premium stage. Through full-funnel engagement strategies, we will help integrate the brand’s culture, design language, and product philosophy into consumers’ everyday lifestyles.

Our ambition extends beyond traditional marketing objectives. We aim to help LI-NING 1990 build a long-term emotional connection with consumers, where every interaction with the brand becomes part of a deeper cultural and lifestyle experience. “said Richard.

Building the Future of Chinese Premium Brand Influence
Looking ahead, EternityX will continue to support LI-NING 1990 with a strategic approach grounded in discipline, precision, and long-term brand building.

Together, both parties will deepen their engagement within premium lifestyle communities and social ecosystems, establishing a partnership designed to create enduring consumer value and lasting industry impact.

By

Drive Medical claimed the top prize at the third annual SRS Shark Tank 2026, held during the Society of Robotic Surgery’s annual conference at the Diplomat Beach Resort in Hollywood, Florida. The event, a collaboration between SRS and Puma Venture Capital, once again showcased cutting-edge innovations in the digital and robotic surgery ecosystem and featured early-stage companies poised to transform minimally invasive care.

HOLLYWOOD, Fla., Sept. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Drive Medical claimed the top prize at the third annual SRS Shark Tank 2026, held during the Society of Robotic Surgery’s annual conference at the Diplomat Beach Resort in Hollywood, Florida. The event, a collaboration between SRS and Puma Venture Capital, once again showcased cutting-edge innovations in the digital and robotic surgery ecosystem and featured early-stage companies poised to transform minimally invasive care.

SRS Shark Tank 2026 featured presentations from nine innovative companies. Each had five minutes to pitch their technology and five minutes to engage in a Q&A session with a panel of esteemed judges, including top surgeons, investors, and medical device experts. Companies were evaluated on innovation, impact on healthcare, market potential, business model, and presentation.

Drive Medical earned the top honor for the Pollywog System, the first easy-to-use robotic endoscope integrated with artificial intelligence. The platform is designed to give physicians faster, safer access to the small bowel, allowing diagnosis and treatment to be completed in a single session rather than across multiple procedures.

DeepQure secured second place with HyperQure, the world’s first extravascular renal denervation system for resistant hypertension. Delivered laparoscopically, the device wraps the renal artery from the outside to achieve complete denervation while avoiding the vessel lining.

Microsure came in third with MUSA-3, a microsurgical robot that downscales and stabilizes a surgeon’s hand movements during open super-microsurgical procedures, including free flap, lymphatic, and peripheral nerve surgery. The system received CE mark approval earlier this year.

The strength of the 2026 field extended well beyond the podium: every one of the nine presenting companies was placed in the top three by at least one judge. Reveal Surgical presented optical imaging technology that characterizes tissue for tumor assessment during surgery, and Symphera demonstrated a laparoscopic system that lets surgeons switch instrument tips at the push of a button. Tioga Cardiovascular showed its transcatheter approach to mitral and tricuspid valve replacement.

CardioSentry presented an AI platform for autonomous cardiac ultrasound, and Nina Medical showcased a completely non-invasive treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia. LITLab rounded out the slate with mobile, high-fidelity surgical training labs that travel to health systems and medtech companies to train clinical teams onsite. Together the group reflected an unusually broad and competitive slate, spanning robotics, imaging, structural heart, urology, and surgical education.

The 2026 judging panel included Steve Bell, Rob Morgan, Dr. Santiago Horgan, Dr. Erik B. Wilson, Scott Zinober, and Babak Tehranchi, and the event was co-chaired by Amit Hazan and Dr. Vipul Patel.

Participating companies included:

Microsure, Symphera, LITLab, Reveal Surgical, DeepQure, Drive Medical, Nina Medical, CardioSentry, and Tioga Cardiovascular.

SEOUL, South Korea, Sept. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LG Electronics (LG) is showcasing LG Micro RGB evo (model MRGB95), a premium ultra-large-screen LCD TV featuring exceptional color purity, at IFA 2026, taking place in Berlin, Germany, from September 4-8. Leveraging LG’s proprietary Micro RGB technology and the α (Alpha) 11 AI Processor Gen3, the advanced TV delivers high-purity red, green, and blue separation, earning TÜV Rheinland’s High Purity RGB Spectrum Display certification.

Premium LCD Color with Independently Verified RGB Purity

LG Micro RGB evo and Mini RGB evo leverage LG’s proprietary high-purity RGB spectrum display technology, enhancing the purity of red, green and blue to deliver more natural and expressive color reproduction. Featuring clear color separation between red, green and blue colors and high purity of each color, the TVs deliver remarkably pure and lifelike colors.

This outstanding color performance has been independently certified by TÜV Rheinland, which has awarded its High Purity RGB Spectrum Display certification to LG’s Micro RGB evo MRGB95 and Mini RGB evo MRGB9M and MRGB85 models.[2]

Highlighting the significance of the certification, Hüseyin Derman, Regional Sales Manager of Products Europe at TÜV Rheinland, stated, “The TÜV Rheinland  certification confirms that LG’s Micro RGB evo has passed a rigorous evaluation of its capacity to deliver physically and optically high-purity colors by completely preventing the intermixing of RGB wavelengths.”

The processor’s Dual AI Engine analyzes texture and edge simultaneously to produce more cohesive and lifelike images across movies, shows and games.

Precision Color Enhancer, also enabled by the powerful α11 Gen3, preserves the purity of each primary color while enacting fine control over gradation and tonal transitions. Complementing this is Micro Dimming Ultra, which precisely manages brightness across thousands of dimming zones to reveal subtle detail in both deep shadows and bright highlights. These technologies, combined with the immense scale of the Micro RGB evo’s screen, create an immersive and impactful viewing experience.

Rally and the American Team Pickleball League Announce National Growth Partnership Focused on Team-based Pickleball

Published

By

Partnership pairs ATPL’s national affiliate network with Rally’s pickleball league management software to standardize team-based pickleball leagues across the country.

CHICAGO, Sept. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Rally and the American Team Pickleball League (ATPL) today announced a national growth partnership to expand standardized, team-based pickleball leagues across the United States. Rally’s pickleball league management software for league admins and pickleball league management app for players power several of the largest pickleball leagues in North America on a platform trusted for 28 years. Under the partnership, ATPL affiliates nationwide will run on that platform, and the two organizations will co-invest in marketing, onboarding, and league infrastructure to support ATPL’s national expansion.

“The American Team Pickleball League has spent years building the infrastructure, format, and community that make team pickleball work at a local level. Rally’s team pickleball app helps that model scale nationally.” — Ross Freedman, Founder and CEO, Rally

ATPL has built one of the fastest-growing team-based pickleball networks in the country, offering local affiliates a proven format, a structured competitive pathway, and a national championship. Rally acquired Pickleballscores in July 2026 as part of its acquisition of the Tenniscores platform, and brings modern technology, national marketing capabilities, and investment to fuel ATPL’s growth.

“ATPL has spent years building the infrastructure, format, and community that make team pickleball work at a local level. Rally’s team pickleball app helps that model scale nationally. Every new affiliate ATPL brings on strengthens the network for everyone in it.”

— Ross Freedman, Founder and CEO, Rally

“We’ve always believed team-based pickleball needed the same kind of national structure that tennis has had for decades. Partnering with Rally gives our affiliates a pickleball team app built for exactly that, and gives us the resources to bring more leagues into the fold.”

— Greg Mather, Founder, American Team Pickleball League

As part of the partnership, Rally will serve as the title sponsor for the ATPL National Championship. The event is scheduled for November 5-8, 2026, hosted at Pictona at Holly Hill in Holly Hill, Florida. ATPL will continue to lead affiliate recruitment, league format, and the national championship pathway, while standardizing on Rally’s pickleball league management platform across its network.

Pickleball has become the fastest-growing sport in the country, with participation reaching 24.3 million players in 2025, according to the Sports & Fitness Industry Association. Despite that growth, team-based league play remains fragmented, with no single national organization providing the standardized format, ratings structure, and championship pathway that sports like tennis have relied on for decades. ATPL was built to close that gap, giving local affiliates a proven format and a clear path from community play to a national championship. This partnership gives ATPL the platform and resources to bring that structure to leagues nationwide as the sport continues to scale.

About Rally

Rally is the leading pickleball league management software and team pickleball app, trusted by pickleball leagues nationwide. Serving over 800 racquet sports leagues and over 1M players in North America, Rally brings scores, standings, schedules, lineups, and messaging into one place for admins, captains, and players. The Rally platform turns pickleball, tennis, platform tennis, and padel leagues into vibrant communities. Learn more at lovetorally.com.

About ATPL

The American Team Pickleball League (ATPL) is a national network of independent, team-based pickleball affiliates, offering a standardized competitive format, training and onboarding support, and a pathway to the ATPL National Championship. Learn more at atplnation.org.
