Original Penguin is adding to its athlete roster.
The company, which is a division of Perry Ellis International, has signed Carolina Chacarra as its newest golf ambassador.
Born in Madrid, Chacarra became a star at Wake Forest University, where she became one of the most recognized players in collegiate golf. During her amateur career, she was named ACC Freshman of the Year in 2022, earned inclusion on the 2022 and 2025 Arnold Palmer Cup teams, won the 2023 NCAA Championship title, and, in 2025, received the Inkster Award, an honor presented to the top-ranked NCAA senior.
