Titleist Ambassador Charley Hoffman Captures Bob Hope Chrysler Classic
Fairhaven, MA (January 22, 2007) – Birdie-eagle-birdie. That was how Charley Hoffman closed out the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic to earn his first career PGA Tour title in a playoff, proving he is indeed better than ever.
The golf ball Hoffman trusted is also better than ever. The Titleist Pro V1 prototype. In fact, the winners of the first three PGA Tour events this year – Vijay Singh, Paul Goydos and Hoffman – have all relied upon a new Titleist Pro V1 prototype for their early season success. A Titleist ambassador, Hoffman also trusted Titleist from tee to green, carrying a full bag of Titleist equipment.
