Continues #1 Hybrid Position on Combined Men’s Tours
PLANO, TEXAS, February 19, 2007 – Adams Golf (OTCBB:ADGO) announces that its hybrids claimed the #1 spot in the hybrid counts of the Nationwide Tour’s Jacob’s Creek Open Championship and the Champions Tour’s Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am, according to the Darrell Survey. The company’s hybrids also ranked #2 in the hybrid count at the PGA TOUR’s Nissan Open. So far in 2007, more Adams Golf hybrids have been played by PGA, Champions and Nationwide Tour pros, combined, than any other hybrid on the market – Adams won that same combined hybrid count in 2006, as well.
"We thought the success we achieved in 2006 on the different pro tours was going to be difficult to surpass," said Max Puglielli, Adams Golf director of tour operations. "But the start that we’ve had in 2007, with hybrid count wins on the PGA TOUR along with our continued dominance on the Champions and Nationwide Tours, lets us believe that we’ll see similar, and even better results this year."
The Idea Pro Hybrid was the club of choice for the top finishers of both, the Nationwide Tour and Champions Tour last week. Scott Sterling played an 18-degree Idea Pro en route to his first career Nationwide Tour victory. His playing partner and runner-up at the event also played an 18-degree Idea Pro. The legendary Tom Watson, a traditionalist in every sense of the word, mixed in two Idea Pro Hybrids on his way to a victory at the Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am.
"We’ve turned the corner with hybrids," Puglielli added. "You see all types of golfers using them now, young and old, beginners and top professionals. I thought Tom Watson would be one of the last to play a hybrid and he’s been playing two Idea Pros this season. And Scott Sterling went head-to-head with one of Australia’s young, big bombers last week and they both played our hybrids."
Adams Golf accounted for 62 of the total hybrids in play on the Nationwide Tour last week, compared to only 22 hybrids in play from its nearest competitor. Along with winning the overall wood count and the fairway wood count, Adams Golf hybrids accounted for a staggering 54% of the total hybrids played at the Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am.
