LAURINBURG, N.C. â?¦ Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corporation announced today that the majority of touring professionals who played in the PGA Tour Barclays Championship depended on Golf Pride® grips.
Golf Pride grips were used by 25 of the top 30 finishers who played in the Barclays held at the Westchester Country Club in Harrison, New York, August 23 – 26.
"The stakes were high this past weekend as the FedEx Cup got underway, and the majority of top golfers relied on Golf Pride grips," said Jeff Fiorini, general manager for Eaton’s Golf Grip Division.
