OAK BROOK TERRACE, IL – October 5, 2007 – Excel Golf Products, Inc. announced today that PGA Tour Players Kenny Perry, Dean Wilson, and Ryan Palmer have been signed to play the Zero Friction Performance Golf Tee and Tocaré Performance Golf Grips during the 2008 season.
"We’re thrilled that our products have had great success on the PGA Tour, and we’re proud to have such distinguished players on our Excel team." states John Iacono, Founder and CEO of Excel Golf.
Kenny Perry, who has been playing professionally since 1982, has had 9 PGA Tour victories. Since winning the 2005 Colonial playing the Zero Friction tee, he has been a loyal user of the product. This past season, he shot a final round 63 at the Memorial Tournament – the lowest final round ever recorded at the event.
Born in Kaneohe, Hawaii, Dean Wilson turned pro in 1992 after graduating from Brigham Young University. He has 9 worldwide wins and captured first place in the 2006 International. In 2006, Wilson posted a career-best six top-10’s and finished 22nd on the Tour’s season-ending money list.
After graduating from Texas A&M University, Ryan Palmer turned pro in 2000. His 2 professional victories include the 2003 Clearwater Classic and the 2004 FUNAI Classic. In 2006, Palmer made 20 cuts in 30 tournaments and collected more than $1 million in season earnings. His best finish in 2007 has been T3 at the Canadian Open.
Perry, Wilson and Palmer will all play the Zero Friction Performance Golf Tee, Excel Golf’s flagship product. Zero Friction is engineered with a unique patented three-pronged cup. This simple yet effective design provides less resistance between the golf ball and the tee resulting in longer, straighter drives.
All three PGA Tour players will also play Excel Golf’s newest offering, the Tocaré Performance Golf Grip. Tocaré Tour, the first line of grips for Tocaré, feature Vibration Diffusion Pattern (VDP) Technology. Composed of a unique internal diamond pattern, the grips diffuse vibration, providing for a more fluid swing. The multi-material composition provides optimum tackiness and feel while the Multi-Durometer design reduces grip pressure to allow golfers to swing more freely.
