PLANO, TEXAS, December 13, 2007 – Adams Golf (OTCBB:ADGO) announces the endorsement contract extension of PGA TOUR player Brad Elder. Elder, 32, makes his return to the PGA TOUR after finishing as the 17th-ranked player on the 2007 Nationwide Tour Money List. He will continue to wear the Adams Golf hat, carry the Adams Golf tour staff bag and will play the company’s hybrids and woods.
Elder won the Preferred Health Systems Wichita Open by four strokes, which was the largest margin of victory in the tournament’s 18-year history. The win also marked Elder’s third Nationwide Tour victory in his professional career, which began in 1998 after playing collegiate golf at The University of Texas. As a regular on the PGA TOUR from 2000-03, Elder earned over $1.5 million with career-best finishes of T2 at the SEI Pennsylvania Classic and 3rd place at the Southern Farm Bureau Classic.
"I’m looking forward to playing again on the PGA TOUR in 2008 and I’m excited about my continued partnership with Adams Golf, one of the best equipment companies in the game," said Elder. "Living only a few miles away from the Adams Golf headquarters affords me the opportunity to work closely with their staff and use their facilities for both testing and working on equipment. The success they’ve had over the past few years on tour is due in large part to the outstanding team of engineers as well as the guys in the tour department who I work with day to day. I completely trust the quality and performance of the equipment they provide me."
Last season on the Nationwide Tour, Elder captured one victory, six Top 10s and nine Top 25 finishes adding up to over $230,000 in winnings. He is an avid sports fan and enjoys watching sports when he’s not working on his golf swing. A native of Oklahoma, Elder got his start in golf from his father.
"We’ve been proud to have Brad on our staff for over the last two years and extremely happy for him and his family regarding his return to the PGA TOUR," said Chip Brewer, Adams Golf president and CEO. "Brad is a fine player and a class individual who deserves to be playing on golf’s biggest stage. We know he will be a wonderful ambassador for our brand and we look forward to supporting him towards continued success."
