Top-of-the-line bags utilized by reigning British Open champion and other Tour leaders
CHICAGO, Dec. 20, 2007 – Wilson Golf today introduced its top-of-the-line golf bag offering, the Wilson Staff Tour series. The series, which includes the Wilson Staff Tour and the Wilson Staff Tour Carry, is specifically designed to enhance the Tour player’s image. Not only is the Wilson Staff Tour series the exclusive choice for many Tour players, but the Tour Carry bag was used by the newly announced 2007 European Player of the Year, Padraig Harrington, during his victory march at this year’s British Open.
