(Vista, CA – April 11, 2008) Fujikura has won the Driver and Wood shaft brand count which includes hybrids at the Masters, the first 2008 major championship.
“Being number one at the first major demonstrates how this world-class field trusts the performance of Fujikura shafts in the most challenging and competitive tournaments,” says Peter R. Sanchez, President/COO of Fujikura. “Additionally, we are particularly honored to have our shaft used in the opening shot of the Masters by one of golf’s legendary and revered players.”
“This Masters win is rewarding because these brilliant players recognize the importance of precisely fitting shafts to their performance on this very demanding golf course,” says John Hovis, Fujikura PGA Tour representative. “We are thrilled that these pros continue to show their confidence in the innovative material design and technology, and superior performance of Fujikura shafts when matched with our OEM clubmakers.”
Winning the Masters’ count builds on Fujikura’s position as the PGA Tour’s #1 Driver and Wood shaft brand for the last eight years. This leadership position was highlighted by being the #1 Driver Shaft Brand at all four men’s majors in 2007 — The Masters, the U.S. Open Championship, the Open Championship and the PGA Championship.
