#1 Brand at 95 Percent of All U.S. Tour Events
(Vista, CA – April 28, 2008) Fujikura is the #1 the Driver shaft brand at 95% of all U.S. Tour events including the PGA, LPGA, Champions and Nationwide Tours through the first quarter of 2008 competition. This includes winning the counts at the PGA and LPGA Tours’ first major championships.
“The Fujikura dominant leadership position this quarter is certainly gratifying for our entire team,” says Dave Schnider, Fujikura’s new President and COO. “Additionally, we are thrilled with the consistent play and success that our products enjoy at all levels of competition. Fujikura is overwhelmingly the top driver shaft brand choice for professional men, women and seniors.”
“As all the tours gain momentum, we are excited to see our brand’s usage and performance become so preeminent,” says John Hovis, Fujikura PGA Tour representative. “These accomplishments continue to validate the great partnership and success Fujikura continues to have working with these great golfers and leading OEM clubmakers to produce the most innovative technology and products for players of all skill levels.”
This dominant leadership position 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. On the 2007 LPGA and Champions Tours, Fujikura was the #1 Driver and Wood Shaft brand at their respective U.S. major championships.
