(Vista, CA – May 9, 2008) Fujikura has won the Driver and Wood Shaft Brand count which includes hybrids at The Players Championship.
“Being the leader at this ‘fifth’ major demonstrates how this premier field trusts the performance of Fujikura shafts in the most challenging and competitive tournaments,” says David Schnider, President/COO of Fujikura. “Additionally, we are particularly excited because this builds on our leadership position that included winning these counts at last month’s Masters.”
“This Players’ win is rewarding because these brilliant players recognize the importance of precisely fitting shafts to their performance on this very demanding golf course,” says Mike Sposa, Fujikura PGA Tour representative. “We are excited that these accomplished players 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 Players’ 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.
