Wins Count at PGA, Champions & Nationwide Events
(Vista, CA – May 23, 2008) Fujikura has won the driver shaft brand count at this week’s PGA, Champions and Nationwide Tour events
“Fujikura’s impressive leadership this week across these Tours continues to demonstrate that our shafts improve the performance of players of all skill levels,” says Dave Schnider, President/COO of Fujikura. “As the golf season evolves, Fujikura is clearly the premier shaft choice for these accomplished Tour professionals.”
“These wins are especially exciting because these talented and discriminating players respect the innovative material design and technology, and superior performance of Fujikura shafts in partnering with our OEM clubmakers,” says John Hovis, Fujikura PGA Tour representative.
At the Senior PGA Championship this week, Fujikura shafts were played by twice as many players as its two leading competitors combined. Fujikura also was the #1 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.
This dominant leadership position reinforces Fujikura’s position as the PGA Tour’s #1 Driver and Wood shaft brand for the last eight years. This 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.
Fujikura is the primary supplier to many national brand OEM’s offering both proprietary and brand product shaft designs. Fujikura products also can be custom fitted through its network of over 900 Charter Dealers. To learn more about Fujikura, visit www.fujikuragolf.com.
