May 28, 2008; Phoenix Arizona: More players in the just-completed Women’s NCAA Division I Championships at the University of New Mexico Championship Course played PING® irons, drivers, fairway woods and hybrids than any other brand, PING announced today. In addition, the individual winner played PING clubs.
The source of the information is the Darrell Survey Report.
“Naturally, we are very satisfied with our performance at the Women’s NCAA Championships,” said PING Chairman & CEO John Solheim. “The top women golfers at both the amateur and professional levels remain an important focus for us. Results like these are further proof that the very best college golfers continue to rely on PING.”
The individual champion from Arizona State University chose a PING G10® driver, Rapture® 5 and 7-woods, a combination set of S58® and i5® irons and a Redwood® Piper S™ putter.
By category, the G10 driver was chosen by 20% of the participants-nearly twice the next closest model according to the survey. More than 25% of the players used PING irons, with the S58 being the most popular PING model.
In golf bags, PING continued its dominance in leading the way with 75% of the participants carrying a PING stand bag in the event.
“Our college programs have been instrumental in making sure our stand bags maintain their strong appeal among college golfers,” added Solheim. “To once again be the overwhelming choice in the face of fierce competition at this level adds even greater satisfaction.”
