Brand Played In Driver by Every Tour Winner This Weekend
(Vista, CA – June 2, 2008) Fujikura shafts were played in the driver of every Tour winner this weekend, including the PGA, LPGA, Nationwide and Champions Tour tournaments.
“This ‘grand slam’ achievement absolutely demonstrates the superior performance of Fujikura shafts when played by these talented champions,” says Dave Schnider, President and COO of Fujikura. “We salute all these great players and our OEM clubmaker partners whose collaboration with us is making Fujikura the most desired shaft for these leading Tour professionals.”
“We are impressed with these champions and their victories because they prove the value of Fujikura’s great commitment and teamwork to developing innovative, performance shafts with our OEM clubmaker partners. They also show the importance of working deliberately with all players and our partners to assure pros are fitted with the most effective shaft for their game,” says John Hovis, Fujikura PGA Tour representative.
Fujikura 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, LPGA and Champions Tours’ first major championships.
