Brand Has Won Counts At LPGA’s First Three Majors
(Vista, CA – June 27, 2008) Fujikura has won the Driver and Wood shaft brand count which includes hybrids at the U.S. Women’s Open Championship, its third 2008 major tournament championship win on the women’s tour.
The brand has been the leading Driver and Wood shaft brand count at all the Tour majors in 2008, including the LPGA Championship, Kraft Nabisco Championship, U.S. Men’s Open, The Masters and Senior PGA Championship.
“Fujikura’s winning the counts at this third LPGA major and all Tour major tournaments this year powerfully validates that these premier players trust the performance of our shafts in the most challenging competitions featuring the world’s most talented fields,” says Dave Schnider, President and COO of Fujikura. “This continual success comes from the great technology and teamwork by our tour representatives and our OEM clubmaker partners.”
“This U.S. Open Championship leadership position is especially exciting because these outstanding golfers know that precisely fitting shafts can improve performance on a very demanding golf course,” says John Hovis, Fujikura PGA Tour representative. “We’re impressed that these pros continue to demonstrate their confidence in the innovative material design and technology, and superior performance of Fujikura shafts when matched with our OEM clubmakers.”
Winning these majors 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 and Wood Shaft brand at the LPGA’s 2007 U.S. major championships. Fujikura also was
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.
