Brand Has Won the Driver Count At Every 2008 U.S. Tour Major
(Vista, CA – July 18, 2008) Fujikura has won the Driver Shaft Brand count at The Open Championship, extending its streak to every 2008 major tournament championship on the U.S. professional Tours.
The brand also has been the leading Driver Shaft Brand at The Masters, U.S. Men’s Open, U.S. Women’s Open, LPGA Championship, Kraft Nabisco Championship and the Senior PGA Championship.
“Winning the counts at this prestigious tournament and six other major championships powerfully validates that these accomplished 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 ongoing success comes from the great technology and teamwork by our tour representatives and our OEM clubmaker partners.”
“This Open Championship leadership position is particularly rewarding because these accomplished 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 professionals continue to demonstrate their confidence in the innovative material design and technology, and superior performance of Fujikura shafts when matched with our OEM clubmakers.”
Fujikura was the #1 Driver Shaft Brand at all PGA, LPGA, Champions and Nationwide Tour events in the second quarter of 2008 competition. The brand’s dominance reinforces Fujikura’s position as the PGA Tour’s #1 Driver and Wood shaft brand for the last eight years.
The company 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.
