CARLSBAD, Calif. (December 9, 2008) Two-time PGA tournament winner Sean O’Hair, who has been on the TaylorMade-adidas Golf staff since 2004, has extended his relationship with the company for multiple years.
“After four years on the PGA Tour, I can’t imagine using anything but TaylorMade Golf equipment and adidas Golf apparel and footwear. It’s easily the best product line whether you’re a Tour pro or a recreational player,” said O’Hair. “TaylorMade-adidas Golf has been like a family to me and I am excited to continue this relationship. The people behind the products are golfers, so they understand the game and are committed to building the best products for all golfers.”
O’Hair, who earlier this year became the youngest golfer to win the PODS Championship and is just one of just seven players younger than 30 with two or more wins on the PGA TOUR, has earned more than seven million during his young four-year career and has been ranked as low as No. 35 in the Official World Golf Ranking.
He captured his first career victory in 2005 at the John Deere Classic en route to capturing PGA Tour Rookie of the Year honors.
O’Hair will continue play TaylorMade golf clubs, play a No. 28 TP golf ball, wear the TaylorMade logo on the front of his headwear, use a TaylorMade staff bag and wear adidas Golf footwear and apparel.
“Sean’s professional approach and appreciation for the game embodies everything that our company stands for and we are thrilled to continue our relationship with him,” said Chuck Presto, senior vice president of global sports marketing. “Sean has developed into a fantastic golfer and we look forward to building and outfitting him with the best golf equipment in the world as continues his career.”
