KBS has two major winners from 2013 competing in the elite two day event
BOULDER, Colo. (October 15h, 2013) At the 2013 PGA Grand Slam of Golf, three of the four competing players are trusting KBS shafts for their irons. This elite two day event brings together three major winners of 2013 and a defending champion of the Grand Slam event. The KBS iron shafts trusted for this event are the KBS Tour, KBS C-Taper, and the new KBS Tour-V. Announced just two weeks ago, the KBS Tour-V shaft provides golfers a light weight, low spin option.
This event highlights the incredible growth of usage KBS has seen with the best players in the world. Currently, KBS is the trusted iron shaft of 4 of the Top 10 players in Official World Golf Rankings. In 2013, KBS saw a record 20 wins on professional tours worldwide including three major championships. In addition, KBS had two amateur victories at the prestigious U.S. Public Links Amateur and the 2013 PGA PNC.
The three players using KBS shafts are the 2013 Masters champion (Tour shaft), 2013 U.S. Open champion (C-Taper shaft), and a defending PGA Grand Slam of Golf champion (Tour-V shaft). The defending champion of the Grand Slam switched into the KBS Tour-V shaft last month after extensive testing. In addition to the two major champions above, another major champion in KBS shafts declined to play in this event. This professional trusted the KBS Tour-V shaft in irons and wedges for his 2013 Open Championship victory.
“This event highlights the fact that many of the best players in the world are choosing to switch their irons shafts to KBS. Players request KBS because of the better performance and feel. We are thrilled for their success and look forward to another great season in 2013-14.” said Kim Braly, Director of R&D and Tour Operations at KBS Golf Shafts.
