Volvik, the #1 Color Golf Ball on Tour, today announced the signing of PGA TOUR winner Tim Petrovic to their professional tour staff.
“I am always looking for the next breakthrough in performance in golf equipment and I believe I found it with Volvik,” said Petrovic. “When I first started testing the Volvik golf balls, I couldn’t believe how good they were around the greens. I was able to really spin it! Then I hit ten straight balls past the balls I was comparing them to. I said, ‘What’s the deal with these colored golf balls?’ Now I know, they just make high performance products.”
Petrovic has earned over $12 million in career earnings on the PGA TOUR and Web.com Tour including one PGA TOUR victory, 11 Top 3 finishes, 34 Top 10 finishes and 104 Top 24 finishes. Petrovic won the 2005 Zurich Classic of New Orleans on the PGA TOUR.
“Tim Petrovic joining the Volvik professional staff means that Volvik has made it to the big dance,” said Volvik USA President Don Shin. “Showing the world that our golf balls are not only good enough to be played by a current PGA TOUR player and former winner on the PGA TOUR, but that we are confident they will help him improve his performance. This signing should add some perspective to our LPGA Tour success and recent signings of Champions Tour legends of the game. We are very serious about making golfers aware that we provide the best of the best of ultra-high performance golf balls.”
In 2013, Petrovic made six of 12 cuts on the PGA TOUR, with one Top 10 finish. He made the cut in six of 11 starts on the Web.com Tour and had three Top 25 finishes, including two in the Tour Finals – a T19 at the Chiquita Classic and a T17 at the Web.com Tour Championship. Petrovic finished No. 53 in the 2013 Web.com Tour playoffs, just one shot shy of regaining full status on the PGA Tour.
From 2007-2010, he made the PGA TOUR Playoffs and finishing in the top 90 of the FedExCup standings the first four seasons of its existence. Petrovic is a member of the University of Hartford Hall of Fame. Teammates at University of Hartford in 1988 included PGA TOUR members Patrick Sheehan and Jerry Kelly.
“Tim is a pro’s pro,” said National Director of Sales and Marketing, Jon Claffey.”He’s played in almost 500 PGA TOUR and Web.com Tour events and he has seen it all. With his fun personality he exudes in life and in his game, we feel Tim is the perfect addition to the Volvik staff.”
