BOULDER, Colo. (April 29, 2014) – The number of players trusting KBS shafts in their irons and wedges each week on the PGA Tour is at an all-time high. Thus far in 2014, KBS has already added 13 players, bringing the total number on the PGA Tour to 54. The majority of those switching into KBS play one of three shaft models: KBS TOUR, KBS C-TAPER or KBS TOUR-V.
“The growth of KBS on Tour has really been remarkable,” said Rob Cheng, CEO of KBS Golf Shafts. We’ve noticed a significant increase in players using KBS in just a few short years. The 2013 season and the beginning of this year are perfect indicators,” said Cheng.
In 2010, two years after being founded, KBS had 19 PGA Tour players in the field. The following season, that number increased to 30 and reached 38 by the end of 2013. The 2013 season proved to be the most successful to date (in terms of wins), with 27 professional worldwide wins, three of which were majors.
“We’re looking forward to the rest of the year, especially considering the rapid adoption of our newest product, the KBS TOUR-V shaft,” said Cheng.
