SOUTHERN PINES, N.C. … Power management company Eaton announced today that its Golf Pride Grips Division was the leading grip brand of choice by players at the 2014 BMW Championship at historic Cherry Hills Country Club. In fact, 58 out of 70 (83%) players competing in the FedEx Cup’s penultimate event trusted their games to Golf Pride grips.
Of those playing Golf Pride, 41 players relied on the brand’s popular Tour Velvet family of grips in their quests for golf’s most lucrative prize. That single model’s usage exceeded all other competing brand’s total usage in Colorado by nearly 3.5 times.
“Winning the FedEx Cup can be a career-altering experience, so it is a tremendous endorsement that the best players in the world are relying on Golf Pride during the playoffs,” said Brandon Sowell, global sales and marketing director for Golf Pride. “The end of the FedEx Cup playoffs promises to be exciting and once again we’re proud that Golf Pride is right in the thick of the action with 19 of the current top 20 in the FedEx Cup standings trusting our grips.”
