MEMPHIS, Tenn. (September 15, 2014) – True Temper, the No. 1 shaft in golf, capped off a superlative year after securing wins with both the TOUR Championship and FedEx Cup at East Lake Golf Club. With this win, the company celebrates victories in all four Majors, World Golf Championship events and FedEx Cup Playoff events on the 2013-2014 PGA TOUR.
In only a matter of weeks, the winner of the TOUR Championship captured back-to-back PGA TOUR titles and jumped to No. 1 on the FedEx Cup points, trusting True Temper shafts in his irons and wedges. The Florida native gained a critical two-shot lead on Sunday after a 55-foot pitch shot and impressive par putt on the 16th. He then went on to post a final 11-under 269 to solidify a three-stroke victory.
The win delivered the TOUR Championship title, the FedEx Cup and an $11.44 million payday.
“The TOUR Championship and FedEx Cup playoff series showcase the best golfers on the PGA TOUR and we are extremely proud to take home both titles along with all four Majors this season,” said Chad Hall, director of product marketing and global tour operations for True Temper Sports. “The fact that golf’s biggest champions this season trusted True Temper shafts is a testament to the advanced engineering that has delivered Tour-proven accuracy, distance and consistency to players year after year.”
