ATLANTA, GA (June 8, 2017) – Giving a golf gift to a golfing dad is a longstanding tradition just ask some of the world’s best golfers who are sharing their favorite Father’s Day gift ideas.
Sergio Garcia, Jordan Spieth, Lee Westwood, Rickie Fowler, Jason Day, Dustin Johnson, Rickie Fowler, Bubba Watson, Matt Kuchar and others have teamed up with PGA TOUR Superstore, the nation’s most expansive and most stocked Golf & Tennis Store, to hand-pick the best Father’s Day gift ideas for 2017.
“Obviously the best gift for dad this Father’s Day is the M2 Driver (from TaylorMade).” said Garcia who attributed the driver to playing a hand in his recent (and first) Major championship win, resulting in the green jacket. “It’s long and forgiving as everyone saw at the Masters the way I hit it and it’s a must have in the bag.”
Spieth, on the other hand, is so passionate about his gift choice he is willing to give the shoes right off his feet this Father’s Day – literally – with the Spieth One from Under Armour. “It’s a fantastic golf shoe. Its flexibility, innovation and performance are going to make you a better golfer out there,” said the 2015 Masters Champion who has nine PGA TOUR career wins.
Lee Westwood rebutted, the “best, no brainer gift idea this Father’s day is the Sigma G Tyne Putter from PING. “It has great feel, is easy to line up and you can make a lot of putts with it,” added Westwood, who has 35 official wins around the globe.
With more product choices under one roof than any other national golf retailer, National retailer PGA TOUR Superstore has coast-to-coast interactive destinations and expects sales will surge 50% compared to non-holiday times.
