Naples, FL – The #24 ranked PGA Champions Tour player going into this week won the Chubb Classic by four shots for his 3rd career PGA Champions win.
The winner was playing a Tour Edge Exotics CBX 15-degree 3-wood and an 18-degree Exotics CBX hybrid.
At the par-5 17th hole on the Talon course at TwinEagles, the winner regained the lead by hitting ‘a perfect 3-wood’ with his Exotics CBX, setting up a birdie.
“I very was fortunate I put a new 3-wood in my bag this week,” said the 2018 Chubb Classic Champion. “It doesn’t have any left in it typically, so I knew the water was probably out of play. Right wasn’t very good, but I hit a good shot there [at 17].”
The winner earned $240,000 and moved to No. 3 in the Charles Schwab Cup standings.
Two Exotics CBX fairway woods were also in play by the 2nd place finisher, Tim Petrovic, who fired a 64 to climb up the Sunday leader board.
In all at the Chubb Classic, Exotics by Tour Edge CBX clubs were in play by the winner, the runner-up, a 7th place finisher and a 10th place finisher for a total of four Top 10 finishes.
In addition, six players playing the CBX metalwoods finished in the Top 25 of the Naples, FL event. Bart Bryant finished T25 with an Exotics CBX fairway wood and hybrid in play. The 15th place finisher was playing an Exotics CBX Iron-Wood.
“First of all, I’d like to congratulate the winner of the Chubb Classic,” said Tour Edge founder and Master Club Designer David Glod. “When I designed the Exotics CBX fairway wood and hybrid, I did so with the intent that I wanted to make a club that could truly help a tour player win an event like this with a Titanium face, low spinning metalwood that was hard to turn left. For me, the reason I do all of this is to make a club that checks all the boxes for every player type and I believe that with this win, the Exotics CBX has been validated as the best fairway wood and hybrid on the market for the golfer who is looking for low spin, less dispersion and distance gain.”
There have been 27 Exotics CBX fairways, hybrids and Iron-Woods put into play on the PGA Champions in the three events held so far, making Tour Edge one of the top played manufacturers in the metalwood categories and making Exotics CBX the fastest growing metalwoods on the PGA Tours. Exotics CBX hybrids were the #2 ranked hybrid model in play at the Chubb Classic.
After a 3rd place finish to start the 2018 season in Hawaii and another 3rd place finish in Boca Raton, Exotics CBX metalwoods have now earned one victory, four Top 5 finishes and eight Top 10 finishes after only three events to the 2018 season.
This week the PGA Champions Tour season has a week off before moving to the Cologuard Classic in Tucson March 2.
The new Exotics CBX fairway woods and hybrid were designed with a multi-material construction that includes the top of the line in Beta Titanium, Hyper Steel and Carbon Composite materials. This unique combination of three different materials helps produce a penetrating ball flight that cuts through windy conditions and lowers side spin rates for greater accuracy.
They are currently the only Titanium face fairway woods and hybrids available for sale in the US market.
The Exotics CBX hybrid’s higher CG is located slightly forward in the club head through the use of a carbon fiber in the sole, which is significantly lighter than stainless steel. This helps to increase ball speed and reduce spin, which makes for less dispersion Tour Edge’s extremely thin Beta-titanium cup-face enlarges the ideal hitting area on the clubs.
It is brazed to stainless steel behind the hitting area which allows the face to flex more at impact, while the Speed Ramp sole design o provide reduced turf interaction so the club can maintain its speed through the hitting area. This has led to independent robot tests that have shown the CBX to average more than 16 yards longer in distance than several of the best selling fairway woods on the market.
The Tour Edge Exotics CBX fairway woods, Exotics CBX hybrids and Exotics CBX Iron-Woods are currently available at select authorized Tour Edge retailers. To find a Tour Edge retailer near you, call (800) 515-3343 or visit touredge.com.
