BUFFALO, N.Y., – PGA Professional and OnCore Ambassador Erik Compton received an exemption and will be entering the field in this week’s 2021 Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial Country Club. Erik will be playing the VERO X1 tour ball and competing against a stacked field including Phil Mickelson, fresh off his historic win at the PGA Championship. Other notable contenders include Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, and Collin Morikawa.
Both Erik Compton and Charles (“Chuck”) Schwab share a common tie in that they both play OnCore Golf tour balls. Schwab is a significant shareholder in OnCore and currently plays the yellow ELIXR golf ball. Compton, until this year, had played Titleist balls but made the switch after play-testing the recently introduced VERO X1 ball. Colonial’s champion in 1975 and 1979 was yet another golfer with an OnCore connection – Al Geiberger (Mr. 59) – who shot 270 and was the Players Tournament Champion in ’75. Al has been a shareholder and ambassador for OnCore Golf for the past five years and regularly plays both the ELIXR and VERO X1 balls.
“We are thrilled to have two great ambassadors representing OnCore this week. Erik is an incredible athlete who has persevered through two heart transplants and yet remains competitive at the highest levels in golf. Chuck Schwab has been successful in the world of finance as an innovator and disruptor – traits that describe OnCore Golf as well.” remarked Steve Coulton, OnCore co-founder and VP of Sales.
OnCore wishes Erik, Chuck, and all of the professionals participating in this storied tournament a great week of exceptional golf and competition.
