Graphite Design Shafts Power Victories on DP World Tour and PGA Tour Champions

August 24, 2026

Carlsbad, CA – Pro’s Choice Golf Shafts, Inc. announced today that the winner of the DP World Tour Nexo Championship held at Trump International Golf Links, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, was playing a Graphite Design Tour AD LL-6 (Low Launch) X Stiff flex wood shaft in his Titleist GTS-4 Driver.  The champion shot a four-day score of 70, 71, 69, 67 for a total score of 11 under par to claim his 2nd DP World Tour title.

Additionally, the winner of the PGA Tour Champions Rogers Charity Classic, held at Canyon Meadows Golf & Country Club in Calgary, AB, Canada, was playing a Graphite Design Tour AD GC-6 X-Stiff flex wood shaft in his Titleist GTS-3 Driver, capturing his 12th PGA Tour Champions title.

“Congratulations to the winner of the NEXO Championship on the DP World Tour! The champion played the soon-to-be-released 2027 Graphite Design Tour AD LL, one of three shafts in an exciting new series from Graphite Design.  The champion showed tremendous determination and resilience to capture a well-deserved win”, stated Erik Boysen, Vice President of Tour Promotions, Pro’s Choice Golf Shafts, Inc.

An expansion of the Tour AD lineup, the Tour AD LL | ML | HL Series expands the heritage of Graphite Design’s premium performance shafts, consisting of three distinct profiles engineered specifically for confident and aggressive players who demand absolute stability and maximum ball speed.

The lineup features three distinct models—Tour AD LL – Low Launch, Tour AD ML – Mid Launch, and Tour AD HL – High Launch – giving fitters and players the ability to precisely dial in trajectory and spin in both driver and fairway woods.

Handmade in Japan to meet Tour AD’s strict quality standards, the series features the new proprietary Augmented AD Technology, powered by TORAYCA® advanced aerospace-grade carbon fiber materials. This next-generation tech enhances structural integrity in strategic portions of each model, delivering Tour-level stability no matter what launch profile you need.

Designed for players who desire a more stable, controlled profile, the Tour AD LL | ML | HL Series delivers consistency and confidence players demand at the highest levels of the game. With a unified performance standard across all three models, this series offers precision without compromise.  The Tour AD LL | ML | HL Series is planned to be released in early 2027.
