HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif., – Delivering a sizzling Sunday finish, Srixon staffer Hideki Matsuyama captured the Hero World Challenge in a playoff, earning his second career title at the event and marking his first appearance since 2018.
Matsuyama closed the week at 22-under par, including an impressive 8-under 64 on Sunday, before winning in a playoff with a decisive approach shot that he stuck inside five feet to set up the victory.
Matsuyama’s world-class precision was on full display all week. He tied for first in Strokes Gained: Total (9.7), finished top 10 in Approach, and dominated the field in Strokes Gained: Around the Green (1st) and Scrambling (1st), getting up-and-down on 18 of 20 chances. This balanced, high-level performance powered Matsuyama to the top of an elite field and delivered his second win of the season and his 12th PGA TOUR victory overall.
Matsuyama trusted a full lineup of Srixon and Cleveland Golf products throughout the week, including:
- Srixon ZXi LS 9.5° Driver
- Srixon Z-Forged II Irons (4i-9i)
- Cleveland Golf RTX 4 Forged Wedges (48°, 52°, 56°, 60°)
- Srixon Z-STAR XV Golf Ball
From precise iron play to steady driving and elite wedge play, Matsuyama once again displayed the trademark consistency that has shaped his career, alongside his trusted equipment.
This week also featured strong performances across Team Srixon, including top-five finishes by Sepp Straka and J.J Spaun, further highlighting the dominant presence Srixon players have had on leaderboards all season.
