Bridgestone Adds More Youth to their Impressive Lineup
COVINGTON, Ga. – Bridgestone Golf, the #1 Ball-Fitter in Golf, announced today the signing of former college star Logan McAllister to its Tour staff. McAllister is great addition to a growing list of talented players sponsored by Bridgestone.
McAllister played four years at the University of Oklahoma where he was teammates with another Sooner star and recent Bridgestone signing, Chris Gotterup. Together the pair dominated with McAllister collecting ten top ten finishes and four wins, the second most wins in program history. The Oklahoma native was a two time All American, a member of the Big 12 First Team, and a Haskins Award finalist.
“I am extremely excited to be working with Bridgestone and to be playing the TOUR B XS golf ball,” said McCallister. “I’ve been fitted by their Tour team and the TOUR B XS is perfect for my game. It is so cool being on the same team as players like Tiger Woods, Jason Day, and my my old teammate, Chris Gotterup. And the support from Bridgestone, the leader in golf ball fitting, has been tremendous.”
The addition of McAllister not only adds more youth to Bridgestone’s Tour staff but also another TOUR B XS player, a ball that was designed with significant input from Tiger Woods.
“We are very pleased to add Logan to the Bridgestone family,” said Dan Murphy, President of Bridgestone Golf. “Yet another one of our players is going to prove how good our TOUR B lineup is, and I cannot wait to see what he accomplishes out there.”
The current Bridgestone TOUR B XS golf ball features a price of $49.99 per dozen. For more information on the entire family of TOUR B golf balls, visit www.bridgestonegolf.com.
