Tour Edge in the bag for 3rd straight Schwab Cup Title
Tour Edge finished the 2022 PGA TOUR Champions season by being in the bag for their third straight Schwab Cup season title.
The 2022 Schwab Cup champion was playing a 22-degree Exotics C721 Hybrid in Phoenix this past weekend for the championship. He’s been playing the award-winning Exotics C721 hybrid since September of 2021 and plays it for specific course setups. He is not contracted to play any Tour Edge clubs.
The 51-year-old New Zealander has been the hottest player on the PGA TOUR Champions since playing his way into full status from a Monday qualifier midway through the 2020/21 season.
In 2022, the Schwab Cup winner earned four wins, four runners-up, four 3rd place finishes and 17 Top 10 finishes.
Tour Edge has now been in play for three straight Schwab Cup titles spanning over the last four years. Tour Edge staff player Scott McCarron won the 2019 Schwab Cup and fellow staffer Bernhard Langer won the 2020/21 Schwab Cup title.
Alex Cejka
Tour Edge staff player Alex Cejka Finishes 2nd at Charles Schwab Cup Championship
Including the season-long winner finishing in 3rd place to secure the season-long title, Tour Edge had two players finish in the Top 5 at the PGA TOUR Champions season finale last week at Phoenix Country Club.
Tour Edge staff player Alex Cejka finished solo 2nd at 20-under-par for the championship.
The runner-up finish pushed Cejka to finish 10th in the final 2022 Charles Schwab Cup point standings.
With Cejka’s runner-up this past week, Tour Edge has now been a part of 20 victories and 35 runner-up finishes on Champions since we started servicing the tour full-time in 2018.
That totals 55 1st and 2nd place finishes in the last 113 Champions events played (48% of all Champions events played).
Five players out of the Top 34 players on the PGA TOUR Champions were playing Tour Edge clubs at the Charles Schwab Cup Championship.
Scott McCarron
Driver leading the way for Tour Edge this year on the PGA TOUR Champions
In 2022, Tour edge experienced 175 different drivers in play on the PGA TOUR Champions. That’s the most drivers the company has seen in play in a single season.
Of the 175 drivers in play this season, 135 were Exotics 722 Series Drivers, accounting for 77% of the Tour Edge drivers that were put into play.
Twenty-two different players chose to play a Tour Edge driver this season. Since the start of the 2020 season, 38 different players have put an Exotics driver into tournament play.
That led the company to a driver victory, a runner-up finish, 19 Top 5 finishes and 36 Top 10’s with their drivers over the past two seasons.
“To have 38 different players choose to play Exotics drivers over the past two seasons is a big feather in our cap,” said Tour Edge founder, President, and master club designer David Glod. “None of these players were contracted to play our driver and only eight players are on any kind of a brand-endorsement contract. That means that all 38 of those players chose to play our drivers based on performance alone.”
“We feel like we have proven that we can go head-to-head with anyone in the industry in the driver category, which just happens to be the most competitive space in all of golf,” added Glod.
Tour Edge staffer Scott McCarron played an Exotics C722 Driver all season and finished the season 2nd in driving distance rankings with a 298.2 yards average off the tee.
Fellow staff player Ken Duke played an Exotics E722 Driver all season and ranked 6th in driving accuracy with 76.19% of fairways hit for the season.
Bernhard Langer
Langer Adds to his Legend in 2022 with Two Victories in 2022
Tour Edge staff player Bernhard Langer added to his legacy by winning the TimberTech Championship playoff event in his hometown of Boca Raton for his 44th PGA TOUR Champions victory.
Langer moved within one of Hale Irwin’s record 45 PGA TOUR Champions titles.
He also broke his own record as oldest winner in PGA TOUR Champions history at 65 years, 2 months, and 20 days, beating the record as the oldest TOUR-sanctioned winner with his victory at the 2022 Chubb Classic that took place at the start of the season.
Langer finished No. 6 on the season-long Charles Schwab Cup standings.
The TimberTech Championship victory was the 20th for Tour Edge clubs in play since the company started working full-time with Champions tour players in 2018.
Tour Edge Experiencing a Meteoric Rise on the PGA TOUR Champions
The company has seen 3,400 clubs in play by over 160 different PGA Tour professionals on the three PGA Tours over the last four seasons.
In that time, the company has earned 20 wins, 120 Top 5’s and 257 Top 10 finishes.
All in all, over 25 of the Top 100 players had Tour Edge in play in the 2022 season, including five players in the Top 25, and 14 players in the Top 50.
