True Temper Chalks Up Wins on PGA and European Tours


MEMPHIS, Tenn. — True Temper branded golf shafts continue to dominate the winner’s column for both the PGA and European Tours. Delivering unparalleled performance and shot-making accuracy, True Temper steel shafts chalked up a win for the Sony Open on the PGA Tour and the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship on the European Tour.

 

A former Masters champion, this week’s winner at the Sony Open played Dynamic Gold steel shafts in his irons and closed with a 5-under 65 on Sunday for a two-shot victory. In addition, every player in the Top 20 money positions played shafts, designed and manufactured by True Temper. On the European Tour, the 31-year-old champion took top honors playing Project X steel shafts in his irons, while the second- and third-place winners also trusted True Temper products in their irons.

“These victories mark the second straight week that True Temper shafts captured the top money on the world’s two largest pro tours, and we are obviously very pleased that so many of the world’s best players trust True Temper innovation,” says Scott Hennessy, president and CEO of True Temper Sports. “Dynamic Gold and Project X steel shafts continue to raise the bar on performance each and every week.”

 

Last week, True Temper captured victories at the Mercedes-Benz Championship on the PGA Tour and the Joburg Open on the European Tour. At the Mercedes, all Top Five money winners played shafts designed and manufactured by True Temper.

 

The top-selling steel shafts in golf, Dynamic Gold shafts feature a high-flex, tour weight design that provides skilled players with a low, penetrating ball flight for optimum control and accuracy. True Temper’s Project X steels shafts are another highly popular line of shafts which have earned worldwide acclaim. The Project X features a dedicated constant taper rate per inch for each shaft in the set. Longer taper rate results in more energy transfer to the ball and the ball gets up faster and flattens out for a penetrating trajectory. Dynamic Gold shafts are available in tapered and parallel irons and parallel woods, while Project X steel shafts are available in tapered and parallel irons.
