The Honda Classic champion played Project X shafts and led the event wire-to-wire and shot a 2-under 68 to earn his first PGA TOUR victory. In addition to the victory, True Temper dominated the field at this weekend’s event with shafts in 19 of the Top 20 players’ bags.

“True Temper shaft technology has provided unparallel performance benefits for decades and we are very proud to consistently deliver winning results for tour pros around the world,” says Scott Hennessy, president and CEO of True Temper Sports. “The Honda Classic was another exciting PGA Tour event, and Project X shafts delivered the performance and accuracy that enables tour wins week after week.”

True Temper’s Project X and Dynamic Gold shafts are the most popular shafts played on the world tours today, and they already account for more tours wins this season than all other shaft brands combined.

True Temper’s Project X steels shafts are extremely popular line of shafts which have earned worldwide acclaim. Project X features a unique variable taper design with a dedicated taper rate per inch for each shaft in the set. Longer taper rate results in more energy transfer to the ball for a faster and flatter 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.

Leading off the triple victory, the left-handed champion at the CA Championship shot a 19-under 269 with True Temper’s Project X shafts in his Callaway irons; while the winners at the Puerto Rico Open and the New Zealand Open played True Temper’s Dynamic Gold shafts. In addition, eight of the Top 10 finishers at the CA Championship played True Temper shafts and all the Top 10 players in Puerto Rico Open played True Temper shafts in their irons.

“As the number one shaft manufacturer in the world, True Temper shafts often produce winning results, but a victory at a pro event never ceases to be an exciting time,” says Scott Hennessy, president and CEO of True Temper Sports. “High-performance Dynamic Gold and Project X shafts continue to set the industry standard for distance, accuracy and control on the PGA and other pro tours and it’s very rewarding to see so many tour pros trust True Temper products.”

The Project X shaft is another True Temper brand which is highly prized on Tour for providing a dedicated constant taper rate per inch for each shaft in the set. The longer taper rate more efficiently transfers energy 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.

This week’s Transitions champion finished at 8-under 276 and chalked up his seventh career victory on the PGA TOUR, moving him to fifth place in the FedExCup points race. He also won at Innisbrook in 2003, and is only the second player to have ever won this event more than once.

Our continued overwhelming success on the PGA Tour and other pro tours worldwide is a testament to True Temper technology,” says Scott Hennessy, president and CEO of True Temper Sports. “We congratulate this week’s PGA Tour champion and we look forward to continuing to provide him with the best performing shaft line up in the industry.”

Additionally, shafts designed and manufactured by True Temper captured 9 of the top 10 money positions this weekend.

While the PGA champion’s relative professional inexperience astounded many fans, his trust of high-performance Project X shafts was clearly a veteran move.

Nine of the Top 10 players at the PGA Championship also relied on Project X or one of True Temper’s other precision engineered shafts.

This unique design feature optimizes the flex distribution and energy transfer without sacrificing control. Stepless Design technology provides tip stiffness for stronger players, producing greater accuracy with a smooth yet solid feel at impact and optimum trajectory and spin control.

While the winner trusted Dynamic Gold to score first in eagles, tie for third in greens in regulation and tie for fourth in birdies, the rest of the field also overwhelming favored True Temper shafts. True Temper had 136 sets of irons in play and 93 percent of the players in the Top 10 trusted Dynamic Gold and Project X shafts, both manufactured by True Temper.

“We congratulate this year’s champion at Pebble Beach on a terrific victory with Dynamic Gold,” says Greg Cavill, True Temper’s manager of steel design. “Dynamic Gold is trusted by the best players in the world because its unique internal tip reinforcement technology makes it the ideal shaft for the skilled player who wants distance control and accuracy in his irons. This technology, which separates True Temper from other shaft manufacturers, is the foundation for all of our top-performing brands and provides us with the ability to fine tune tip response to enhance feel for tour-proven accuracy.”

Featuring a high-flex point and tour weight design, Dynamic Gold is the top-selling shaft in golf and is preferred by skilled players seeking a low, penetrating ball flight. True Temper’s Project X shaft is the second most played iron shaft on tour after Dynamic Gold, and features a unique variable taper design with a dedicated taper rate for each shaft in the set. The longer taper rate results in more energy transfer to the ball for a faster and flatter penetrating trajectory.
