Tiger Woods New Clubs / Memorial Win

Posted Jun 9, 2009, 8:23:00 AM CDT by trk.

Tiger Woods, who rarely makes equipment changes, has been tinkering a bit with his driver. A few weeks ago, he experimented with different shafts before returning to his tried and true Mitsubishi Diamana Whiteboard 83-gram shaft. At the Memorial, he changed lofts, going from a 9.5-degree head in his Nike SQ Dymo to 10.5 degrees.

"I went with a little more loft, 10 degrees," Woods said. (A Nike Golf press release noted that the head was actually 10.5 degrees with the effective loft of 10 degrees.)

"As my release has changed over time with Hank [Haney], I needed a little more loft to get the ball in the air, little more stem. Still hitting it just as far but probably a different way."

For the week, Woods averaged 298.4 yards off the tee (T-12) and was second in the field in driving accuracy with 87.5 percent, including 14 of 14 on Sunday.

Woods' driving accuracy may have also been improved because he used a fairway wood off the tee, especially during the weekend.

"I used it a lot more once the fairways got faster," Woods said of his Nike SQ2 3-wood. "As the fairways got faster and faster, a low 3 wood and even a low 5 wood at times would go almost 300 yards. The 5-wood down 17 went 290 or something. Don't normally hit it that far."

Woods also put a set of Nike's Forged Blades in his bag, swapping them for the Victory Red TW blades he used to win at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in March.

As far as upcoming changes to the bag, Woods said he is happy with his current clubs.

"As of right now, I think I'm going to stick with the same set of clubs, all 14," he said.

Angel At Augusta

Angel Cabrera Relies on FootJoy Golf Shoes to Capture the Masters

Fairhaven, MA - Drama on the back nine during the Masters is just as much a part of the tradition as the azaleas, and this year was no different as Angel Cabrera emerged from the emotional final round to win his first Masters. Trusting the stability and performance of FootJoy Classics Tour golf shoes, Cabrera survived not only the wild final round, but a tense three-man playoff en route to his second major championship. "This is a great moment, the dream of any golfer to win the Masters," Cabrera said through an interpreter during the green jacket ceremony. "I'm so emotional I can barely talk."

As the drama unfolded on the back nine at Augusta National with world-class players moving up and down the leaderboard, Cabrera, who won the U.S. Open two years ago, used his major championship experience to birdie three of his last six holes. He finished with a 12-under 276 total that earned him a spot in the first three-man playoff at Augusta National since 1987.

Joining Cabrera in the playoff were two other players who trust the performance and comfort of FootJoy products - Kenny Perry, who had a near hole-in-one on the 16th hole during the final round, wears a SciFlex glove; and Chad Campbell wore FootJoy Classics and a new prototype FootJoy glove this week. In total, 52% of all players in the Masters field wore FootJoy golf shoes.

At The Masters, Every Shot Counts With Titleist.

Angel Cabrera Wins First Green Jacket in Three-Way Pro V1x Playoff.

Fairhaven, MA (April 13, 2009) - When the Masters went into a three-way playoff, who would win his first green jacket was still in question. His golf ball was not. Angel Cabrera relied upon the New 2009 Pro V1x to top fellow Titleist loyalists Kenny Perry and Chad Campbell and captured his second career major. In fact, the top four finishers and 10 of the 16 qualifiers for next year's Masters, all trusted their games to Titleist golf balls for their success. The dramatic finish was further proof that when one shot can decide a major championship, the ball you play makes a difference. That's why more players choose the superior performance of Titleist, the #1 ball in golf.
