Bentley Golf unveils major champion as first brand ambassador

Just over a year after entering the golf equipment industry, Bentley
Golf has its first brand ambassador – and a two-time major winner at
that.

Tony Jacklin, who also played in seven Ryder Cups, will be using Bentley clubs as he continues to enjoy playing exhibition and pro-am golf events around the world.

I am truly delighted to be part of the Bentley Golf family

“I have driven Bentley for most of my life, the brand stands for the
very best and I am truly delighted to be part of the Bentley Golf family
as a Bentley Golf icon,” said Jacklin.

“The clubs are beautifully forged and remain consistent with the
Bentley brand that we have all come to love. They have given me a
renewed love for the game.”

Snedeker’s trip to the store

Disaster hit Brandt Snedeker ahead of the WGC-Dell Match Play as he
noticed his beloved Odyssey White Hot XG Rossie putter, which debuted at
retail a decade ago, had its head loose.

He played with an untested replacement putter against William McGirt
in his first match, which he lost 2DN, and headed into the local Golf
Galaxy store to get a replacement in time for his match against Andy
Sullivan on day two.

Snedeker went on to win his next two matches against Sullivan and Branden Grace, but it wasn’t enough to see him progress as McGirt won all three.

Change up for Knox

Srixon brand ambassador Russell Knox has put the company’s Z565 driver in play after a few months using the TaylorMade M2.

The Scot is the highest-ranked player using the new driver, which has
a larger clubhead and higher trajectory than Srixon’s Z765 driver.

Sergio goes for the Spider

In Dustin Johnson and Jon Rahm, both finalists at yesterday’s
WGC-Dell Match Play had the TaylorMade Spider Tour putter in the bag –
highlighting its position as the most successful putter on the PGA Tour
this season.

And, in addition to Jason Day and Ross Fisher – who put it in the bag
in Mexico – it has now worked its way into the bag of Sergio Garcia.

So, who’s next?

Wie’s magical wedges
