Two 3Rd Place Finishes for Tour Edge Exotics Clubs at Senior Open Championship Two 3rd place Finishes for Tour Edge Exotics Clubs at Senior Open Championship Tour Edge Earns 9th Top 10 in the Majors on 2019 PGA Tour Champions Two players using Tour Edge Exotics golf clubs at the Senior Open Championship finished in the Top 3 at Royal Lytham & St. Annes Golf Club, host course of the fifth and final Major championship of the 2019 PGA Tour Champions season. A former two-time U.S. Open champion and Tour Edge Exotics staffer Tim Petrovic both finished tied for 3rd in the 33rd annual Senior Open Championship Sunday. These are the same two players that finished 1st and 2nd in the previous Major event, the Senior Players Championship, just two weeks ago. The former two-time U.S. Open champion played an Exotics CBX 119 hybrid to a 3rd place finish in England, shooting a 66 on Sunday to finish 3–under-par for the tournament. It was the 3rd Top 5 finish in a Major event this year for the South African, including the win at the Senior Players. Petrovic also finished in 3rd place at the Senior Open after a 68 in the final round playing an Exotics CBX fairway wood and two Exotics CBX Iron-Woods. He has earned three runner-up finishes and the 3rd place finish in Majors since switching to Tour Edge clubs. Another player finished in the Top 10 of the Senior Open Championship playing two Exotics CBX Iron-Woods, giving Tour Edge clubs their 9th Top 10 finish in the five Major championships played on the 2019 PGA Tour Champions season. The nine Top 10 Major finishes include a victory, two runner-up finishes and six Top 5 finishes. Exotics clubs earned 11 Top 10’s in Majors last season for a grand total of 20 Top 10’s in the last 10 Majors played on the PGA Tour Champions. “Players using our equipment have performed extremely well in the Major championships and that has given us even more exposure in these events that air on network television,” said Tour Edge President and Master Club Designer David Glod. “Since we started our Champions tour program 18 months ago, we have had over 75 players play Tour Edge Exotics and our clubs have been a part of 11 wins and over 50 Top 5 finishes, 13 of which have been Top 5’s in Majors.” After 17 events on the 2019 PGA Tour Champions season, Exotics have been in play for five victories, 18 Top 5 finishes, 28 Top 10 finishes and 61 Top 5 finishes.

    Historic merger finalised An update from the Ladies’ Golf Union and The R&A We have great pleasure in writing to inform you that the merger of the Ladies’ Golf Union (LGU) and The R&A has been finalised and will come into effect from 1 January 2017. The merger of the two governing bodies is a historic and hugely exciting step which will enable us to support golf and speak with one voice for all those who play – women and men and girls and boys. A great deal of work has been carried out over the last year to bring the merger to completion and we would very much like to thank everyone who has played a part in the process and particularly the national associations, LGU affiliated clubs, partners and sponsors for the tremendous support we have received. Integration The integration of the two organisations puts us in a better, stronger position to realise our collective vision for growing the game of golf around the world and our combined resources and staff expertise will help us to achieve our shared aims for the development of golf. The completion of the merger is a progressive and important move for the development of women’s golf, including increasing girls’ and women’s participation and encouraging more families to enjoy golf as a recreational activity. Bringing the two organisations together creates a platform that will allow us to develop our aspirations for women’s golf on a global stage and encourage more girls and women to play golf and become members of golf clubs.
