  • 05 Victory, 6Th on PGA Tour
    Callaway Golf Staffer Olin Browne Wins Deutsche Bank; Gives FT-3 Driver 15th Worldwide '05 Victory, 6th on PGA Tour September 6, 2005 CARLSBAD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 6, 2005--Callaway Golf (NYSE:ELY) Staff Professional Olin Browne calmly emerged from a pack of five overnight leaders yesterday to capture his third career victory on the PGA Tour -- and the sixth of the season for the Big Bertha® Fusion® FT-3(TM) Driver -- shooting a final-round 67 for a one-stroke win over Jason Bohn in the Deutsche Bank Championship at the TPC of Boston. Browne, 46, finished at 14-under 270 and earned $990,000 -- his largest check in 11 PGA Tour seasons. He trusted his resurgent game to Callaway Golf technology through the bag, using the exciting new FT-3 Driver, Big Bertha Fusion strong 3-wood, Big Bertha Steelhead III® 7-wood, X-Tour(TM) Irons (3-9), Callaway Golf Vintage Forged + Wedges (52-degree, 58-degree), the HX® Tour Golf Ball and an Odyssey® TF-1 Putter. Browne elevated his play for the week with a combination of longer, straighter driving -- his 284-yard average off the tee and 70 percent success rate hitting fairways surpassed his season averages -- and crisp iron play that allowed him to hit 75 percent of the greens in regulation on the demanding TPC of Boston layout. He is among the top five players on the PGA Tour in average distance from the pin on approach shots this year, and hit another signature iron shot at the 71st hole when he cut a 7-iron directly over the flagstick to set up a 15-foot birdie for the winning margin.

    MOVEMBER SET TO IMPROVE MEN’S HEALTH THIS NOVEMBER AT THE MELBOURNE WORLD CUP OF GOLF 21 June, 2018: To help raise much needed funds, and awareness of men’s health issues, the Movember Foundation will come in swinging following their appointment as the official charity of the Melbourne World Cup of Golf, to be held at The Metropolitan Golf Club from the 21-25 November 2018. And with players from 28 nations descending on Melbourne for the event, the opportunity exists for players and fans to sport a traditional national mo to support the cause and get involved. The Movember Foundation has one goal: to stop men dying too young. As the only global charity tackling men’s health issues year-round, the Foundation funds programs tackling prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention. In 2018, more than 1.4 million men globally will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. Three out of every four suicides are men and, in Australia, testicular cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men between the ages of 20 and 34. With those statistics, Melbourne World Cup of Golf Executive Director Robyn Cooper says the Movember Foundation is the perfect fit for the tournament. “We are proud to be able to support a global charity that was born in Melbourne,” Cooper said. “Approximately 75% of the world’s golfers are male and from Craig "The Walrus" Stadler to John Daly and our own Geoff Ogilvy to legendary caddie Mike "Fluff" Cowen, the moustache has long been the trademark of the stylish pro golfer.” The PGA TOUR has been a strong supporter of the moustache, with the Web.com Tour conducting the annual Moustache Madness contest at the Utah Championships every July.
