Ping re-signs Oosthuizen to multi-year deal

Published

on

Ping has re-signed Louis Oosthuizen to a multi-year contract that will keep him using the Phoenix-based company’s golf clubs and wearing its apparel.

[quote_box_center]“Louis has a beautiful, fluid swing we’d all love to have; it is widely regarded as one of the best on tour,” said John Solheim, Ping’s Chairman and CEO. “On top of it, he has one of the most recognizable smiles in the game, and his easygoing nature makes him a fan favorite. Most important to his success, he’s remarkably consistent. Because of that, he has been among golf’s top players for several years and we’re proud to continue our long-standing relationship with someone who represents Ping so well across the world.”[/quote_box_center]

As part of the agreement, Oosthuizen will wear a Ping hat, carry a Ping staff bag and play a minimum of 11 Ping clubs, including a Ping driver and putter.

Oosthuizen, 32, has won seven times on the European Tour, including his major championship win at the 2010 Open Championship. He had one of the best years of his career in 2015, contending in both the 2015 U.S. Open (he finished T2), and Open Championship, where he lost in a playoff to winner Zach Johnson.

He is also one of 30 players who earned a spot in this week’s Tour Championship, the last event of the 2014-2015 PGA Tour season and its Playoff finale. He is currently the No. 13 in the Official World Golf Rankings.

    11 Clubs? I assume that give the flexibility to use different fairway woods and hybrids

    If he stays healthy he would be a safe bet to win a few more majors, South Africa seems to be a place that produces great swingers of the club. Him and Charl have some of the best swings on tour.

    Good luck to him. My favourite swing on tour. Seems like a good guy too.

Coolest thing for sale in the GolfWRX Classifieds (5/13/24): Full set of ‘Tiger Slam’ clubs

Published

on

At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals that all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.

It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, there is a listing for a full set of ‘Tiger Slam’ clubs.

From the seller: (@CaymanS): “During the year of recovery from leg surgery that never quite healed, I was bored.  One thing led to another, and I ended up gradually building/acquiring the individual pieces to complete a set of “Tiger Slam” clubs.  They are what Tiger played to win 4 consecutive majors, which nobody has ever done.  This is not an exact replica of course, but something close that fit me to play a few times per year and experience what Tiger did.  But my bad leg, 4 shoulder tears, and age prevents me from the ball-striking needed to enjoy these to their fullest.  They may not be everyone’s cup of tea, especially since the driver and fairway shafts are regular flex and most players good enough to play these will need to change them, but it’s not a perfect world.  I am not a historian on this stuff, but my research indicates these are the same models Tiger used, with slightly different specs to fit me.

Full set $1,600, or…

…a donation for a Pro Kids fundraiser, or…

Driver: $70

Fairway: $250

Irons: $1,100

Wedges: $100

Putter: $350″
