Mizuno Brings Back ‘Play Famously’
TOUR STARS CELEBRATE WILSON STAFF CENTENARY WITH RETRO BAGS
CHICAGO – January 29, 2014 – Tour stars including Padraig Harrington, Ricky Barnes and Kevin Streelman are set to unveil the new Wilson Staff Centennial Pro Tour bag to mark 100 years of outstanding Wilson Golf innovation – a period that has heralded an unrivalled number of Major victories with the company’s irons (61) and wedges (82).
The iconic red and white tour bag – which features the vintage Wilson Staff shield and retro branding – will be put into play this week by brand ambassadors on both the PGA and European Tours. Harrington, Streelman and Barnes will first showcase the special bag at the Waste Management Phoenix Open, while Paul Lawrie, Anthony Wall and newly-signed Marcel Siem will do the same at the Dubai Desert Classic.
“It’s an honor for me to represent the iron brand with more Majors, but it’s also an inspiration for me to add to the total Major wins,” said Streelman, who last year used his Wilson Staff FG Tour V2 irons and FG Tour TC wedges to champion the Tampa Bay Championship and finish runner-up in the prestigious in a special retro pack with six individually gold-foil wrapped balls inside, designed to resemble the classic style from the 1950s.
Also featuring the special centennial branding will be Wilson Staff’s neXus carry bag – which has proven extremely popular since its launch in October last year – as well as a range of headwear, headcovers, a towel and umbrella.
