From The Honda Classic

The PGA Tour moves to the East Coast this week for the start of the Florida Swing at The Honda Classic. We were on-site earlier this week at PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida and got a chance to work with a number of our full-line Titleist ambassadors on both the practice tee and practice green. Be sure to check out the photo gallery from The Honda Classic.

Zach Back Where it All Started

Zach Johnson tees it up this week at the Honda Classic as he continues to prepare for his upcoming title defense at the Masters, beginning April 10. Zach has fond memories of the Honda Classic, especially the 2004 version which he played during his rookie season on the PGA Tour. His tie for 13th that week was one of two top-15 finishes in the three tournaments he played during the Florida Swing and, in addition to going a long way towards securing his Tour card for the following season, gave him momentum and a sense of comfort that he could succeed on Tour. Johnson won his first tournament, the BellSouth Classic a few weeks later and has never looked back. Check out this Orlando Sentinel article by Jeremy Fowler for the complete article.

From the Northern Trust Open in Los Angeles

We had a chance to head up to Los Angeles this week to work with some of our players during the practice rounds for the Northern Trust Open at historic Riviera Country Club. Titleist ambassador and world number five Adam Scott is making his 2008 PGA Tour debut at Riviera. He’ll be looking to build on the momentum he generated with his win a few weeks ago at the European Tour Commercialbank Qatar Masters using the new Titleist AP2 irons. Titleist ambassadors Davis Love III, Nick Watney, and Troy Matteson also put the new AP2 irons in play for the first time this week. Click here to view photos from Tuesday and Wednesday practice rounds at Riviera.
