Tiger And Titleist Win Again


Tiger Woods created a major slice of history when he won the 82nd USPGA Championship at Valhalla and in the process he made it another great day for
Titleist because the champion won his fifth Major title with 14 of their clubs in his bag.

Woods has made a habit of setting new standards and in the steaming heat at Valhalla he achieved a few more with a sensational extra time victory over
the brave Bob May. It was a victory that made Woods the first golfer since Ben Hogan in 1953 to win three of the world's four Major titles in one calendar year. The 18 under par aggregate that got him into the play-off total at the end of the regulation 72 holes also created a new record for the USPGA Championship and just for good measure Woods also became the first man to successfully defend the title since the USPGA changed from a stroke play to a match play format in 1958.

He now heads into next year's Masters at Augusta National with a realistic
chance of becoming the first man in history to hold all four Major titles at
the same time and it is not something you would bet against after a
performance at Valhalla that did not quite reach the heights of his triumphs
at the US Open at Pebble Beach or The Open at St Andrews but was still just
enough to defy a marvellous challenge from May.

Woods is currently dominating the game like no other golfer since Jack
Nicklaus and he is doing so with the help of a bag full of Titleist clubs.
Just as he did at both Pebble Beach and St Andrews, the irrepressible Woods,
tested to the limits by May, achieved his USPGA success using a Titleist
Titanium 975D driver, a Titleist Pro Trajectory fairway metal, Titleist
forged prototype irons, Vokey design sand and lob wedges and a Scotty
Cameron Pro Platinum putter.
