TITLEIST STREAKS TO 5 FOR 5 START
ON 1999 US PGA TOUR

Returning to Titleist Wound Ball Technology,
Payne Stewart Returns to Winner's Circle

Returning to the advanced liquid-filled centre wound ball technology of Titleist, Payne Stewart also returned to the winner's circle at last week's AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. Stewart's victory highlights another momentous week on the 1999 PGA Tour for Titleist, marking its fifth victory in as many events. Stewart's win follows victories by Rocco Mediate (Phoenix Open), David Duval (Bob Hope), Jeff Sluman (Sony Open) and Duval again (Mercedes Championships).

Stewart earned the first eight victories of his career, including the 1991 US Open, trusting his game to Titleist liquid-filled centre wound ball technology. After playing a competitor's golf ball for the past five years, Stewart switched back to the superior performance and quality of Titleist at the start of the 1999 season. In his first three events playing the Titleist Professional, Stewart has posted three top 20 finishes, including this week's win at Pebble Beach - the 10th of his career.

Victories on the PGA European, Senior PGA Tour, Nike and South African tours, all with the Titleist Professional, increases the Titleist year-to-date victory total to 18, compared to 1 for the nearest competitors.
