CHICAGO, January 3, 2019 –Wilson Golf announced today that Gary Woodland has signed a multi-year deal to join its Advisory Staff. The addition of Woodland, who is currently ranked in the top 40 worldwide, brings his considerable experience and genuine passion for the game to the Wilson Advisory Staff.
Woodland scored his third PGA Tour title last February during the Waste Management Phoenix Open and continued to lead the field throughout the season with three top 10 finishes to close out 2018. Woodland will debut the new prototype Staff Model blades in addition to the V4 utility iron at The Sentry Tournament of Champions. In addition to the clubs, he is also in the process of testing the new Wilson Staff Cortex, winner of Driver vs. Driver 2.
Wilson Golf President Tim Clarke elaborated, “As the Wilson brand continues to gain momentum in the golf space, we are thrilled to have a player of Gary’s stature join the team. We want players that are athletes at heart and who want to be involved in the brand both on and off the course. We think Gary is a perfect fit for the culture of innovation and excellence we’re building at Wilson.”
And the feeling appears to be mutual, with Woodward himself adding, “I’m extremely excited to be joining Wilson after working with them extensively the last few months. Their premium line of clubs and high-quality equipment will be integral as I continue to elevate my game.”
