GolfSpy Barbajo Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 HARRINGTON SIGNS NEW LANDMARK DEAL WITH WILSON GOLF 20 years playing their clubs Words: James Greenwood Photography: Getty Images Padraig Harrington has signed a new multi-year deal with Wilson Golf that will see him reach a milestone of 20 consecutive seasons playing Wilson Staff clubs on Tours around the world. The new agreement follows impressive recent form for the three-time Major champion, culminating in his first European Tour victory in eight years at the recent Portugal Masters, where he won playing with the new FG Tour V6 irons that he put into his bag for the first time that week. “My association with Wilson Golf is currently one of the longest in the sport and I'm proud to be renewing our agreement for more years to come,†said the Irishman. “The new V6 irons are exceptional and I'd encourage all amateur players to try out the latest Wilson Staff clubs, as they can help golfers of all abilities to improve their games.†Padraig first signed to play Wilson Staff clubs in 1998 and went on to help the brand achieve more Major victories with its irons than any other (61), with back-to-back Open Championships in 2007 and 2008 and another victory at the US PGA Championship in 2008. In recent years, he secured the 2010 Johor Open, finished fourth at the 2012 US Open, won the prestigious PGA Grand Slam of Golf title against three other Major champions later that year and in 2014 was victorious at the Indonesian Open. In 2015, he won on the PGA Tour for the first time in seven years with victory at the Honda Classic and earlier this year represented Ireland at the Olympic Games in Rio, before acting as a Vice Captain of the European Team in the Ryder Cup matches at Hazeltine. “We are thrilled to have Padraig sign a new agreement for him to keep playing Wilson Staff clubs and continue to represent our brand around the world with such passion,†said Tim Clark, President of Wilson Golf. “He's a valued member of our Wilson Advisory Staff and contributes a great deal to the development of clubs across the range.†What's in the bag: Driver: TSR3; DynaPWR Carbon FW Wood: DynaPWR 3-wood; TSR 2+ Hybrids: PXG Gen4 18-degree Utility Irons: ZX MkII 20* Irons:; 699/699 Pro V2 Combo; D9 Forged; MT86 (coming soon!); VIP 1025 V-Foil MB/CB; Wedges: RTX6 Zipcore Putter: HB Soft Milled 10.5; Newport Special Select; Willamette, BB8; 8802; MATI Monto Ball: Tour B RXS; Z-STAR Diamond; Triad Stat Tracker/GPS Watch: Follow @golfspybarbajo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GolfSpy Barbajo Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 This is Wilson's Tour Strategy - they have a core group of guys and they remain very loyal to each other, through thick or thin. The other common factor is that they're all pretty good guys - have met Steele, Barnes and Streelman and they are all first rate gentlemen. Think any of these guys can be in the hunt for Wilson's Major #62?

Kenny B Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Congratulations to the Harrington and Wilson Staff. I have seen more Wilson Staff hats in tournaments this past year, so they must be doing something right. “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPY VIP The Dansome Posted December 12, 2016 SPY VIP Share Posted December 12, 2016 I didn't realize they had money left after the Driver vs Driver marketing campaign, but obviously those are flying off shelves with no problems raking in big dollars.

null Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 My favorite part of Driver vs Drivers was when Harrington was hitting balls with the different drivers and they zoomed in on the ball. Oops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops. IMG_20161109_154533.jpg But that's his gamer. Why wouldn't he test with that ball? I don't think the Duo-U or the FG tour is gamed by anyone on any major tour.

Rtracymog Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Good for Paddy and Wilson. Those major wins helped turn the brand around and it's nice to see players stay loyal. Obviously he believes the gear works or he would sign with someone else. He seems like a genuinely good guy and I hope he stays with them for the rest of his career.
