The Premier League Of Winning Drivers On Tour. TaylorMade R1 Vs Titleist 913

We’re rapidly approaching the end of May with one Major and the Player’s Championship under our belts so we thought it would be a good time so see just which drivers are the most successful on Tour.

Whether or not driver is the key club in the bag will still be debated long after we are gone, but one thing is for sure, ask almost any player what club they love smashing most, what club they invest in and change most often and they will say driver.

We’ve looked at the PGA and European Tours combined to find the winning most manufacturers and their drivers.

taylormade-r1-xlAhead of all the rest at this point in the season is TaylorMade, who so far have notched up 12 wins, all by different players. The R1 accounts for six victories, three of those on the European Tour (Jacquelin, Van der Walt, Gallacher) and three on the PGA Tour (Gay, D. Johnson, Weekley). The RBZ in original and stage 2 versions account for two wins, the Superfast original and 2.0 another two and the R11 and R11s a further two. In short TaylorMade ruled the early season.

Second in the standings is Nike with eight wins from five different players. Tiger Woods with his VR Tour of course accounted for four of these which skews the figures a little, but the VR Pro (Brown, Schwartzel), the VR_S (Henley) and the VR_S Covert (Jamieson) have also all tasted victory.

titleist913Just edging third place after Matteo won in Wentworth is Titleist. That brings Titleist’s season haul to seven with five different players (Manassero, Uhlein, Rumford 2, Scott, Aphibarnrat and Merrick) all lifting trophies. Significantly though, Adam Scott claimed the first Major of the year, the Masters, for Titleist. And arguably more significant is that all seven wins have come using the Titleist 913 driver, that’s one win more than TaylorMade’s R1.

In fourth place among the manufacturers is Ping with five wins by five different players. The, built for the pros, i20 was in the young hands of Ernst and Thompson, while the Anser (Oosthuizen), G20 (Streelman), and G25 (Horschel) accounted for the rest.

Cleveland and Callaway more or less share fifth on three wins a piece, thanks to GMac’s latest win at the World Matchplay. That, combined with his RBC Heritage win and Thomas Aiken’s victory in India with the Classic driver, will make Cleveland very happy. Callaway on the other hand, will be left scratching their heads with only one apiece for the RAZR fit Xtreme (Mickelson), RAZR fit (Bae) and the X Hot Pro (Fichardt).

Bridgestone and Mizuno make up the numbers with one win each for the J40 (Kuchar) and MP650 (Wood)

Two Naked Pics Of Holly Sonders. The Big News To Emerge From The 2013 PGA Show

Image
The media centre at the 2013 PGA Show was buzzing yesterday.  Not because of anything that happened at the show.  God forbid! When I rocked in, several men (and one woman) were gathered around an iphone ogling and sharing  two pics of who they claimed were Holly Sonders naked. Now I have to hold my hands up and say, I had to google her to find out she’s from The Golf Channel. I don’t watch the Golf Channel because I don’t have an erectile dysfunction problem or need to rent a car from National.  I’m told adverts for both are all that’s on that channel. How they knew for certain it was her, I dont know.  Unless the cheeks of her ass were on her passport photo and they recognized them from there, but I doubt it. The First Pic The first pic is taken from behind. No pun intended.  The media guys say it was taken by her fiancee (?) and shows Holly in a white thong which has disappeared a dangerously long ways into the bummage.  I’m talking t...

Sarah Stirk Nipple Gate: Navy Top Leaves Viewers Disappointed

Image
London: Sky Sports management this morning issued a statement  apologizing to subscribers after Sarah Stirk wore a navy dress live on air.  It is believed up to 60,000 horny golfers were left limp after they tuned in to final round coverage of the Valero Texas Open in the hope of getting a glimpse of the legendary Stirk starter buttons. “I pay my subscription, I’m bloody well entitled to see Sarah’s Wimbledon strawberries” said factory worker Paul Manning 52 from Hereford. “I even missed the ten minute freeview, coz my mate Derek tweeted that Stirk was going into the shot centre for ten minutes at 11pm”. The Sky statement read: We apologize unreservedly for the navy dress Sarah wore during last nights broadcast, through which no nipples were visible. This was due to a wardrobe malfunction. However we do intend to rectify this during our US Masters coverage and assure viewers that plenty of bridge rivets will be on show, both from Sarah and special guest Colin M...
