Press Release

Posted 2004-09-27

Albany, GA – The winner of the 2004 Valero Texas Open relied on MacGregor's new V-FOIL M6.4 GT putter to claim his first PGA Tour victory last weekend. The victory marks the first for the recently released V-FOIL GT putter designed by Bobby Grace and 10th victory worldwide in the past year for MacGregor V-FOIL putters.

In the same PGA event, MacGregor's M1 and V-FOIL M7.5K putters finished second and T10, respectively. MacGregor putters won over $1 million in prize money with the three top 10 finishes at the Valero Texas Open and over $17 million worldwide in the past twelve months.

"The Tour acceptance of our V-FOIL putters designed by Bobby is very exciting," commented Barry Schneider, owner and CEO of MacGregor Golf. "Our putters are helping the best players in the world compete at the highest level and win. And the cool thing is that we don't pay PGA professionals to play our putters on tour; the winner's check is what they want."

Available at leading golf retailers and pro shops in early October, the new V-FOIL GT putters offer golfers exceptionally high MOI plus enhanced visual alignment technology. The GT putters combine patented MacGregor V-FOIL technology with a high MOI design for reduced twisting and straighter putts. The advanced alignment properties of the V-FOIL GT putters ensure a perfect setup every time. Visit www.macgregorgolf.com to learn more.
