THE MAIN EVENT
A pArAde of products on displAy At the pGA show
THE FIRST MAJOR OF THE GOLF SEASON took place recently –
and I'm not talking about the Masters. In the golf industry, the first
big event of the year isn't in April, it's in January. That's
when nearly 40,000 golf industry professionals from all
over the world come together for the annual PGA
Merchandise Show, an extravaganza highlighting all
the new gear golfers will see in the year ahead.
This year's show, held January 22-24 in Florida,
was marked by significant industry announcements
as well as exciting product introductions.
Of course the biggest news is always centered
around the most sizable club in your bag – the driver. And
this year's assortment did not disappoint.
Callaway Golf's new Epic Flash, PING's G410 series, and Taylor-
Made's M5 and M6 drivers were introduced at the Show and are
among the many newly released clubs featured in this issue.
New golf balls also generated a lot of buzz at this year's Show.
Titleist's new Pro V1 and Pro V1x, Callaway's ERC, and Taylor-
Made's TP5 and TP5x are all loaded with state-of-art technology and
are flying longer and rolling truer than ever before.
I'm looking forward to an exciting year of golf, and with the first
major out of the way, I have my eyes set on the next one coming up
in a couple of months at Augusta National.
