Wilson Staff Di7 Super Game Improvement Iron and Wilson Staff Fifty Ball to Debut Later This Month

CHICAGO -- Wilson Golf General Manager Tim Clarke announced the expansion of the US Golf sales force as the Division continues its positive turnaround. Clarke introduced the six new members of the team at its annual sales meeting at the Grand Geneva in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Wilson Golf will formally introduce its newest products for the 2007 season including the Wilson Staff Di7 super game improvement iron and Wilson Staff Fifty golf ball at a launch event later this month.

The new District Sales Managers and their territories include:
• Mr. Rob Hardy (CT, MA, RI, ME, NH, VT)
• Mr. Craig Kalb (GA, AL)
• Mr. James Lloyd (AR, LA, MS, OK)
• Mr. Derek Robinson (CO, UT, WY)
• Mr. Kyle Scoby (CA)
• Mr. Ken Shipbaugh (SD, ND, MN, WI)

“We are very excited to introduce six quality individuals as the newest members of our growing US sales force,” stated Tim Clarke, General Manager Wilson Golf. “This expansion is phase two of the re-organization that started last year, and clearly signals that Wilson Golf is on a positive track in the world’s largest market.”

On the heels of key product launches in 2006, including the award-winning Wilson Staff Ci6 iron, sales in the key United States market are far ahead of projected forecasts, creating the opportunity for expanded sales coverage.

“I’m confident about the prospects for Wilson Golf as we continue to solidify our position in the US market,” continued Clarke. “Our award-winning line of Wilson Staff irons is generating consumer demand, and expectations are extremely high for the upcoming launch of our new Di7 iron. This iron is not like other clubs, and it’s tearing up the competition in head-to-head competitive testing. This expansion of our sales force strategically allows Wilson Golf to drive greater distribution when we expect to need it.”
