KBS Shafts win PGA Tour event, finish 2nd and 3rd on Nationwide Tour

BOULDER, Colo. -- KBS TOUR Wedge shafts were used in yet another victory yesterday on the PGA TOUR. In what was exciting weekend, KBS had multiple top ten finishes including two T3 finishes on the PGA TOUR, and 2nd and 3rd place finishes on the Nationwide Tour. These professionals trusted the Tour and C-Taper shafts from the brand's signature KBS TOUR Series line. First introduced in 2008, the KBS brand continues to surge as the fastest-growing steel shaft on Tour evidenced by 100+ players across the PGA, EU, and Nationwide Tours trusting their products along with 10 of the top 50 players in the World Rankings.

At the PGA TOUR's FedEx St. Jude Classic, KBS TOUR® WEDGE X (130g) shafts were used by the top finisher highlighting 22 total players at the event trusting shafts from the KBS TOUR Series. This professional has been using KBS shafts in his wedges for the past two seasons.

On the Nationwide Tour, KBS TOUR® X (130g) and C-TAPER® S+ (125g) shafts were trusted by the 2nd place and 3rd place finishers. This season has seen rapid growth on the Nationwide Tour with 50 total professionals now trusting KBS shafts, and 6 of the Top 25 Money List players also in KBS.

According to Director of Tour Operations, Kim Braly, "The player growth we're seeing on Tour this year is simply phenomenal. On the PGA TOUR, we continue to attract more of the game's best and most visible players. And, with the addition of KBS Representative Jason Hause on the Nationwide Tour, we're finally working with players on the game's top proving ground. Our rapid success across every tour this year speaks directly to the product's performance and I personally couldn't be more excited."
