Callaway Golf Company (NYSE:ELY) today announced that it has extended
its relationship with Phil Mickelson. Mickelson, currently the No. 2
player in the world, will play a full complement of Callaway Golf
equipment. Terms of the agreement are not being disclosed.
"Phil has been an integral member of the Callaway Golf family for
several years and together we’ve achieved great success,” said George
Fellows, President and CEO, Callaway Golf. "He’s clearly one of the most
talented golfers ever to play the game and we’re proud to have our
equipment in his hands as he continues towards the World Golf Hall of
Fame.”
Mickelson, 38, enters Augusta with serious momentum. With victories in
two recent events, he took firm control of the No. 2 world ranking and
comes to Magnolia Lane as a clear favorite. He’s looking for his third
Green Jacket after victories in 2004 and 2006, and his fourth major
championship overall.
"I can’t imagine playing this game without Callaway management’s support
behind me and Callaway’s equipment in my bag,” said Phil Mickelson.
"Both have contributed to my success and I’m planning on their support
throughout the rest of my professional career.”
Mickelson currently plays the Callaway FT-9 Driver, Big Bertha Diablo
Fairway Woods, Tour Authentic X-Prototype Irons and X-Forged Irons, an
Odyssey White Hot XG #9 Putter and Tour i Series golf balls.
