I’ve said it for the last several years. Wilson Golf is one of two golf manufacturers that have been the biggest “movers and shakers” in the golf industry. Irons and wedges second to nobody and a new driver that just might see them on a more level field as “the others”.
More indications of this is evident as Wilson Golf signed the 3x PGA Tour winner to their Advisory Staff. Woodland who is in the field this week at the Sentry Tournament of Champions in Hawaii. Being put into play this week on the Plantation Course at Kapalua are a V4 Utility Iron and prototype Staff Model blades. Woodland is also in the process of testing the Driver vs Driver 2 winner the Cortex.
For more details please see the press release below. Thanks go to Lindsey Lasater (Marketing/PR Manager Wilson Golf) and Zac Herndon (The Brand Amp) for sharing the release.

Woodland scored his third PGA Tour title last February during the Waste Management Phoenix Open and continued to lead the field throughout the season with three top 10 finishes to close out 2018. Woodland will debut the new prototype Staff Model blades in addition to the V4 utility iron at The Sentry Tournament of Champions. In addition to the clubs, he is also in the process of testing the new Wilson Staff Cortex, winner of Driver vs. Driver 2.
Wilson Golf President Tim Clarke elaborated, “As the Wilson brand continues to gain momentum in the golf space, we are thrilled to have a player of Gary’s stature join the team. We want players that are athletes at heart and who want to be involved in the brand both on and off the course. We think Gary is a perfect fit for the culture of innovation and excellence we’re building at Wilson.”
