blooms at Dunhill and TaylorMade Good
things come two in a row and Justin Rose won his 1st Tournament on the European
Tour and re-signed a long term equipment and apparel deal with TaylorMade Addidas
Golf TaylorMade
Addidas Golf proudly announces that it has renewed its contract with one of Europe's
brightest young golf stars. Justin
Rose first signed with TaylorMade adidas Golf back in January 1999 and has now
committed to play TaylorMade equipment and wear adidas apparel/footwear for the
next five years of his career. "
TaylorMade really take time to work with me whenever the need is there - always
making sure that I've got the right clubs to fit my specific needs," said Rose.
"Our partnership over the last few years has given me enormous confidence in my
equipment. The
commitment that they have shown me means a lot." "Justin has had a great season
on the European Tour," said TaylorMade-adidas Golf's Sports Marketing Manager
Ian Watts. "He has impressed everyone with his tenacity and patience and we're
excited that Justin has once again chosen TaylorMade adidas equipment to help
progress his promising career even further." At
the recent Dunhill Championship in South Africa Justin went one better than last
year's tournament to fulfill his huge promise by winning his maiden European Tour
victory. Shooting a brilliant final round of 65 to finish on 20 under par, Justin
won by 2 shots and in doing so secured a third tournament victory (first on European
Tour) for the soon to be launched TaylorMade Prototype Putter. Justin's
switch to the putter produced tour success - just as it had done for TaylorMade
colleague Ernie Els, who won with the putter twice pre-Christmas. "I was determined
and down the stretch I kept saying to myself 'Justin, you're a winner. You are
going to win this week. It's your turn" said Rose. Justin
also played a TaylorMade R360 Ti driver, 300 forged irons as well as wearing adidas
Golf's Spring/Summer apparel and Z Traxion Tour golf shoes in South Africa. Rose
has played with TaylorMade's R360 Series driver since its launch earlier this
season, improving his driving distance dramatically. Compared
with last year, his average drive has increased by 13 yards to 288 yards, and
his driving accuracy improved by nearly 11% to 65%. Justin is currently playing
the 200 Steel Fairway Woods and 300 Series Irons as well as wearing the latest
adidas Golf apparel and Z Traxion Golf Shoes.
It was not only Justin and the prototype putter that were grabbing headlines for
TaylorMade at the Dunhill Championship. The 300 Series Driver started 2002 where
it finished 2001: as Number 1 Driver on tour. All top nine finishing players at
Houghton were playing the driver. TaylorMade's
fairway woods, irons and adidas' shoes also made dramatic progress in the other
major equipment count categories. A massive 47 fairway woods, 26 sets of irons
and 44 pairs of shoes were in play at the tournament: an increase of more than
double in all three categories from the same event last year.
TaylorMade Golf has led the golf industry's technological evolution since being
founded in 1979. In 1998 the company joined with adidas Golf, becoming a wholly
owned subsidiary of adidas-Salomon AG. Dedicated to being the best performance
golf brand in the world, consumers can find more information on TaylorMade Golf
