Volvik Inc. Korea, famous for their array of coloured golf balls on tour, have announced they will partner with the Australian Open for the next three years beginning with the 2018 championship.
Australian Golf Digest TV's Jason King put Volvik's coloured collection to the test to see if they are the real deal or just a novelty. Check out his verdict!
When reports surfaced in mid-December that Bubba Watson would use a Volvik golf ball in 2017, a spokesman for the company said, “I can’t confirm or comment at this point.” Watson, however, erased any doubt in Hawaii as he readied for this week’s SBS Tournament of Champions, saying he signed a contract with Volvik on New Year’s Day to play the company’s ball.
Bubba Watson is known for his booming tee shots and curving approaches, but on the 72nd hole of the Travelers Championship it was a deft touch with his lob wedge that proved the difference.
After finishing the 2016-'17 season ranked 20th in driving distance at 305.8 yards – nearly five yards shorter than the previous year – Watson changed his ball and driver, switching to a Titleist Pro V1x ball and Ping’s G400 LST driver.
As we head into what will surely be another exciting 2018 season on the US PGA Tour, look for these players to be holding the trophy on Sunday afternoon.
China's Shanshan Feng won the Toto Japan Classic for the second year in a row, marking the first time in the 2017 season that an LPGA player has defended a title.
