Ping’s latest driving/utility iron, the iDi, takes aim at delivering specific ball flights for each loft – more of a driving-iron trajectory on the 2-iron while the 4-iron launches higher with more spin.
The iron play was strong all week for Hovland, as he finished seventh in greens in regulation and sixth in strokes gained/approach the green with his Ping i210 irons.
The Ping G440 fairway woods and hybrids both utilise a new internal hosel structure that frees room for the face to deflect while saving mass that can be used to lower the centre of gravity for easier, more spin-efficient launch.
The Ping G440 driver line-up (G440 Max, G440 SFT, G440 LST) mixes something different with its traditional focus on forgiveness for a slightly new approach to more distance.
You wouldn’t think the 6,814-metre El Cardonal at Diamante course would yield to anything but a bomber, but Austin Eckroat navigated it skilfully – if without overpowering length – to capture the World Wide Technology Championship for his second win of 2024.

When you rank first in strokes gained/approach, strokes gained/tee to green and first in greens in regulation, third in driving accuracy, have the fewest bogeys and are T-1 in birdies, it doesn’t take a maths major to understand you have a good chance to win.
Ping’s G430 family of fairway woods and hybrids share the weight-saving technology of carbon composite on the crown with the speed benefits of a face structure that wraps around the sole and crown for better overall flexing.
When Ping commemorated the 55th anniversary of the patent for its legendary Anser putter with limited-edition milled versions in aluminium bronze, stainless steel and copper at three different drops earlier this year, the average time it took for any of those runs to sell out was approximately 180 seconds.
