PXG sign Austin Ernst
To their roster of champions
Words: John Dean
PXG is adding LPGA Tour professional Austin Ernst to its roster of champions.
“PXG has made a huge impact on the LPGA Tour in the last year and I am ecstatic to now be an official member of the PXG Troops,” Ernst said. “I’ve been making moves up the leaderboard this season, and I feel more confident than ever that I will reach the top with PXG clubs in my bag.”
Earnst has had PXG irons in play since mid–2016 – long before being offered an equipment deal. She has recorded three top ten finishes this season, including a second–place finish at the Kia Classic.
Since entering the market two years ago, PXG, founded by American entrepreneur and golf fanatic Bob Parsons, has incited a step change in the golf industry. Parsons has channeled his passion for golf into a project that bears little relation to the established big beasts of the equipment market. And golfers, from weekend warriors to tour professionals, have been taking note.
Parsons said: “We’re in a different business than the other manufactures. When it comes to product development, it doesn’t matter how much we spend. It doesn’t matter how long it takes or how many iterations. What matters is quality and performance.”
“When exceptional players like Austin hit our clubs and say ‘wow’, we know we have landed on something special,” Parsons added. “Austin has already found success on tour using our equipment and I’m proud to count her among our already stellar lineup of professionals.”
Ernst will join current #PXGTroops James Hahn, Billy Horschel, Charles Howell III, Zach Johnson, Chris Kirk, Ryan Moore, Pat Perez, Charl Schwartzel, Christina Kim, Lydia Ko, Brittany Lang, Alison Lee, Ryann O’Toole, Sadena Parks, Gerina Piller and Beatriz Recari.
Ernst’s first tournament as an official member of the #PXGTroops will be at Kingsmill Championship.
