TOUR CONCEPT® CLAIMS FIRST CHAMPIONS TOUR TITLE OF 2006
Dynamic Gold on Top at Bob Hope Chrysler Classic

Memphis , TN …Records fell in Hawaii as True Temper’s revolutionary Tour Concept ® iron shaft continued its winning ways with a victory at the Champions Tour season-opening MasterCard Championship at Hualalai. Beginning the day three strokes back of the leader, the Champion scorched the final eighteen holes with a course-record 61. Finishing the week at 25-under par, he shattered the Champions Tour scoring record of lowest 54-hole total in relation to par while also breaking the Tour record for birdies in a three-round tournament with 26. An eight-time winner on the PGA ® Tour, this marked his second victory in only seven career starts on the Champions Tour.

Tour Concept’s variable tip, constant weight design produces long irons that get in the air easily, mid irons that offer a moderate, piercing trajectory and short irons that feature a flat, controlled ball flight for optimal accuracy. The Tour Concept iron shaft is currently available through True Temper’s Tour Concept Authorized Retailers.
