Thompson won the old-school way with bag full of old and new Ping clubs, including a putter that he picked up at a municipal course when he was 16 nearly two decades ago.
The set includes driver, fairway woods, hybrids and irons, and the entire group reflects the commitment to distance through a different understanding of how women players create swing speed and ball speed and how clubs can be manufactured to better line up with the speeds these golfers create.
The Rocket Mortgage Classic is a new event on the PGA Tour schedule, so it’s fitting that Ping is introducing a new club to its tour staff this week, the Glide 3.0 wedge.
