Wilson Staff sign up Webster
Published: Last updated:
Two-time European Tour winner Steve Webster has signed a contract with Wilson Staff to play their clubs in the 2011 season.
The Englishman has been using Wilson’s FG Tour irons since the summer without a contract but he has now put pen to paper after being wowed by their performance.
Three-time Major winner Padraig Harrington also uses the FG Tour irons, which are designed to offer Tour-level performance with a bit of forgiveness built in.
The irons also won the best on test award in TG’s 2010 irons test.
Webster, who beat Tiger Woods to the Silver Medal for top amateur in the 1995 Open Championship, said: “The distance control on the irons is amazingly consistent and I have lots of feel off the clubface for shot making.”
As well as playing with the full set of FG Tour irons (3-PW), Webster will have the Wilson Staff badge imprinted on his cap. His wins on the European Tour came at the Italia Open in 2005 and the inaugural Portugal Masters in 2007. He achieved nine top 20 finishes in 2008 and three runners-up spots in 2009. He also played on the winning teams in the Seve Trophy of 2002 and the 2009 Vivendi Trophy.
“We are delighted to have another top quality Tour player committing to Wilson Staff irons,” said Doug Wright, Business Director for Europe at Wilson Golf. “Steve has seen the performance benefits of the FG Tour irons for himself and we now hope they will help him to rise up the rankings in 2011.”
Other Wilson Staff players include Harrington, American Ricky Barnes, former Open Champion Paul Lawrie and Englishman Anthony Wall.
