Thai golf star Kiradech Aphibarnrat finished runner-up at the Porsche Singapore Classic. All round, the Singapore Classic was a good tournament for Callaway ambassadors with Sam Bairstow (68) in solo third place at 16 under, although only a shot outside the playoff with Aphibarnrat.
Australian Callaway star, David Micheluzzi, who earned his DP World Tour card via winning the Australasian tour’s order of merit last year, shared seventh place.
In addition, Xander Schauffele performed well at the Players Championship, finishing runner-up and also at the Valspar Championship, he came seventh. Schauffele is in form heading into the upcoming Masters this April.
Schauffele is using our Chrome Tour X golf ball and he was one of 20 players at the event who were using Chrome Tour or Chrome Tour X golf ball.

Min Woo Lee notched up his career-best result on the PGA Tour at the Cognizant Classic at PGA National in Florida. He finished tied 2nd with fellow Callaway staffer Erik van Rooyen in what was a hard tournament due to weather delays.
“I’m really proud of the way I handled myself this week.
“It was hectic but also I needed to just keep my head in the game. I don’t really have that many Monday finishes. It was pretty tough to regroup and lock in. Last night I was just on my phone for a couple hours just like, ‘What am I doing? I need to get sleep.’ It felt like it was the end of the tournament, but we had another 12 hours of golf to play.”
Min Woo Lee’s stunning back-nine eagle set up a charge towards his career-best result on the PGA Tour as he and fellow Callaway staffer Erik van Rooyen shared second place at the Cognizant Classic at PGA National in Florida.
Minjee Lee joined Callaway on February 5th and achieved her best result using Callaway at the Blue Bay LPGA Tour event in China while topping the results of staffers on major tours across the world.
Using her Paradym Ai-Smoke Triple Diamond Driver (10.5), Lee averaged 275 yards per drive on the final day, finding nine of 14 fairways. But it was on the greens where Lee stood out. Using the Odyssey Ai-One Milled Two T Putter, Lee needed just 25 putts on Sunday to record her first top 10 of the year.
Since joining Callaway, Lee has played two LPGA Tour events, a T29 at the HSBC Women’s World Championship and the T4 at the Blue Bay event.
“I actually touched on everything this off-season, especially with changes to my equipment to Callaway,” she said. “Everything has been a little bit of a process of getting used to it. It’s going to take me a couple of events to knock the rust off and break those clubs in.”
Lee has 14 Callaway clubs in the bag, including an Odyssey Putter, plus a Callaway golf ball, bag, and glove. She now joins her brother Min Woo on our team, and she’ll look to add even more LPGA wins and majors soon.
“I’m thrilled to be joining the Callaway Staff, and I’m excited to see how their equipment will help my performance going forward,” Lee said. “They’re the most played club brand on the LPGA, so I’ve seen how good the product is, and how much it’s helped my brother take his game to the next level. Now that I’ve had a chance to try their new driver and the Chrome Tour Ball, I feel confident in my setup, and I know that this is the right decision for me.” Her current bag features a Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond Driver, an Odyssey Putter, and a new Chrome Tour X Ball.
