Thank you to this week's sponsor, Fujikura. All 4 men’s Majors in 2025 and the first men’s major of 2026 were won with a Fujikura VENTUS shaft in their driver - which is the first time ANY company has done this. The new TR Red, Black & Blue shafts are now fully launched on tour to complete the VENTUS TR Collection. The three shafts have different profiles to suit your needs. Red offers mid to high launch & mid to low spin, Blue offers mid launch & low spin and Black offers low spin & low launch. The VENTUS TR collection has been upgraded with VeloCore+ technology for increased control of the club through your swing and reorientation of spread tow material in the mid-handle section which allows the shaft to keep up with golfers that have a more aggressive swing transition. Now, there are even more options to get the perfect fit with the tour-trusted VENTUS shafts.
