Sergio Garcia Wins Thailand Golf Championship with TaylorMade, adidas Golf Gear

Dawie van der Walt Captures Nelson Mandela Championship Title with SLDR Driver, adidas Golf apparel and Footwear

(CARLSBAD, Calif.) – Sergio Garcia capped a big weekend for TaylorMade Golf Company with a convincing 4-stroke victory at the Thailand Championship. Meanwhile in South Africa, fellow TMaG staffer Dawie van der Walt grabbed his second career European Title at the Nelson Mandela Championship.

Playing against a strong field that included Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson, Sergio kept his foot on the gas in the final round to post a 22-under 266. Sergio hit blistering drives off the tee with his SLDR and became the first player to win with the company’s new Tour Preferred MC irons. Throughout the tournament, Garcia wore the adizero Tour, adidas Golf’s top-selling model globally and the lightest tour performance shoe the company has ever created.

The not yet released Tour Preferred MC irons combine a player’s shape with a shallow “muscle cavity” to boost MOI, creating an unparalleled blend of beauty, feel, workability and stability. The 3 through 7-irons incorporate TaylorMade’s renowned Speed Pocket technology to promote increased ball speed in the lower portion of the clubface for more consistent ball speed and launch conditions across the entire face.

Sergio’s most memorable shot with his new iron was an ace at the 198-yard, par-3 eighth hole during Friday’s second round.

In South Africa, Dawie van der Walt carded a four-under 66 to win the rain-shortened Nelson Mandela Championship at Mount Edgecombe Country Club. The victory marked the second European Tour win for van der Walt this year, having previously won the Tshwane Open in March. During the tournament, van der Walt played the SLDR Driver and wore adidas Golf apparel, footwear and accessories.
