Tour Edge Announces 2018 Exotics CBX Hybrid Staff with Big Names from PGA Tour Champions Tour Edge Golf, Golf’s Most Solid Investment and the makers of the fastest growing metalwoods on the pro tours with its Exotics CBX family of clubs, officially announced today the formation of its 2018 staff of PGA Tour Champions athletes playing their Exotics CBX hybrids.

The company announced on Thursday that eight players have been added to the Tour Edge professional staff to play their hybrids this season: Bart Bryant, Scott Dunlap, Fred Funk, Tom Lehman, Scott McCarron, Rocco Mediate, Tim Petrovic and Duffy Waldorf.

“What a staff of legends of golf that we have been able to put together to start off our long term commitment to servicing the PGA Tour Champions!” said Tour Edge founder and President David Glod. “The best part about signing these big name golfers to our staff is that each of these players had already chosen to play the Exotics CBX due to their own personal performance needs.”

Exotics CBX are now the fastest rising clubs on the PGA Tour Champions. Twenty-five different Champions players have put Exotics CBX into play in just a dozen events while over 75 different Exotics CBX metalwoods have been recorded in play by the Darrell Survey over the first seven events of the 2018 season.

After seven events on the 2018 PGA Tour Champions season, Exotics CBX metalwoods have been in play for one win, three runner-up finishes, seven Top 5 and 15 Top 10 finishes.

“This is a great way for Tour Edge and our Exotics line to be able to get the word out there that we make the very best fairway woods, hybrids and iron-woods in the game and that the Exotics CBX is especially worthy of attention of the best players in the world,” said Glod. “The fairway woods and hybrids are the first ever to combine a Titanium face combo brazed onto a steel body with a carbon fiber sole. They are long, spin-killing machines with a clean look and a top-notch feel and sound.”
