After a player wins a PGA Tour event, golf equipment companies routinely see a surge in interest in the gear that the golfer used. The effect is magnified after major championships because the whole world is watching, so in 1988, when all four men’s major championships were won by players using a Ping putter, the Phoenix, Arizona-based company had plenty of reason to thump its chest … and ramp up production of its putters.
To celebrate the 35th anniversary of that accomplishment, which has not been equaled, Ping is set to release the first of four extremely-limited PLD putters in the Ping Slam collection.
