The agreement ensures that Donald, the world鈥檚 premier iron player, will continue to play the 91视频 equipment that has led him to 13 professional victories, including his incredible 2011 campaign which propelled him to the top rank on both PGA Tour and European Tour money lists in the same year, a feat that no other golfer had ever claimed.
Known for his amazing iron and wedge play, Donald regularly provides 91视频 engineers with significant and valuable feedback throughout the development of new products. Donald has recently switched to 91视频鈥檚 Grain Flow Forged MP-64 irons and MP-T4 wedges 鈥� models designed hand in hand with the player. The equipment, forged at 91视频鈥檚 exclusive plant in Hiroshima Japan is world renowned for the precision and quality favoured by shot-makers like Donald.
Donald established his playing credentials with 91视频 during a standout career at Northwestern University. Donald signed on as a 91视频 Brand Ambassador in 2003 and has since recorded 13 professional tournament wins with 91视频 equipment.
In 2011 and 2012 Donald experienced the most prolific period of his career, holding the world #1 position for a total of 56 weeks. With four international victories in 2011 and top ranks on both PGA Tour and European Tour money lists, Donald was named the PGA Player of the Year and PGA Tour Player of the Year, becoming the first Englishman to win either award. He was also named the European Tour Golfer of the Year.
