Adams Golf (OTCBB:ADGO) has expanded its tour staff with the
addition of Aaron Baddeley, a two-time PGA TOUR champion and
18th-ranked player in the world. Baddeley is coming off his best
season as a tour pro with one victory, seven Top 10s and a
sixth-place finish in the FedEx Cup standings. As part of his
contract, �Badds� as he is commonly known, will wear the Adams Golf
hat, carry the tour staff bag and is expected to start the year
playing the company�s line of Insight fairway woods. He will be
working with Adams Golf to determine the best driver, hybrids, and
irons to maximize his game. �We�re proud to have Aaron join our
growing PGA TOUR team,� said Chip Brewer, Adams Golf president and
CEO. �Aaron is a wonderful player and a class individual who has
the potential to be the marquee player for Adams Golf on the PGA
TOUR. We look forward to a long-term relationship in which we will
develop product to give one of the great young stars in
professional golf a competitive edge. Having Aaron on our staff
builds on the successes we�ve had over the years on the Champions
Tour as well as our recent success in hybrid clubs on tour. We�re
confident Aaron will be an excellent brand ambassador for us.�
Since turning pro in 2000, Badds has won over $7.6 million in prize
money. Last season, he finished 10th on the Money List having won
over $3.4 million. He earned the second PGA TOUR victory of his
career at the FBR Open in February where he closed with
back-to-back, 7-under-par 64s to win by one stroke. His
breakthrough win on tour came in 2006 at the Verizon Heritage
Classic when he rallied to win with a six-foot putt on 18. Most
recently, Badds added to his International resume by claiming his
first Australian Masters championship in November. This was his
fourth international victory, which includes two Australian Open
titles. �After careful consideration, I have become impressed with
the Adams Golf people and brand. I also believe that their
highly-acclaimed R&D team is best-equipped to work directly
with me to provide the right equipment for my game,� said Badds.
�I�m excited about this new partnership and I hope this will turn
into a long-term relationship for us both. I�m entering a very
exciting phase in my career and both hope and believe the same can
be said about Adams Golf.� At 26-years-old, Badds becomes one of
the exciting new and young faces of a renowned tour staff of pros
with the likes of Tom Watson, Bernhard Langer, Tommy �Two Gloves�
Gainey, Brad Bryant and Brittany Lincicome. Aaron is a devout
Christian and often leads bible study groups on tour. A resident of
Scottsdale, Ariz., Aaron has been married to his wife, Richelle,
for more than two years.
