COVINGTON, GA – Tiger Woods authored another page in the annals of golf history this weekend, as he used his Bridgestone TOUR B XS ball to earn his 82nd PGA TOUR victory, tying him with Sam Snead for the most all-time, at the TOUR’s first ever official event to be contested in Japan. Remarkably, Woods’ win at


the ZOZO


CHAMPIONSHIP means he’s achieved his 82 wins in 66 fewer starts than it took Snead. Woods’ first win of the new season also gives Bridgestone its first of the 2019-20 wraparound schedule - as the most efficient TOUR Team in golf looks to continue the momentum that it achieved last season. Woods overcame a start


bogey-bogey the


to tournament, recording


bogey- open an


astonishing 19-under par final score, winning by three shots with the


Bridgestone TOUR B XS. Woods made 27 birdies for the


tournament fields and incredible competition is truly a remarkable achievement, and we’re honored to have played a small part in it,” said Dan Murphy, President and CEO of Bridgestone Golf. “We are proud that Tiger played a ball made by Bridgestone in 64 of those 82 journeys to the winner’s circle, and we were with him for some of the most memorable moments along the way.


And, the fact that Tiger


achieved this milestone in the home country of our parent company makes it that much sweeter.” The Bridgestone TOUR B XS has been a constant in Tiger’s bag since he first put the ball in play in 2018, though Tiger has continued to tweak his club selection during that time. The TOUR B XS fits Tiger’s game perfectly as it offers the ideal combination of power, spin


and control he demands.


The TOUR B golf ball series is a result of Bridgestone’s continued commitment to providing premium tee-to-green performance to players of varying swing types. Bridgestone owns over 800 golf ball patents and fully leverages the company’s heritage of excellence in polymer science worldwide to design the industry’s most cutting-edge golf balls.
