TRANSCRIPTS
-Hi. Here with Tim Clarke, president of Wilson Golf. And
Tim, you guys have a lot of exciting things going
on right now at Wilson starting with some new players
who have joined your staff. -Yeah. Wynn, it's a-- it's
a-- the players are always the fun thing to talk
about. Clearly, we resigned Padraig Harrington who is our marquee
player and he's been with us basically every year that
he has been a professional, won his majors with us.
We have a new major winner on the LPGA, Karen
Stupples, Orlando native. -Great personality. -Wonderful person who plays out
of Lake Nona's. She was here yesterday for-- for our
signing announcement with her and then of course we have
Kevin Streelman, Ricky Barnes, Mike Small, Anthony Wall. So, on
the worldwide basis, we continue to make the investments in
the tour staff and-- and it is that tour staff
who gets a lot of attention as all the golfers
do now. -Yes. Nice stable of players you guys have.
I know we've been looking at some of your new
clubs over here. You said Karen picked this one off--
-Karen. Yeah, it is-- -put this right into use in
her bag. -Well, the exciting part about this is, you
know, when you look at Wilson, Karen actually played those
irons last year. She was not contracted with us last
year, but she did play the irons all season. So,
it was great when she called and said, "Hey, I
really wanted to make the switch and join the brand."
So, the FG Tour iron, which is out in the
market place, all of our tour players made the switch.
They've been all playing it most of last year-- -Uh-huh.
-but the one that really is exciting is the introduction
of the new Ci11. This is a game improvement iron.
It's obviously got a-- a PVD or gunmetal finish. -Uh-huh.
-The PVD-- -it's got this nice look too. -A very
nice look and-- and the nice thing about it is
it's an iron that's oversized, has a little offset, so
it's very easy to play, but when you set it
down, it still looks like a golf club. It doesn't
look super oversized and we're getting great response on this
product. It was a hot listed product this year, so
just a lot of good things going on at Wilson
Golf right now. -Yes indeed and you-- I know you
guys are doing a lot with Golf Channel as well.
-Yeah, the Golf Channel. I tell you to seriously campaign,
we had Guy Johnson who is our, you know, to
seriously campaign, it started-- -Seriously? -Seriously. -Seriously-- -Guy, the seriously
man, was on site and it was amazing. He-- He
is actually turning to be a big celebrity that obviously
some of our players at this point, which is not
really what the original plan was, but we're gonna go
with it because it's working quite well. -It's fun. Definitely
makes me laugh every time-- -Yes. -I see that one.
Well, thanks so much, Tim. I appreciate it. Good luck
here with the new season with Wilson. -Thank you. Thanks
for having us.
