Nickent
Leads PGA Tour in Hybrid Top 10’s
Behind Jeff Quinney and Friends
The Tour’s hottest rookie, Nickent Staff Player Jeff
Quinney, continued his amazing play this past week at the
Nissan Open, earning his 4th Top 10 finish in his last 5
events. Quinney is Nickent’s only fully endorsed staff
player on the PGA Tour, and so far he leads the PGA Tour
in Top 10 finishes and in total eagles.
Quinney is ranked 8th on the PGA Tour money list and 9th
in the FedEx Cup point standings. More importantly for Nickent,
who claims to be the fastest growing golf club manufacturer
in the business, Quinney has received major worldwide exposure
for his outstanding play. Ryan Armour, another Nationwide
Tour graduate carrying a Nickent staff bag on the PGA Tour
this year, also scored a Top 10 for Nickent in only his
third start on the “big tour.”
The other PGA Tour pros earning top finishes with Nickent
hybrids are not endorsed to wear a Nickent hat or carry
a Nickent bag or club, but they are some the best players
in the world. Their exceptional play, along with Quinney’s
miraculous start, has Nickent leading the PGA Tour in hybrid
Top 5 and Top 10 finishes in 2007.
Even without the big dollars, Nickent has earned 10 Top
10 finishes and 5 Top 5 placements in the first seven events
of the PGA Tour.
The #2 ranked player in the world continued his dominant
play in 2007 with his third Top 10 of the season at the
Nissan Open. The player experienced a career year last year
with a Nickent hybrid in the bag, earning 13 Top 10 finishes
and over $7 million in earnings. The player currently ranks
third in overall scoring average on the PGA Tour with a
69.06 average, with Quinney following closely behind in
5th at 69.41.
Another standout player contributing to Nickent’s
fast start is the PGA Tour’s longest driver. He averages
315.5 yards per drive, many times hit with his Nickent 14-degree
hybrid. GolfWorld magazine recently printed the following
about his “bombs” with a Nickent hybrid in their
February 16 article entitled Hybrid Happenings.
“Need proof? At the 2005 Dunlop Phoenix event in Japan,
Bubba Watson used a 14-degree Nickent 3DX hybrid off the
tee at the 323-yard 12th hole and drove the green. And during
the third round of last year's Buick Invitational, Watson
averaged 318 yards off the tee using his hybrid on the two
measured holes. That kind of performance is the exception,
but the fact is more PGA Tour players are using hybrids
as pseudo-fairway woods.”
All in all, Nickent Golf continues to use their leadership
position as the King of Hybrids™ to grow at a feverish
pace, but the company not resting their laurels on one category.
They are introducing the new state-of-the-art 4DX Driver,
a new version of their ARC wedge and a couple of hot fairway
woods in 2007, all designed by legendary club designer and
Nickent Senior Vice President John Hoeflich. With Jeff Quinney
and the other top players in the world leading the way for
Nickent, all of the Nickent products are sure to be a big
hit when they land the market in mid-March. For more information
