Did Charles Howell iii leave PXG?

[Golfer4Life]

Greg Norman, Michelle Wie, Lydia Ko, to name three.

 

Wie tinkers too much with her swing and ko let her dad get in her head about getting flatter and interfered to many times during lessons. Her fall off had nothing to do with leabetter ather her desire to gain distance and not being able to tell parents no

 

Regardless, all were world class BEFORE going to Leadbetter. Since then?

You're right, Shark hasn't won for a while.

 

Shark? Lol...

Was it 18 straight years of making at least a million on Tour? Only Tiger and Phil done it longer?

Tiger streak was 14 seasons (1997-2010).

Pumped to see CH3 win again, such a solid and consistent player. Want to see him win more now!

[Ferguson]

Great win. Always been a fan. Loved when that putt went down in sudden death.

[jmck]

Even if ch3 doesn't win....kinda an FU to PXG

 

How's that? He was playing well with PXG equipment.

 

Uhh...let's see...0 wins with PXG.....first week with another manufacturer.....WIN.... Do you understand the "how's that?" Now?...

 

No one's ex-staffers win immediately after switching to a competitor's equipment like ours do. Period.

Oh yes, the equipment thing. FYI, he was 0 for 5 with 54 hole leads, way before PXG was even around.

 

What would be the excuse?

It's funny because I'm not a fan of PXG for my own reasons and I am a fan of Titleist. But CHIII has always been one of the best on Tour tee to green regardless of what was in his bag. He didn't win much when he was with Bridgestone and they get a lot of love on this board and I think he was with them a lot longer than he was with PXG. I haven't compared his ball striking statistics from his PXG years against any others - I'm just not that interested. It could have been that the PXG equipment just wasn't a good fit for him but that doesn't make it bad. And I'm not aware of any bad blood between Howell and PXG so I didn't get the F U reference unless seve1972 has some kind of inside info. Howell just had a very good, and well deserved week. And I found more humor in the CT headcover on the Spider putter than anything else.

no love or hate for PXG here, but it was not because of the equipment...

Interested to see how he does in the majors and WGCs from now, so far his record is quite poor.

[Z1ggy16]

Chucky 3 sticks back in the winner's circle is nice to se. Seems like a pretty cool and down to earth guy. Swing in person looked effortless. Looks like getting some new clubs in the bag sparked his game

Greg Norman-aka great white shark

[Golfer4Life]

Oh yes, yes, yes.

[mosesgolf]

Kuchar, Westwood, Willet, and now CHIII. Hmmmmm. It's great to see guys who've been somewhat or mostly written off win again. DW another victim of the WRX reverse jinx. :D

[soap1984]

Happy for him. He should have won with the pxgs;can't remember if it was last year or two years ago he lost in a playoff and just gave the tourney away to a nike guy, Kyle Stanley I think.

That was cute.

Happy to see CHIII win! However, was hoping to see him with more of a mixed back after leaving PXG

yer overthinking this.....(clearly went too far into the stats).....

[chachd]

Great to see CHIII win again!! At his level I don't think the actual equipment has anything to do with winning, however, if it was in his head that he was playing better with the Titleist equipment then it made a world of difference!!

Does PXG have 2 wins on the PGA Tour? Horschel and Hahn?

Ryan Armour won the 2017 Sanderson Farms with PXG irons. He was not on the PXG staff.

Billy Hoerschel with 2 wins

I still have a hard time calling the Zurich team event a win but officially it is.

I debated whether the state one was a team event. But it is what it is.

[Nixhex524]

Can't say it was purely down to equipment, but I am inclined to say it helped him get this one for sure. "At this level, guys can play anything"... While I am sure they have less issues than most of us switching around equipment, the fact that a lot of guys have gone with mixed bags kind of shows that what they are looking down at is very important to them, maybe Titleist IS better than PXG in this aspect for CHIII. We will see how he does going forward but it will be interesting to watch.

[GoGoErky]

He stated in an interview about picking up ball speed went up and his dispersion improved. Sounds like a better fit

KA BOOM, baby!

[seve1972]

look...I think it's interesting that his win came at the timing of him moving away from PXG...that's all. The "FU" was not intended to speak on behalf of CH, but rather represent success despite PXG (it's called Hyperbole ya 3rd graders....).... but to say it was not because of the equipment is borderline misguidance. Do you actually think he would have won had he bagged PXG........really?....we'll never know....

[youraway2]

Well the question of this thread has been answered, yes he did,

[fly787]

Chucky III Sticks clearly said he picked up distance and control with the Titleist woods. PXG irons are pretty darn good but maybe it was the big sticks holding him back?
