Odyssey Putters on Tour
There are a lot of putters on Tour. But only one brand of putters can be #1. For the last ten years, more players across the six major golf Tours have trusted Odyssey putters to put them in the position to win. And when they are handed the crystal, collect the check, or earn their PGA Tour card, the pros and the putters the pros use earn a spot in the Odyssey Wins Archive where their performances are immortalized. Below is a list of articles about the putters the pros use. |

72 wins. $22 million in career earnings. There is only one Annika.
As if her 72nd career victory wasn't impressive enough, Annika Sorenstam also set the career earnings record this past weekend at the Michelob ULTRA Open topping the $22 million mark. She left little hope for the competition, finishing with a tournament-record 19-under, 7 strokes better than second place.

Odyssey and Ernie Els enjoy a big weekend.
At the 2008 Honda Classic, the Big Easy ended with a come-from-behind win using his Odyssey® Prototype White Hot XG® #5. Amazingly, he wasn't the only player on the leader board playing an Odyssey putter. In fact, the second place finisher had a White Hot XG® #7 in his bag and the third place finisher a Black Series i – a brand new putter released in January, featuring precision-crafted, multi-material construction with the new, firmer Tour insert.
Faced with one of the toughest events of the season, Ernie posted a 3-under 67 early and then watched as player after player signed their scorecards, unable to match his score. By Sunday afternoon he had earned $990,000, and moved into third place in the FedEx standings.

Double Win
It was a weekend of firsts for Annika Sorenstam and Phil Mickelson. After winning nearly every event during the West Coast swing, Lefty finally added the Riviera notch to his belt his 33rd Tour win. He defeated the 2nd place winner, also playing an Odyssey, with a 1-under 70 on Sunday, following up rounds of 68 on Thursday, 64 on Friday and another 70 on Saturday. After four events in 2008, Mickelson leads the Tour in FedExCup points, as well as money earned, and he's trusted his Odyssey White Hot XG #9 through it all.
Across the Pacific, Annika Sorenstam kicked off the 2008 LPGA season with an impressive win at the SBS Open. Her first time playing Turtle Bay, she sealed her 70th LPGA Tour victory with her Odyssey White Hot 2-Ball on a 24-foot putt on the 17th that she described as a putt she'll "remember for a long time."
1 weekend. 2 wins for Odyssey.

Odyssey's White Hot Rossie Wins at Pebble Beach
In the face of bad bounces and harsh holes, tough competition and their miraculous scores, and even Mother Nature's tendency to send his ball into hazards, the winner of the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am persevered. And he did it with the Odyssey White Hot Rossie.
It took him 199 tournaments to return to the top of the leader board, but with White Hot Rossie in hand, he managed to overcome two double bogeys, a three-shot deficit, and one of the best players in the world.
He recorded six of his comeback birdies on the back nine, highlighted by stellar on-the-green play. A clutch 20-foot putt on 17 helped him take the lead and a seven-footer on the first extra hole earned him a large portion of a $6 million purse, the third spot in the FedEx Cup Standings, and an invitation to the Masters. Not to mention his first win in seven years.

On the other side of the world, the winner of the Deutsche Bank Players Championship was claiming his first European Tour victory with a White Hot XG #7. And to cap off another historic weekend, on the Nationwide Tour, the winner captured his 2nd victory of the year, also using a White Hot XG #7, to virtually lock up his PGA Tour card for next year.
