Bridgestone Golf has reached an agreement with 6-time major champion Lee Trevino to endorse the company’s Tour B330-RX golf ball. As part of the arrangement, Trevino will play the B330-RX in all professional and exhibition appearances this year, and will star in an upcoming ad with Fred Couples.
Trevino, widely recognized as one of the greatest golfers of all time, won 29 times on the PGA TOUR (including 2 U.S. Opens, 2 British Opens and 2 PGA Championships) and 29 times on the Champions Tour throughout a storied career that spanned four decades.
Introduced in fall of 2008, the Bridgestone Golf Tour B330-RX is the first ever tour performance golf ball designed for Amateur swing speeds. I've heard good things about the ball, but haven't had a chance to actually try it.
Trevino has -- and he likes it.
“This spring, I was playing a round with some friends and stumbled across the B330-RX on the course,” said Trevino. “It was like love at first strike. I couldn’t believe how far I hit the ball and neither could my playing partners. Not only did this baby go off the tee, but also the performance on and around the greens was pure tour. It was then that I realized that I had found the Holy Grail of golf balls.”
