UNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. — November 22,
H2021 — SRIXON® and Cleveland Golf,
Sumitomo Rubber Industries, LTD. are proud to
announce that Brooks Koepka has joined its Tour
staff. As a new member of our Tour Staff,
Koepka will play a Srixon Driver, Srixon Irons,Cleveland
Golf Wedges, Srixon Golf Ball, and carry a Srixon Staff
Bag.“I am very excited to join my good friends
Shane Lowry, Graeme McDowell and Hideki
Matsuyama as a Srixon and Cleveland Golf Tour
Staff member,” said Brooks Koepka. “I’ve been an
equipment free agent for the past few years, so it
will be fun to be involved with a company on a daily
basis and be able to contribute to the development
of their future equipment. I put the ZX7 Irons in play
in January and it is the best iron I have played on Tour.
I look forward to kicking off our new partnership this
week in Las Vegas!”
The 31-year-old Koepka began working with Srixon’s Tour
Department earlier this year as he played the ZX7 Irons
throughout the 2021 Tour season. Koepka gamed the ZX7
Irons while capturing his 8th career PGA TOUR victory at
the Waste Management Phoenix Open this past season.
A four-time major winner including back-to-back victories
at the U.S. Open (2017, 2018) and PGA Championship
(2018, 2019), Koepka remains one of the best players in
the world. Koepka reached world number one status in
2018, along with representing his country on multiple
occasions (Ryder Cup 2016, 2018, 2020; Presidents Cup
2017) highlighted by helping Team USA register a historic
victory at Whistling Straits just a few weeks ago.
“We’re extremely proud to have Brooks come on board
