Reigning Fed-Ex Cup champion Vijay Singh, a long-time Titleist Pro V1 golf ball player, has signed a multi-year contract to play Srixon’s new Z-Star golf ball. Singh also has re-signed with Srixon's sister company, Cleveland Golf, to continue to play its equipment.
Stuart Appleby, who spent the past several years with Bridgestone Golf, is moving to Callaway Golf Company (NYSE: ELY) and Harrington, the 2008 PGA Tour Player of the Year, has signed to wear FootJoy shoes.
