Bernhard Langer joins Tour Edge professional tour staff in multiyear deal
Tour Edge has announced that Bernhard Langer, the number one ranked player on the PGA Tour Champions, has joined its professional Tour staff in a multiyear agreement.
Langer recently played a Tour Edge Exotics EXS Pro Hybrid at the November Masters. For 2021, Langer is now also working extensively with the company’s Tour Department to dial-in the specs on the new Tour Edge Exotics driver, fairway metals and a complete set of Exotics irons and wedges.

Speaking on becoming a Tour Edge staffer, Bernhard Langer said
“I’m extremely excited to be joining the Tour Edge staff, they have been truly incredible to work with as I start updating my equipment. I have been playing many of the clubs in my bag for a long time, and when I started working with Tour Edge out on the PGA Tour Champions, I realized that they were the best option to getting me exactly what I needed to continue to perform at the highest level.”
In addition to the clubs, Langer will be carrying a Tour Edge Exotics staff bag and wearing the Tour Edge logo on his right sleeve.

“To be able to sign this awe-inspiring icon to our professional staff is a crowning achievement in our 35 years as a golf brand. He’s one of the very best players to ever play the game, so to have him trust Tour Edge to keep him at the top is something we are extremely proud of.” – Tour Edge President and founder David Glod.
Langer will officially make his Tour Edge Staff debut at the PGA Tour Champions Cologuard Classic in Tucson February 25th.
Tour Edge also reports that it will announce another addition to their professional staff in the coming weeks.

Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.

“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.

Given Langer had, and succeeded, with 7 different brands of clubs in his bag, not to mention the old Hogan Apex 4 shafts in the irons, this is big news. He’ll drive the Tour Exotics guys crazy getting what he wants.
