Scottsdale, AZ – (February 26, 2024) – PXG PGA TOUR Rookie Jake Knapp claimed his first PGA Tour victory at the Mexico Open following an impressive birdie run on Saturday and a solid Sunday finish. Knapp went into the final round with a four-stroke lead and rallied on the back nine to finish at 19-under for the week.  

After sinking the winning putt, Knapp said, “It has always been my dream to win on the PGA TOUR. I am grateful that PXG believed I could get it done and am proud to bring one home for the PXG Troops.”  

PXG Founder and CEO Bob Parsons quickly praised Knapp for his grit and outstanding performance throughout the week. “Jake has been a true ambassador for PXG, and we couldn’t be more proud of him,” Parsons said. “His determination, focus, and dedication to the game inspire us all.

The victory was a significant milestone for Knapp, who was doubling as a bouncer just three years ago to make ends meet. After turning pro in 2016, Knapp played on the Canadian Tour and the Korn Ferry Tour, tirelessly working to improve his game and achieve his goals. Last year, after joining PXG’s professional staff, he finished high enough on the points list to officially earn his PGA TOUR card, and since then, Knapp hasn’t looked back. Sunday’s career-changing moment proved that you can reach the top of the mountain with hard work. The win also cemented Knapp’s spot in The Masters.

PXG Tour Professional Cristobal Del Solar recorded the lowest score ever in a PGA TOUR-sanctioned event, shooting a remarkable 57 during the first round of the Korn Ferry Tour’s Astara Golf Championship.

Capitalizing on the favorable conditions at Country Club de Bogota-Pacos, a par-70 course stretching 6,254 yards amidst the challenging elevation of nearly 9,000 feet, Del Solar opened with six birdies and a sensational eagle on the par-4 ninth hole, propelling him to an impressive 8-under at the turn.

Maintaining his momentum into the back nine, Del Solar showcased his skill with a birdie on the challenging par-4 10th, followed by an eagle on the demanding par-5 12th. His run continued with birdies on the 14th and 15th holes while he locked in four crucial pars on the closing stretch, notably conquering two of the course’s most formidable challenges – the par-3 17th and par-4 18th.  Finishing the day with an incredible -13 under par, Del Solar’s record 57 propels him into the history books.

Who is Cristobal Del Solar?

Cristobal Del Solar is currently navigating his sophomore year on the Korn Ferry Tour. Hailing from the ranks of Florida State University, Del Solar made the leap to professional golf in 2017 after completing his collegiate journey. Prior to earning his Korn Ferry Tour card for the 2022-23 season, he honed his skills over a four-year stint on both the PGA TOUR Latinoamerica and PGA TOUR Canada circuits. In the 2023 season, Del Solar secured a commendable 58th position on the Korn Ferry Tour Points List, showcasing his steady progress and determination on the professional golfing stage

What’s in the Bag?

Let’s take a closer look at the PXG clubs that played a pivotal role in his record-breaking round.

1. PXG Sugar Daddy II Wedges: Known for their exceptional feel and versatility, the PXG Sugar Daddy II wedges have become a favorite among elite golfers.

Scottsdale, AZ (January 4, 2024) – PXG®, a leading research and development company and golf club manufacturer, has confirmed the upcoming launch of its highly anticipated PXG Black Ops^TM collection. The new lineup is set to be deployed on January 11, 2024, and will include PXG Black Ops Drivers, PXG Black Ops Fairways, and PXG Black Ops Hybrids.

In November, PXG Blacks Ops golf clubs were added to the USGA’s conforming list, clearing the clubs for use in year-end tournaments. Within a week of testing the new clubs, PXG PGA TOUR Professional and just announced Rookie of the Year Eric Cole put the PXG Black Ops Driver in play: the result was a T3 finish at The RSM Classic.

“The new Black Ops Driver is a great blend of forgiveness and speed,” Eric Cole shared. “Switching to it, I’ve noticed more speed with solid shots, as well as with off-center strikes. It also looks great over the ball, which makes it easy to have confidence in it on tour.”

With proprietary technologies across the line that help deliver consistently long and straight performance, other tour professionals have been quick to make the Black Ops switch as well – from long hitters Jake Knapp, Patrick Fishburn, Linnea Strom, and Auston Kim to PGA TOUR winner Joel Dahmen to major champion Celine Boutier.

To celebrate the upcoming launch and honor the military and first responder community, PXG is beginning with tour of duty. The company will offer all current and past military, veterans, and first responders early access to the brand-new Black Ops collection.

“We are always looking for ways to acknowledge and show appreciation for our military and first responders,” PXG founder and CEO Bob Parsons stated. “With the launch of PXG Black Ops, we are proud to give our heroes the first crack at the brand-new clubs, which are nothing short of a total victory in woods engineering!”

With verification through the PXG for Heroes Program, golfers can preview, test, and book fittings for the new golf clubs ahead of the general public. And, in a similar fashion to other PXG product offerings, these incredible and universally underpaid individuals get a significant discount on new PXG Black Ops Drivers, Fairways, and Hybrids. PXG will also host dedicated events for heroes at all its retail stores and select fitting studios on January 6, 2024.

Since high school, Sgt. Anderson quotes golf as being a constant in his life. While he didn’t play competitively, the sport was an outlet for emotional and mental release with the added benefit of spending time with his comrades. His passion for golf carried him through his military service. However, he lacked the grip strength to play after he was injured, preventing him from making shots within 100 yards. Determined, he experimented by attaching pieces of hose to the end of three club shafts, but the makeshift adjustments continued to limit his game.

Frustrated after falling short of success with several other stores, Sgt. Anderson turned to PXG Dallas, recalling their support at a 4 the Fallen fundraiser where he is the program director for prosthetics. His journey to finding the perfect golf clubs began with a chance encounter with Jay McIlroy, one of the experienced fitters and certified club builders at PXG Dallas. Jay didn’t hesitate to help Sgt. Anderson, taking the time to understand his unique needs. They discussed his swing, concerns, and goals on the golf course. Drawing inspiration from PXG’s founder, Bob Parsons, a fellow veteran and Purple Heart recipient, Jay’s commitment to helping Sgt. Anderson went far beyond the norm for a fitter in any other golf store.

“I just thought of Mr. Parsons and what he would do, and that would be everything and anything he possibly could,” said Jay McIlroy, PXG Dallas Fitter.

Jay started by selecting stock PXG equipment that would provide Sgt. Anderson with both performance and comfort.

“The process itself was fairly easy. Jay took time out of his day to help me and get the journey started,” Sgt. Leonard Anderson said. “Other people wanted to try and reinvent the wheel, but it didn’t feel right. If you’re not the one swinging it, it’s hard to explain the feeling.”

However, Sgt. Anderson’s story didn’t end there. He needed extensions from the VA for his prosthetics for the clubs to fit, and the irons and wedges posed more of a challenge. Undeterred, Jay went the extra mile, taking the clubs home after work and making small adjustments that would make a world of difference for Sgt. Anderson.

“Taking time out of my personal day means nothing because this is something I wanted to get perfect,” Jay said. “This is an absolute honor for me. This is what I live for, something simple that makes all the difference for him. I’ve got chill bumps!”

The customization process was meticulous. Jay tailored the club lengths, lofts, and lies to accommodate Sgt. Anderson’s unique stance and swing. The result was a set of golf clubs that felt like a natural extension of Sgt. Anderson’s body, allowing him to regain his confidence and continue his path to recovery.

“It’s hard to explain what it means to me. There’s a lot to be said for someone who jumps in feet first into finding a solution. Other companies don’t give you that option unless you’re willing to spend a lot of money. PXG had that personal ability to do this for me, and once we started discussing the Heroes program, I knew it was right,” Sgt. Leonard Anderson said. “To be treated that way blew me away. It was very nice to walk into a place and be treated like I had two hands.”

For Sgt. Leonard Anderson, PXG Dallas and the exceptional support he received from Jay weren’t just about finding the perfect golf clubs. It was a testament to the power of resilience, determination, and the belief that anyone, regardless of their circumstances, can find their place on the fairway.

Camp Pendleton, CA (October 26, 2023) – For the 12th consecutive year, Semper Fi & America’s Fund (The Fund) is partnering with The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation (The Foundation) and PXG (Parsons Xtreme Golf) for the Double Down for Veterans match campaign. Through the end of the year, The Foundation, with support from PXG, will generously match up to $10 million in donations made to The Fund. If met, this match will bring support of The Fund from The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation and PXG to $100 million!

The Fund will celebrate its 20th anniversary this Spring. Since its inception in 2004, it has given more than $320 million in grants to support 31,000 combat-wounded, ill, and injured service members, veterans, and military families.

One service member, Marine Sergeant Gabe Martinez, lost both his legs when struck by an IED in Afghanistan. When Gabe returned home to be reunited with his wife of three months, Semper Fi & America’s Fund stepped in to help him overcome the challenges of returning to civilian life and managing his injury. With support from The Fund, Gabe was provided adaptive equipment that enabled him to embrace an active lifestyle, rock climbing and running marathons. Today, The Fund still stands by Gabe’s side, offering lifetime support for him and his family.

“Serving our service members, veterans, and military families for the past 19 years has been such an honor,” said Karen Guenther, President, CEO, and Founder of Semper Fi & America’s Fund. “I am so grateful to Bob and Renee Parsons for their unwavering support of our Nation’s heroes. Their generosity, through the Double Down for Veterans match campaign and beyond, has helped countless veterans achieve their highest level of independence and well-being.”

As many service members battle lifelong effects — physical, mental, and emotional — of combat-related injuries or illnesses, one of the critical characteristics of The Fund is lifelong support. The Fund accompanies service members and veterans through the highs and lows, with case managers to check in regularly and other support for as long as needed.

 “Transitioning away from military service, whether planned or unplanned due to injury, is never easy,” said Bob Parsons, Marine Corps Vietnam War Veteran, Co-Founder of The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation and Founder and CEO of PXG. “Often times these service men, women, and families are carrying both visible and invisible wounds that they’re unprepared to deal with. That’s where The Fund comes in, providing a unique level of support during their time of need.”

Parsons issued the Double Down for Veterans challenge via a moving video address in which he discusses his own personal challenge with PTSD.

Since it began in 2012, the Double Down for Veterans match campaign has raised $193 million thanks to the thousands of donors who, year after year, have looked forward to participating in the annual match from The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation and PXG. These funds have helped support 31,000 service members, veterans, and military families in The Fund’s care.

“Bob and I have a deep commitment to our military families – those who safeguard and preserve our Nation’s freedom,” said Renee Parsons, Co-founder of The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation and President and Executive Creative Director of PXG Apparel. “The Fund’s unique model of lifetime assistance ensures they always have the care and support they need.  And we are honored to partner, personally and through PXG, to provide the hope and unparalleled care they deserve.”

All donations can be made at thefund.org/donate.

About Semper Fi & America’s Fund:

Semper Fi & America’s Fund was started by military spouses, who immediately jumped in to provide bedside support to early wounded and injured service members from Iraq and Afghanistan. Those same military spouses run The Fund today and now include a patriotic staff of veterans, community members, and volunteers dedicated to providing hope, healing, and quality-of-life solutions through needs-based financial assistance, tailored support, and innovative programming.
