Pat Perez is officially a PXG staffer

Published

on

It doesn’t look like Pat Perez’s Tiger Woods comments were a bother to Parsons Xtreme Golf in the lead up to this news: Perez is officially a PXG staffer.

Perez will make his first start as part of PXG’s staff at next week’s WGC Mexico. He’s had PXG irons in the bag since late last year, however, and the deal has been in the works.

“We were already working on a deal with Pat,” company founder Bob Parsons told Golf Digest’s Michael Johnson. “The signing wasn’t because of what he said about Tiger. Pat’s a local guy. I know him. He’s played very well. I love that he’s outspoken. I couldn’t see a reason not to sign him.”

Perez’s deal with Callaway ended last year, and it seems Parsons was keen to reward the Phoenix native’s allegiance to the Phoenix-based company.

“Pat likes us and has been an ally, a friend,” Parsons said. “It’s like what my dad told me about dating. He said the number one thing to look for in a girlfriend is one who likes you. If she doesn’t, the rest doesn’t matter. Pat likes us and we like him and he wasn’t signed with anyone so I told our guys to get him.”

When we caught up with him at the OHL Classic, he was gaming TaylorMade M2 woods with PXG irons. Perez’s PXG-specific WITB reads as follows, as per the PXG website.

  • PXG 0311XF (3 and 4 iron)
  • PXG 0311 (5-9 irons)
  • PXG 0311 Milled Sierra Wedges (46 and 54 degrees)
  • PXG 0311 Milled Romeo Wedge (60 degrees)
  • Putter: PXG Gunboat

PXG’s PGA Tour staff includes Zach Johnson, Billy Horschel, James Hahn, Charles Howell III, Ryan Moore, and Charl Schwartzel.

Another interesting note, per Michael Johnson, Golf Datatech shows PXG has an almost 10 percent share of dollars spent on irons.

“We’re doing very well right now,” Parsons told Golf Digest. “We’re on track to have 25 fitting vans across the country and we’re conducting 20 to 30 PXG Experiences a month. I feel we can get to $100 million in sales this year.”

    Parsons has to be a total clown by saying we’re doing very well right now. Does he really think the average golfer will even think of buying his clubs at a price of 5000.00 dollars a set. The golf industry is struggling now for sales and some are closing their doors. Except for PGA or LPGA players I don’t see the normal person playing his over priced equipment.

    Pat said what everyone was thinking and Tiger already knows in his heart. I think the world of Pat and Parsons who are good old Americans, everyone else just can’t handle the truth. ????????

    He needs to learn to yell ‘Fore’!
    He gets plenty of opportunity to say it.
    I would wear a helmet watching him!

    Feel badly for Pat if he has to put the PXG woods in play.

    Articles on some guys names Bryson, Perez, and the guy who hasn’t made a cut since August 2015 seem to be dominating WRX lately… (insert confused looking emoji here)

    “The bottom line is, he knows he can’t win anything,” Anonymous internet poster said of Perez on his radio show. “He’s got this new sponsorship that he started, so he’s got to keep his name relevant to keep the sponsorship going. So he’s going to show up to a few events… he’s going to try to make some divisive, outlandish comments for headlines. “What’s the bag? He’s got to go out there and show the PXG bag, gonna show the PXG driver, he’s going to get on TV, you know he’s got the PXG hat, he’s got to keep that stuff relevant. The bottom line is, he knows he can’t beat anybody. He knows it,”

    Congrats Pat for getting this endorsement. Hopefully your game gets better and better.

    Seriously, any golfer who answers to ‘bruh’ is not where I would spending time or money. Especially a brand whose motto is ‘we’re expensive…and rivets!’

    I was interesttd to see Pat back in the mix but surprised he would be critical of Tiger as he makes a come back.
    I don’t think he will relate to the PXG buyers but that’s just my opinion.
    Pat should just focus on his own game and act a bit more professional. He obviously has engrained thoughts and beliefs that will come out.

    I’m sure PP is not getting much $$$. Whatever he gets he will have to payback for all the broken shafts he will have to buy. Clown owner and a bigger clown staffer.

      A billionaire and a guy with $20M in PGA earning – yep a couple of clowns with no clue…..

        Feb 28, 2017 at 10:06 pm

        Never said they didn’t have a clue. They are both loud mouth clowns with no class and as we know you can’t buy class. Hope that makes sense to you.

    With 2 wins in 20 years on tour, I bet the endorsements coming in from every club maker. Glad he picked the brand that is slowly making Zach Johnson and Billy Horshel irrelevant.

    • ROY

      Feb 28, 2017 at 4:57 pm

      With $20M in career earnings doubt he needs much endorsement money

    Atta Boy, Double P taking it to the Extreme while sporting his Jordan’s on the course. I must admit I was not a fan of this guy until I moved to Arizona back in 2014.

    Feb 27, 2017 at 2:54 pm

    it all makes sense now – brilliant move Mr. Parsons – make someone who most people don’t know relevant by creating buzz / controversy then announce PXG endorsement. puppeteering the media for free marketing.

    That sounds about right…

    Good for Pat, now he needs to learn how to get in all FOUR ROUNDS without a blow up round….Countless times the last 3 or 4 years Pat has three rounds worthy of top ten or better but his other round, be it the second, third or forth seems to slip away from him….he has to somehow break that “Daly Curse” where one or two blown holes need not be the end of a round….

      A decent hair cut might help too!

      Yea, you are right 14 majors is definitely not as good as 0.

      “without a blow up round” I’d rather him stop sending balls into the gallery without yelling fore.

      Feb 28, 2017 at 10:38 am

      Ya, it’s called being a CHOKER! He chokes like a dog….

      • ROY

        Feb 28, 2017 at 4:58 pm

        Choked his way to $20M+ in career earnings

        • Adam

          Roy: are you secretly PP or you just hoping for a last little spark to his soon to be ending carreer????

GolfWRX is on site for the second major of 2026: The PGA Championship from Aronimink in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania.

The tournament’s location, just outside Philadelphia, and its status as a major championship mean GolfWRXers are in for a treat: WITBs from a strong field, custom gear celebrating the PGA Championship, and the rich culture of the City of Brotherly Love — we have noted a relative absence of cheesesteak-themed items thus far this week, but most of the rest of the usual suspects are well represented.
