GOLF+ Invites Golfers to Step onto the Virtual Course with Just Released PXG 0311 GEN6 Golf Clubs

Scottsdale, AZ (March 27, 2023) – New PXG GEN6 Golf Clubs have launched simultaneously in real life and virtual reality. Through an innovative partnership, PXG’s new flagship line of blazing fast, beyond forgiving, and beautifully made golf clubs are now available in GOLF+, the ultimate virtual reality (VR) golf experience and the exclusive VR Golf game of the PGA TOUR developed by Golf Scope Inc.

“We are thrilled that GOLF+ will be the first VR platform to feature the highly-anticipated PXG GEN6 golf clubs on the same day as their real-world release. Whether you’re a seasoned player or just starting out, our virtual environment provides an immersive and accessible way to experience the latest groundbreaking release from the PXG team,” said GOLF+ president James Wright.

The exciting collaboration expands the opportunity for golfers to experience and enjoy PXG’s new technology. PXG customers who purchase GEN6 Golf Clubs will enjoy complimentary access to the GEN6 lineup, while gamers can redeem tokens to buy the new high-performance clubs in the VR game.

PXG Chief Product Officer Brad Schweigert shared, “it is very cool to see our club designs come to life in VR! The entire GOLF+ environment feels incredibly lifelike, and I am very impressed with the amount of detail and realistic look of our PXG GEN6 Golf Clubs. The VR game is loads of fun, which pairs perfectly with our mission to help increase people’s enjoyment of golf on and off the course.”

To celebrate the launch of PXG GEN6 Golf Clubs, GOLF+ is hosting a weeklong digital challenge for Meta Quest 2 users starting today, March 27, 2023. The challenge consists of nine non-traditional Par 3 layouts, taking players through their entire bag from Pitching Wedge through Driver on iconic courses including TPC Scottsdale and Sawgrass. The top 26 finishers (26 signifying the 26th Marine Corps Regiment that PXG founder Bob Parsons served with during the Vietnam War) will receive a full set of GEN6 Golf Clubs in the game, and the overall winner will receive a custom fitting and full set of PXG 0311 GEN6 Golf Clubs for on-course play.

PXG 0311 GEN6 Irons

PXG GEN6 Irons – available in Players (P) and Xtreme Performance (XP) models – are the longest, most forgiving irons PXG has ever released. PXG 0311 PÒ GEN6 Irons provide an ideal balance of workability and forgiveness. These irons, designed for low to mid-handicap players, feature moderate offset and a mid-size head design with a clean aesthetic. Designed for mid to high-handicap players, PXG 0311 XPÒ GEN6 Irons feature a larger head with more offset to deliver an incredibly soft feel, extreme distance performance, and excellent forgiveness. 

PXG 0311 GEN6 Drivers

Engineered to deliver incredible forgiveness, maximum distance, and tight dispersion, PXG 0311 GEN6 Drivers are available in two models to suit golfers at all levels. The 0311 GEN6 Driver features a traditional teardrop head shape with a notably curved crown structure and a shorter body from front to back. The tall/deep clubface is designed to support excellent mishit performance, especially on higher face impacts. The 0311 XFÒ GEN6 Driver has a larger head profile and a more symmetrical shape than its counterpart. This makes it easier to square the face at impact, delivering the ideal blend of distance and forgiveness. 

PXG 0311 GEN6 Fairways

PXG 0311 GEN6 Fairways have an innovative low profile with a flat sole suitable for players of all abilities. These easy-to-launch fairways provide maximum distance, tight dispersion off the tee or turf, and a fantastic sound and feel. PXG 0311 XF GEN6 Fairways are engineered for golfers seeking maximum forgiveness. The large, squared face expands the hitting zone to provide off-center hit forgiveness leading to faster ball speeds with greater distance. The Railed Sole helps the club move effortlessly through the turf so golfers can get the ball up in the air and down the fairway.

PXG Continues to Expand Its Global Footprint to Serve More Customers Through an Innovative Direct-to-Consumer Golf Club and Apparel Distribution Model

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (August 18, 2022) – Inc. revealed that PXG – Parsons Xtreme Golf – is No. 2308 on its annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list represents a one-of-a-kind look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic sector – its independent small businesses.

Founded by entrepreneur, philanthropist, and self-proclaimed golf nut Bob Parsons, PXG is a research and development company dedicated to creating the world’s finest golf clubs and apparel. Today, the American company has grown its footprint to have global influence, serving golfers in more than 50 countries through an innovative direct-to-consumer model. 

“Being recognized by Inc. Magazine is not an honor we take lightly. It is one we work hard to achieve by focusing on being better every day in every aspect of our business,” Bob Parsons stated. “Our team’s commitment to creating exceptional products and our customer’s enthusiasm for the experience we deliver is the reason for the success we have experienced. And I think it is safe to say we’re just getting started.” 

PXG entered what was a saturated market in 2013, at a time when participation in golf was on the decline. But Bob Parsons saw a unique opportunity to change the approach to golf club research and development, dissolving both product release cycles and limitations to resources, for the benefit of consumers. By 2019 the company made its debut on the Inc. 5000, and in 2022, PXG secured its third recognition.

The companies on the 2022 Inc. 5000 list have not only been successful but have also demonstrated resilience amid supply chain woes, labor shortages, and the ongoing impact of COVID-19. With the foresight to stay the course and the decision to triple down on inventory, PXG experienced rapid expansion both domestically and internationally – custom building and shipping millions of golf clubs in record time. 

PXG also dramatically expanded its apparel offerings under the direction of Renee Parsons. As President and Executive Creative Director of PXG Apparel, Renee Parsons built a top-caliber team, from design and sourcing to distribution and analytics to fuel growth. 

“We are paving our own unique path in golf and fashion. By fusing performance, comfort, and style into all we do, PXG is designing and producing pieces that fill a void we saw in the golf apparel industry. Early adoption has exceeded our expectations, and I am excited to continue evolving and creating in this space,” said Renee Parsons.

“The accomplishment of building one of the fastest-growing companies in the U.S., in light of recent economic roadblocks, cannot be overstated,” says Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc. “Inc. is thrilled to honor the companies that have established themselves through innovation, hard work, and rising to the challenges of today.”

PXG Introduces Actor, Comedian, and Retired Marine Rob Riggle as the Company’s Newest Ambassador

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (July 28, 2022) – PXG, the fun-loving, performance-focused golf equipment and apparel company, announced Rob Riggle as its newest ambassador. The multi-talented actor, comedian, writer, producer, director, retired Marine Lieutenant Colonel, and golf nut will officially represent PXG on the golf course and collaborate in creating top-shelf content. 

Riggle’s first project with PXG is a six-part web series, Playing Around with Rob Riggle. Click here to watch the teaser! 

The series premieres on YouTube on Thursday, August 18, 2022, with new episodes airing every Thursday for six weeks. Each episode features Riggle and guests playing three holes at Scottsdale National Golf Club as they chat about life, work, and their passion for the game of golf. Guests include NFL players, golf broadcasters, military veterans, PXG customers, and more.

On his relationship with PXG, Riggle shared, “I love golf. I love PXG. I love playing golf with PXG!” 

As an avid golf enthusiast, Riggle fell in love with the sport at the age of 12 after hitting a bucket of balls with his mom’s clubs. He currently hosts the extreme miniature golf game show Holey Moley on ABC but is best known for his roles in The Hangover21 & 22 Jump StreetDumb and Dumber ToThe Other GuysLet’s Be Cops, and Step Brothers; as well as his work on Saturday Night Live and The Daily Show.

Like PXG Founder and CEO Bob Parsons, Rob Riggle is a United States Marine. He joined the Marine Corps in 1990 at 19, rising through the ranks and serving in various countries, including Albania, Liberia, and Afghanistan. He retired from the Marine Corps after 23 years of service.

“We’ve been team Riggle for years. Now, I am pleased and proud to officially welcome my fellow Devil Dog and funny man, Rob Riggle, to team PXG,” Bob Parsons stated. 

Rob Riggle is a longtime fan of the PXG brand. An equipment junkie, Riggle initially sought out a golf club fitting at PXG Headquarters in true Marine meets comedy style. He took matters into his own hands. He hopped on a Southwest flight, called an Uber, and landed on PXG’s welcome mat. 

The personalized fitting experience and an impressive first round on the golf course made PXG a mainstay in Riggle’s golf bag. Over the years, PXG has supported Riggle’s annual charity InVETational Golf Tournament. And later, Riggle accepted an invitation to participate in the PXG College Golf Showcase as Team Semper Fi & America’s Fund captain. 

So, what’s In Rob Riggle’s bag?

“I knew I could count on Bob Parsons to deliver the goods! He’s a fellow Marine after all,” Riggle stated. “When my PXG clubs arrived in that awesome black box, I knew things were about to improve. Collaborating with PXG is the best break my golf game has ever received.”

DETROIT (July 27, 2022) – PXG, an innovative golf company dedicated to developing high-performance equipment and apparel, partnered with DAPCEP (Detroit Area Pre-College Engineering Program) and Rocket Mortgage to provide 24 local high school students with a first-hand look at the STEM fields associated with golf. Hosted at PXG Detroit in Troy, the PXG Detroit STEM Experience included four interactive experiments developed and led by PXG Engineers and Fitting Specialists. Activities ranged from measuring smash factor and solving C.O.R to a putting challenge and getting the chance to swing away in the TrackMan golf simulator.

“At our core, PXG is a research and development company with a passion for golf. That passion motivates us to be an advocate for innovation and to help advance the game,” said PXG Chief Product Officer Brad Schweigert. “This partnership has been a fun opportunity to introduce students, who have an appetite for STEM, to some of the amazing career opportunities in golf and get them excited about the game.”

DAPCEP is an educational 501c3 organization providing high-quality and standards-aligned science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) programming to youth in metropolitan Detroit. Both PXG and DAPCEP are dedicated to the fact that the future workplace is diverse and reflects the unique strengths of people from a wide array of backgrounds and communities, particularly the Detroit Metropolitan Area.

“This partnership with PXG has been absolutely amazing and such a great opportunity for our students to not only learn about a sport, but the science behind it and how they can apply STEM concepts to the game,” said Michelle Reaves, Executive Director of DAPCEP. “We want to provide exposure points for our students to learn about careers that they haven’t necessarily thought of before and this is absolutely one of those times.”

DAPCEP’s mission aligns well with the values of PXG, an active participant in the national #MakeGolfYourThing movement. These values include promoting research and development, advancing the game, and changing the way people think about golf. Through today’s program, PXG immersed itself in the Detroit community by creating a fun, inclusive and educational way to grow the game among Detroit’s youth, breaking down barriers and making golf approachable for both existing golfers and those who are open to learning the game.

Following the experience at PXG Detroit, the group traveled to Detroit Golf Club as special guests of Rocket Mortgage. There, from the comfort of the 18th Green Hospitality Chalet, students were able to witness the science of golf executed in a real-life setting during the Delta Dental Pro-Am. As an extra treat, NFL Hall of Fame running back and Detroit Lions legend Barry Sanders stopped in during his round for a quick meet-and-greet and autograph session with the students. Rocket Mortgage also gifted each student two tickets to return to the 2022 Rocket Mortgage Classic later in the week to watch the PGA Pros put their STEM and athletic skills to the test on the course.

“After having this experience, I now have a better idea of the type of engineering I’m interested in,” said rising 12th grader and DAPCEP student Jasmyn Harris. “I want to thank PXG and DAPCEP for having all of us come in for such an amazing opportunity to learn more about the sport and make new friends.”

PXG Detroit, opened in December 2021, is one of the company’s 16 brick-and-mortar retail stores and encompasses 7,843 square feet with three spacious fitting bays fully equipped with state-of-the-art TrackMan technology, a 390 square-foot putter fitting studio, and a 185 square-foot practice green.

PXG is dedicated to developing the world’s finest golf equipment and apparel and ensuring the future of golf is open to everyone. Learn more by following @pxg on social or visit www.PXG.com.

With the 2022 release of PXG 0311 GEN5 Irons, PXG has raised the bar and set the benchmark for all other irons – again. Since its inception in 2014, PXG has disrupted the world of golf with its relentless pursuit and success in developing industry-leading golf club technology.

GEN5 Irons are available in three impressive head shapes, XP (Xtreme Performance)P (Players), and T (Tour).

Matt Adams, Fairways of Life Podcast Host, discusses the new product and breaks down the incredible technology and benefits of each new GEN5 Iron model.

PXG 0311 XP GEN5 IRONS

PXG 0311 P GEN5 IRONS

PXG 0311 T GEN5 IRONS

GEN5 Irons employ various breakthrough technologies.

ABOUT XCOR2 TECHNOLOGY

It’s the inside that counts. And with PXG golf irons, that statement rings true! A result of years of research and development, XCOR2 is PXG’s revolutionary polymer core material, designed specifically for GEN5 Irons.

Extremely lightweight, XCOR2 helps reduce the mass of the core by 6-8 grams. This enables more weight to be positioned low and to the perimeter of the backside of the clubhead, dramatically increasing MOI and forgiveness.

Check out our quick read for a crash course on MOI and learn why MOI is important for your game.

POWER CHANNEL TECHNOLOGY

A further advancement for our GEN5 Irons is the integration of a new under-the-hood design feature – Power Channel Technology.

This proprietary U-shaped corridor built into the internal surface of the face is designed to increase deflection and bend in the top sector. The channel creates face movement and transfers energy to simultaneously increase launch angle, trajectory, and ball speed. Combined with our ultra-thin face technology – the thinnest in the industry – and XCOR2, we were able to enhance the C.O.R. for extreme face deflection and out-of-sight ball speed.

ULTRA-THIN FACE

Since PXG’s inception, our brand has maintained the thinnest face in golf. An industry breakthrough, our ultra-thin face technology continues to deliver unmatched feel and mishit performance.

Combined with our proprietary XCOR2 Technology, GEN5 Irons offer our highest C.O.R. performance ever. Made from high strength HT1770 maraging steel and measuring a mere 0.058″ (~1.55mm) thick.

PRECISION WEIGHTING TECHNOLOGY

GEN5 Irons feature five tungsten heel/toe weights and one large weight located near the CG on the back of the clubhead. The larger weight allows golfers to experience various swing weights during an in-person fitting.

PXG IS SHAPING THE FUTURE OF THE GAME

At our core, PXG is a research and development company. Our commitment to finding

new materials, integrating new technologies, and using a data-driven approach to golf club design translates to real and measurable gains.

We’re not kidding around when we say our new GEN5 Irons deliver cannon-like distance, angelic forgiveness, laser-like accuracy, and incredible sound and feel. Just one swing, you’ll feel the difference. So, what are you waiting for? GEN5 Golf Clubs are shipping now!

On June 30, 2022, the women of PXG will take leave of their work to head to the golf course. For a second year, led by President and Executive Creative Director of PXG Apparel Renee Parsons, more than 150 women are expected to answer the call to play.

“PXG Women’s Day to Play is a punctuation mark in an ongoing effort by the company to encourage more women to get into golf,” Renee Parsons shared. “This opportunity brings the women of PXG centerstage and celebrates their daily efforts to help grow the business and the game.” 

The invitation for a paid day off extends to every woman at every level of the company, from club builder to executive. It also encourages participation by players of every skill set, from first-timer to scratch golfer. 

Player Support Specialist III Sophie O’Dell shared, “I feel incredibly fortunate to work for a company that supports women in the golf industry and our unparalleled love for the game.”

During PXG Women’s Day to Play, participants will enjoy golf, lessons, and lunch.

“As a woman, a golfer, and part of team PXG, I am grateful to have the opportunity to celebrate women’s golf month once again with other ladies who inspire me to help grow the game for women and girls,” PXG Regional Sales Manager Jasi Acharya said. “This is just one of many examples where Mr. and Mrs. Parsons continue to pave a different path in golf, and I cannot thank them enough for the support.”

“It feels like we’re at a turning point in golf,” said PXG Sr. Director of Content Kate Sheppard. “As a life-long golfer, I’m always excited to help introduce people to the game and I love seeing this sport grow!”

A global research and development company, PXG does not create golf clubs for men, women, juniors, or seniors. The company instead focuses on making golf clubs for golfers – clubs built to meet the unique needs of every player at every level. 

“Give us your swing, and we will give you our smoking hot technology, in many cases at a surprisingly affordable price, so you can find success and a good time on the golf course,” Renee Parsons concluded.

Last night, PXG honored its roots during an event that exuded red, white, and blue in celebration of the opening of its PXG Fairfax store. Military veterans, notables, athletes, and clients alike, joined PXG Founder and CEO, Bob Parsons and President and Executive Creative Director of Apparel, Renee Parsons, for the all-American celebration of the new retail store.

Opening a storefront in Fairfax, VA was a natural choice for www.pxg.com as the Washington, DC metro area ranks the 7th largest golf market in the country based on number of golfers. The area also boasts 79 golf courses in a 20-mile radius, including some of the most famed private courses in the region and the much-respected Army Navy Country Club. Located at 9600 Main Street STE P, Fairfax, VA, 22031, less than an hour away from Bob Parsons’ hometown of Baltimore, MD, and just outside of Washington, DC, the state-of-the-art facility supports an unparalleled shopping experience for golfers and non-golfers alike.

American-owned and America proud – the evening was decorated in stars and stripes. Guests walked the turf carpet and posed for pictures in front of a custom PXG Fairway Camo moss-covered step and repeat, feasted on bounties from the Eastern Shore such as crab crostata, and enjoyed cocktails and hors d’oeuvres as DJ Rowshay brought down the house.

Bob and Renee Parsons gave opening remarks followed by an inspired rendition of the National Anthem performed by Calvin Bishop and Big Swing & the Ballroom Blasters. The founding couple made it official with the cutting of a ceremonial ribbon alongside Fairfax Councilmember, So Lim and flanked by two PXG Heroes Squad members Chris Nowak and Stephen Turbo Toboz.

The Parsons celebrated with noteworthy guests including Santana Moss, Jonathan Allen, Logan Thomas, Montez Sweat, Terry McLaurin, Josh Jackson, Ken Harvey, Rahiim Moore, Therese Holland, Cathy Kim, and Bryce Cope.
 
PXG Fairfax’s 7,000 square-foot facility features an expansive retail showroom with PXG’s latest apparel, accessories, and bags, expansive golf club fitting bays powered by TrackMan technology, and a dedicated putter fitting studio and practice putting green. A relaxing customer lounge area tops off the in-store experience, offering customers the opportunity to relax after a fitting or watch the latest golf tournaments.

Each day the Royal Blue grounds crew places tee locations on the course according to the changing Nassau weather and playing conditions, ensuring a unique experience each time guests play. 18-hole reservations start at $220 per person, which includes green fee and shared golf cart with GPS. PXG rental clubs will be available for an additional fee upon check-in.

At the recent PXG College Golf Showcase, two teams of college students competed to raise money for nonprofits, including The Semper Fi & America’s Fund. Watch PXG Founder, Bob Parsons sat down with The Fund’s chairman – Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Joseph F. Dunford Jr. – and comedian/Marine Rob Riggle to discuss The Fund’s mission and how PXG will continue playing a part.

Video Transcript

Rob:

Gentlemen, what an honor it is to be here with you, two other Marines. I am a Marine as well. So Bob Parsons, you’ve done so much. And of course, General Dunford, you’ve done so much for Marines. Let’s talk about the Semper Fi Fund, the Semper Fi & America’s Fund now. I’ve been with this so long, back when it was just the Semper Fi Fund, but now we’ve added America’s Fund as well to that. Can you tell me if you don’t mind General, jumping in on this one? I’m curious, educate us on what the mission is.

General Dunford:

Sure. Well, as you know, Rob, a number of men and women who serve, have catastrophic wounds and injuries that really have a big impact in their lives. And so the primary purpose of the fund is to give them as much of the independence and the quality of life as they would’ve had in the context of their injuries.

Rob:

Well, and there is. When I talk to people about this, they say, “Well, isn’t the government taking care of that? Doesn’t Uncle Sam, isn’t they supposed to jump in and do that?” And yes, to a certain degree they do, but there’s always gaps. There’s always gaps. And I always feel like that’s what the Semper Fi & America’s Fund really helps to do. Is that accurate?

General Dunford:

Look, I couldn’t agree more. That’s exactly right. I mean, there’s only so much the government is going to do. And then the private sector has to pick up and fill those gaps as you talked about. And that’s exactly what we seek to do.

Rob:

Good. Awesome.

Rob:

Mr. Parson, you have spearheaded so many different projects, so many different ways to help our veterans, obviously being a big supporter of the Semper Fi & America’s Fund, you also do a lot in other ways. What are you happy to see going on here?

Bob Parsons:

Well, I love the fact that the Semper Fi Fund is being represented here and most capably by General Dunford, who heads it up now and he’s made a nice difference. The fund has made a tremendous difference. My wife and I have been supporting them for, I’d say the better part of 10 years, if not more than 10 years. And so we’re very excited about that. And we also have a number of other military organizations we support, but right at the moment, we’re focused on the Semper Fi Fund.

Rob:

Well, and you’ve always done a really good job too, of finding different ways, I’ve found, to support the Semper Fi Fund. Not only do you directly support them, but you also support them in other ways, by matching other people’s work, myself included. I had a golf tournament that I did for a while for the Semper Fi Fund. And you were always very gracious about, “Well, what did he raise? He raised that much? I’ll match it.” And it always doubled the numbers, which was, I found, just truly remarkable. And I always appreciated that too. So thank yovu.

Bob Parsons:

No, it’s always our pleasure to do something like that.
